Argos Deployment Services Example
 The finished product Argos (Windows):
A user can compare
data from 2 –5
years.
The left column is
the quick compare
for the most recent
year and year before
–for each bucket.
The arrow will point
up (green) if the
difference for
number of students
is positive, and the
arrow will point
down (red) if the
difference is
negative.
Please note: The credit hour drop is due to only having two years of end-of-term data available. The first year
shown is using census data with attempted hours rather than end-of-term data with actual earned hours.
