This page explains how to use the Application Overview tool, which comprises a weekly-updated visual comparison of Applications, Offers and Acceptances made to the University of York for the current, and previous, cycles.

The Application Overview tool forms part of the Application Dashboard suite of Tableau workbooks.


Both this workbook - and the underlying data set - have been redeveloped in 2019 for the new cycle (2020/21 entry year).

Besides some cosmetic improvements, the workbook has changed little but some underlying data definitions have been adjusted with the result that previously reported figures may now be presented differently - and more accurately.

Details of the changes made can be found below.

titleHow to Use this Workbook


The workbook contains two main tabs:

Department Analysis: this tab simultaneously shows data for each combination of Level of Study and Fee Status Group (UGH, UGO, PGTH, PGTO, PGRH, PGRO).

Department Analysis - Full Screen: this tab shows a larger graph for a single selection of Level of Study and Fee Status Group, as selected by the user.


Both tabs work basically the same way and, where applicable, filter options selected in one tab are retained in the other.

Please note that the University of York handles admissions for English language pre sessionals and therefore these figures show under UG and PG tabs. 


The workbook is updated weekly (each Monday) and shows application data as at the current point in the application cycle. For previous cycles, comparable data is shown at the equivalent date.

For example, on 14th October 2019, the most recent data for the 2020/21 cycle is the overnight position on 13th October 2019. The equivalent data for the 2019/20 and 2018/19 cycles is, respectively, the 13th October 2018 and 13th October 2017.

Using the Change Date Window option you can restrict the time period shown in the graphs (e.g. to the last month); this permits more detailed scrutiny of difference between each academic year

Using the Choose Metric option you can change the measure that is plotted in the chart. Available options are: Applications; Offers; Live Offers; Unconditional Firm; Withdrawals.
