New dashboard shows time saved by using digital tools

Posted on 30 May 2023

A new dashboard shows that the time saved by staff using tools developed by the Digital Inclusion, Skills and Creativity team (DISC) has reached 62.9 working days.

The dashboard automatically updates every 24 hours and so far over 55,000 tasks have been completed using the tools. 

The tools are available across the University and aim to support staff by reducing the amount of time spent on repetitive tasks across the Google Workspace such as allowing users to bulk create drive folders or add data to documents.

View the full list of tools created by DISC. 

The savings calculated are the absolute minimum and do not account for staff wellbeing improvements from using the tools, which include: 

• Reduced human error 
• Less time spent on mundane/ repetitive tasks
• A break away from your computer whilst the tool is running 
• More time for professional and personal development
