An example guide to NSSP Sample Reports

Hello everyone and thank you for your interest in the presentation.

WIP: There are a few items I want to expand upon, including:

  1. Updating the readme. (Done)
  2. Add sections for the first half of the paired R markdown script. (Done)
  3. Re-format the python script section headers to be in parity with the R markdown script.
  4. Add a section to the readme on building queries in ESSENCE and then moving them to a script (e.g. R or python).
  5. Add sections for the latter half of the script that includes graphical generation and outputting to a docx document.
  6. Transitioning to other potential uses of retrieving NSSP data/summaries through ESSENCE.

An overview of the keyring concept

For many operations, Windows will store credentials in a user directory. This can help a user access and maintain their logins.

The easiest way to find where windows credentials are stored is through the search bar, as shown below.

Image showing the Windows Search feature being used to find the Manage Windows Credentials tool.

You can see, shown below, a few items in the Generic Credentials section. Some of them are credentials handled by the Office365 environment; but you also have the option to 'Add a generic credential'. This would be the manual way to create or update a credential.

Image overviewing the Credential Manager, along with a red circle around the item where the login to NSSP and ESSENCE are stored. I name it 'NSSP ESSENCE'.

Since NSSP requires a password change every 90 days, you will need to be acquianted with making those updates in various places. This is one easy way to manage the storage of a credential outside of a shared network drive, and outside of storing a password in the script.
