The IPC FIPE Domain

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

• Period: Filters by the collection/reporting period.

  • Start date:

  • End 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).

*You can search using any of the above criteria marked with an asterisk. You can also search, but not filter, by:

• Data Source Document: The name of the document used as the primary source of information or data.

• Data Source Organization: The name or unique numeric id of the organization that provided the data source document.

• Geographic unit name and code: Name and/or code of 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.

• Scenario code:

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 Price domain data selection table includes the following columns:

• Country: The name of the country where the price was observed.

• 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:

• Last:

• 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.

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.

The final section of the IPC FIPE domain is data visualization and export. The Options button in this section presents the available options for aggregation or conversion of the data. The available parameters are:
