Goal

Now that we have projects up and running and data in our XNAT, let's walk through the process of building reports for various segments of your user base.

Building a Custom Report

Examples of Data Visualization in XNAT

Topics

We will discuss multiple levels of reporting and their uses, including: 

1. Real-time reports 
2. User notifications 
3. Data mining
4. Customized reports for publishing

We will demo examples from the CNDA at Washington University of customized reports and notifications, and will walk through the process of building our own working examples. We will also touch briefly on the emerging uses of data visualization, both inside and outside XNAT.

Tasks

• Define report and its data requirements
