The IPC FIPE domain is broken into three sections:

1. Search and filter

Expand
titleExpand for more info about search and filter

You can search by various criteria including:

  • Data source document: name and organization

  • Data series: name, description, and metadata

Learn more about search functionality in FDE.

You can filter the available data series using one or more of the following criteria:

  • Period: Filters by the collection/reporting period.

    • Start date: Returns all data series starting on or before this date.

    • End date: Returns all data series ending on or after this date.

  • Geographic: Filters by location of the FIPE data. This filter aggregates items into a multi-level lists (e.g., admin 1 units are aggregated into countries, which are aggregated into regions). Selecting the higher-level item in the list will automatically select all the lower-level items in the list.

  • Phase: Filers by IPC phase.

  • Scenario: Filters by scenario (i.e., Current situation, Most likely in 6 months, or Most likely).

2. Data Selection

Once you have applied your search terms and filters, you will be presented with a list of all available data series that match your criteria. A data series is a collection of related data points from a single data source that are viewable as a single row within a table of data. They represent the change over time of a specific indicator. Data series are presented in table format where each row represents a single data series.

The IPC FIPE domain data selection table includes the following columns:

  • Country: The name of the country for which an estimate was given.

  • Geographic unit: A geographic area or point such as a portion of a country or other region delineated for a specific purpose, such as an Administrative Unit (Province, District, County, etc.), Livelihood Zone, or Market.

  • Phase:

  • Scenario:

  • First: Period date for the first collection/reporting period in the data series.

  • Last: Period date for the last collection/reporting period in the data series.

  • Count: The number of data points in the data series.

  • Info: Hover over the information icon in a row to see more details including the data series ID and , data source document, and data usage policy.

Tip

To visualize and export data, you will need to select one or more data series by checking the box at the beginning of the row containing that series.

In addition to selecting data series, you can interact with the data selection table in the following ways:

  • Selected data series can be viewed in the Selected tab.

  • You can clear your selections using the Clear Selected button.

  • By default the series are ordered alphabetically by country. You can click on the header of any column to sort by that column instead of by country.

  • Selecting one or more data series creates a savable dataset. For more information on creating and saving datasets, see Create and Save Datasets.

3. Data visualization and export
