Universities are enjoying the benefits of the Supplier dataset creation spreadsheet, which efficiently turns a raw data extract into a dataset ready for UFAST upload. Eight members have used the Supplier dataset creation spreadsheet in their most recent Supplier collections.

The spreadsheet & accompanying handbook help you to document your process and scoping decisions so that they can easily be re-used for your next collection, ensuring more consistent decisions from year-to-year.

We are now building on the spreadsheet's functionality to develop an improved form of Coding Assistance tailored for the Supplier collection. From May, improved Supplier Coding Assistance will make UFAST the fastest way to code your dataset, whether you are using Respondents or a centralised coding approach.
