Aggregate and Display Usage for an Institution's historic theses awarded under a previous Institutional Name
PQDT often contains older theses which were awarded under an institution's old/defunct institutional name. The modern incarnation of the institution should be able to see the aggregated usage for their current ETDs as well as older works, under a single ETD Dashboard account. These older works may also be stored on the same IR as a result of previous digitisation projects the university completed.

Click through to titles from Retrievals by Country map
It would be great to see the number of theses by country when you hover over the map (didn't realise at first there was a table underneath) and then to be able click through to the titles

Option to filter harvested or digitised theses
In PQTD Global our institution has both harvested electronically submitted theses and a large collection of theses that have been digitised by PQ from the former print collection. It would be good to be able to differentiate between the two on the Dashboard, to see the impact of the work we've done digitising the collection.

Create degree program filter or search
Seeing dissertations by school or degree program is either non-existent or not apparent to me. Filtering by subject for something like a School of Agriculture could be across a lot of subjects. It would be nice to have a degree program filter or allow creation of subject groups for specific degree programs like agriculture so I could add animal science, vet science, agronomy, ag econ, ag ed, horticulture, soil possibly natural resources, wildlife management, etc (depending on the school) to a group once, save it, and not have to rerun that filter everytime.

Need more granularity (quarterly, monthly) on date selectors
I'd like to be able to refine dates - retrieval period specifically, but publish dates as well. (J Weinberg)

Put Published Date Range above Retrieval Period Range
Intuitively, it makes sense to specify the range of years that ETDs were published before specifying the retrieval period. (J. Weinberg)

Popular Subjects - Click to Title List
As an administrator of a graduate school or library, I would like to be able to select the "subject bubble" in the popular subject visualization and have it take me to a list of the titles downloaded in that subject, broken down by frequency of downloads by title so that I can identify those top titles used in a subject area.
