Power BI apps - Directorate of Planning
The current Power BI apps produced by the Directorate of Planning are based on verified data sets used by OfS as our regulator. We recommend use of these apps if you are trying to match University of Manchester data to OfS metrics or compare with other institutions. If you need a more up-to-date view of student data, you may be interested in the apps provided by the Student Data Team in DSE.
Requesting access to the Planning Power BI apps
In order to gain access to any of the reports on Power BI, you will need to complete an access request form through Support Portal.
Login to the IT Support Portal with your University username and password. In the Search box, type 'Power BI'. Select the Service Request form called 'Power BI'.
In the ‘User license is for’ text box, please leave this blank if you are requesting access to an app for yourself. If you are requesting access on behalf of a colleague, type in their full name; their ID numbers and email addresses should autofill.
Select 'Access to Power BI reporting area' in the form, and type the full name of the app in the text box. Once you have completed your details in the form, select Review and Submit to complete the request.
If you have any queries regarding your access ticket once it has been raised, please contact IT Services.
Pinning an app to your apps page in Power BI
Once you have gained access to the Planning apps, you can either access them through the links in the table above, or you can pin them in your Power BI web browser to ensure that you can access them each time you log in.
On your Power BI homepage, select 'Apps' from the menu on the left hand side of the page.
Select the yellow 'Get apps' button on the top right corner of the page.
Search for 'Planning' in the Search box to show the full list of Planning apps. Navigate to the app you have access to, and select 'Get it now'. This will take you through to the app, but will also ensure that it is saved to your apps page.
