Using the Repository of Administrative Data and Reports (RADAR)

RADAR is the one-stop, central portal for exploring and locating UW-Madison’s administrative data and reports. This KB article explains how to get the most out of RADAR and its multiple methods for finding dashboards or reports.

Search for a Specific Dashboard or Report

If you know part or all of the name, enter it in the Select Report or Tableau Resource filter or select from the drop-down list. The filter searches the names and descriptions of the available reports and will filter as you type.
