The CPI 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: 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 country.

*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 of the organization that provided the data source document.

• Data Series: The name of a particular data series.

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 CPI domain data selection table includes the following columns:

• Name:

• Country:

• Data source organization:

• Data source document:

• First:

• Last:

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

• Reporting schedule: Specifies the intervals that the search result data is displayed. The available intervals include daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, annual.
