The mapping tool is populated with live data from the Web-Based Illinois Nutrition System (WINS) and includes sponsors and sites participating in the Child Nutrition Programs who have claimed meals in at least one month of the program year(s), specified by the users selected criteria. The mapping tool provides the user with the ability to search data by:
- Program Type
- Sub Program Type
- Region
- Site Name
- District
- Site County
- Site City
- Serving Time
- Serving Type
- Site Status
- Sponsor Status
Please note that users do not have the capability of downloading their chosen criteria entered into the mapping tool. Instead, the data for each respective year, and program, is available in spreadsheet form under "Participation Data."
Due to the processing of claims, which sponsors have up to 60 days to claim, the most recent Excel spreadsheet is updated on a quarterly basis to ensure accurate data is reported.
The mapping tool has been split into two sections: Detail and analysis. The default mode when the map loads is detail. To switch from detail to analysis mode simply click the button marked detail/analysis and you will be able to toggle between both modes freely. Detail mode will show a breakdown of the participation (authorized rep contact, sponsor contact, etc.) based on the user's selected criteria while analysis displays trends.
The program years presented at the top of the page are preselected so in order to choose a specific year hover your mouse pointer over your desired year and click your mouse button. The year should turn light blue when properly selected. You can select as many years as you wish. To deselect a year just click it again so it returns to white.
To select multiple criteria in other areas of the map (Region, District, Site County, Site City, and Site Name) please hold the Ctrl key while making your selections.
The map in the upper right hand corner displays sites (illustrated as blue points) in the selected criteria. A broader search shows a more expanded view of the map while a narrower search shows a more detailed magnified portion of the map. If you hover over one of the sites the site name, longitude, and latitude is displayed.
Total sponsor and site counts can be found directly underneath the map, which populates based upon the users selected criteria.
The circle graph in the tool represents the percentage and site counts of subprograms based upon the users selected criteria. In addition, a horizontal representation of the same data is located underneath the sponsor and site counts.
The data analytics section is located 2/3rds of the way down the mapping tool. The first two sections, serving time type, and serving venue type, apply only to the School Nutrition Breakfast Program. If the user has selected SNP in the programs filter, and any subprogram that falls under it (besides breakfast), there will be no data represented in these two areas. For example, if SNP is selected along with NSLP, no breakfast data will populate because there is none to display.
** The serving time/venue type filters include an option to select "0". Please ignore this as it is a placeholder we did not have the option of hiding and returns erroneous data.
The program and subprogram type analytics will illustrate trends in any subprogram selected. A trend line will only populate when 2 or more years are selected. When using the trending tools it is better to choose one program and subprogram at a time. The tool can illustrate multiple data sets but the trend lines can get confusing when more than one program is selected. The user can hover the mouse over the trend lines to populate site data for each subprogram and year.
