Communicating your waste diversion performance can be challenging. This is especially true if your intended audience has never heard of metrics such as diversion rate, MTCE, or MTCO2E. If this is a common obstacle for your communication strategy, you’re in luck: the GHG Equivalencies Report translates complex diversion metrics into everyday terms that everyone can understand.

Enhanced Tracker Reports
You may have already noticed but this month we introduced the enhanced Tracker reports. We were so excited to tell you about the reports that we dedicated an entire blog post to them.

Topping the charts
As part of the newly enhanced Tracker reports, we also introduced two new styles of charts. These chart styles were added to make visual data analysis even easier for specific types of reports.

If you were eager to begin tracking 2016 recycling & waste data, you may have already noticed that we introduced our enhanced Tracker reports this month. The new reports, available in Tracker and Tracker Light, can be accessed by clicking the links in the side bar. We encourage you to log in to begin generating these new and improved reports.

Bringing New Features to the Table
We have introduced a new style of tables to Re-TRAC Connect. The new tables include a search feature so you can easily find the data you’re looking for. You can also click any column header to sort your data in ascending or descending order.

Overall System

Pair with Existing User
Program Managers Only
Program Managers can now use the Register feature to pair a new organization with an existing user. Quickly select from a list of users already approved into the program, directory, or tool. This feature is especially useful when a member of your program reports on behalf of multiple organizations.

Overall System

Quickly switch between locations
Users can now type the name of the organization into the search box to quickly find the location they want to switch to.

Programs & Reporting

Bygone Icons
We have removed the “plus” icons for surveys that were inactive for a specific year. You will no longer see a grey “plus” icon when the survey was not available.

Overall System

The Program Details Page Gets a New Look
The details pages for all programs, directories, and tools has been redesigned so that their descriptions and geographic availability information have been moved to the top of the page. If you have already joined the program, directory, or tool, its description will be abbreviated so that your organizations will be displayed instead.

Programs & Reporting

Keeping Things Moving
Program Managers Only
The “Move Responses” feature can now be used for one-time only surveys.

Coming Soon

Exploring Uncharted Territory
In addition to our many chart options, Re-TRAC will soon be releasing a new style that is based on national and state/provincial maps.
