My Folders

This is your folder to do with as you wish. The contents are not accessible to other Analytics users.

Use My Folders for analyses in development, so that others don't find your analysis and think that it's finished and ready to be shared.

Use My Folders to store backup copies.

Organization of My Folders is up to you; you can create subfolders for different projects, types of analyses, or analyses on different Analytics subject areas.

Before starting a new analysis, search Harvard University shared folders for analyses that will meet your needs as-is, or with some modification.

If you want to use an analysis in Harvard University folders as the basis of a new analysis, first save a copy to My Folders.

• • Include here links to pages on How to search and How to save analyses

A place to temporarily put an analysis in development so that you can work on it with other Harvard colleagues. You may create subfolders in this folder as needed.

The Collaboration subfolder is for interdepartmental collaboration, an example being submitting a ticket to the Analytics and Reporting Working Group for help creating an analysis. One of the members would save a report to a folder under their name for you to access and verify. 

If an analysis is in development and you wish to share it with a Harvard colleague in order to collaborate, save it here.

If you work on analyses in the Collaboration folder, you may want to keep a backup in My Folders, since analyses in this folder may be changed or deleted by others.

A place for analyses developed for use by a particular department.

Analyses in each of the Department folders support work of staff in that department.

You can add subfolders to your department's folder.

Analyses in the subject area folders have been designed to meet a broad array of information needs and to provide multiple prompts for customizing the output.

The subject area folders under Harvard University are organized according to the Analytics subject areas. If you know which subject has the data you need, you can go directly to the folder with the same name and browse available analyses.

Analyses in these folders are meant for the general use of all Harvard units. They use prompt pages instead of hard-coded filters.

Please test that the report output is correct for your unit. If you wish to request either modifications or a new report in these folders, please submit your request to the Analytics & Reporting Working Group support queue.
