Tableau is an interactive data visualization tool that enables you to create interactive visualizations in the form of dashboards.

A Tableau Dashboard called BioMed Dept. Proposals, Awards, & Expenses has been created for department managers. Security is built into the dashboard so you should only see your department's information.  There are two tabs one for proposals and awards and the other for expenses. A link is included below. If the link brings you to the main project page instead you can access the dashboard by clicking on Biomed Sponsored Project Activity> user specific view> click either Proposals and Awards or Expenses (both will bring you to the dashboard and you can switch using the tabs on the top left of the dashboard).

As you move your mouse over the visualizations you will notice a tooltip appears with additional information about the specific bar. In the Proposals and Award dashboard you can select type (i.e. all awards and proposals or those categorized as new proposals and awards) located to the right of the dashboard.
