What is the Travelers Dashboard?

Travelers Dashboard

The Travelers Dashboard is a dashboard in Via Global where Admins can view, search, sort,  filter, take action on travelers, and invite travelers to create an account. The data visible in this dashboard is from Traveler Info and Program Preferences in the Travelers' profile.

The Travelers Dashboard has two views...

  1. Traveler Dashboard view: 
    1. The Traveler Dashboard view displays one traveler and their profile data per row in the data table. Administrators can view, search, filter, and take action on travelers within their Via account. Additionally, administrators can download a CSV report of traveler data directly from the dashboard. Finally, administrators can take action to invite travelers to create an account. 
  2. Traveler Activity Dashboard view:
    1. The Traveler Activity Dashboard view allows administrators to view, search, filter, and report on early engagement activity.

  • Identify which programs are often favorited to inform which programs are popular and which are in need of additional marketing
  • Segment the student population further by visualizing the breakdown of academic information
    • Example: 20% of our travelers in Via Global are freshmen – download this data as a CSV file and create graphs to share your findings with your campus and colleagues
