The finished product Argos (Windows): Argos Deployment Services Example 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.
