How To Release a New Version
The graphs on the web page are generated from Excel with its Save As Web feature. As part of creating an html replica of the worksheet page, png and gif renditions of the graphs are copied to a folder related to the excel workbook. We send the htm file to production@mit.edu and ask them to integrated the newly produced graphics into Drupal in the right places for display on the page.
To update the excel worksheet, download a copy of the workbook mockup2.xlsx from the IS&T Measures wiki page to a local folder on your machine. Open it in excel and update data tables until you're done. Then put the book back.
The measures locker in AFS is the target location for the graphics files. On a PC running afs, mount /afs/athena/project/measures as M: and file save as web the worksheet to M:\pfm2010\mockup2.htm. Email the resulting report to production; they will follow the embedded links to the graphics source files. They will use the png version.
Finally, upload the mockup2.xlsx back into the wiki with the Browse and Attach buttons.
(Sadly there is no record-locking on the spreadsheet, but past versions are archived and can be retrieved if there is a collision.)
