Use Templates when Sharing Data

Do you share data snapshots or reports from your outcomes or other surveys? Use templates (found in PowerPoint, Word or Excel) to ensure you have clear, consistent language that always accompanies your visuals to provide context. Try to include when your report was run, the source of your data, populations included, or other relevant details. For example, your senior outcomes data visualization might include the dates of survey collection and if you excluded or converted international salaries, state that adjustment.
