Feature Highlight - Jump to Path
Posted on Sep 28, 2018 by Admin
Welcome readers! Today we have a quick feature highlight that will assist you in browsing and searching for data variables.
All data variables have a path where they reside within their datasets. For example, the data variable: % Education, College, Master's or Doctorate Degree can be found at this dataset path: Census Data » People and Households » Education » Attainment.
Each » reflects a different folder and subfolder. In the above example, the Attainment folder is within the Education folder that is found under People and Households within the Census Data.
Did you know that you can jump into the folder directly from your category search? Simply click on the folder path at the top of the search results. as shown below:
This will open up the folder where you can view all variables that reside there:
That’s all there is to it! We hope you enjoyed this quick tip today. Please feel free to reach out to us if you’d like to review a specific feature or data.
