Discussion 

Ann Crawford (Unlicensed) - reviewed the hierarchy report and datafow.  Bruce Miller recommended driving with position and including vacant.  Darshan Etz mentioned that the data should be campus wide and will investigate the possibility of opening the security to show all positions.   

Tedi Tehrani Is it possible to hard code the campus branding colors in PBI and not modify for each visualization? 

Adam Sottosanti (Deactivated) demoed the theme generator site, posted below and Tedi Tehrani walked through applying a json theme file to her report.

It will be good to have a few choices of theme files to apply.  We can revisit next week.

Mara Morrison and Isiah Fimbrez did not make it for the presentation so will revisit next week.
