on the dashboard
Amongst others, the dashboard includes data pertaining to elections, municipal finance and demographics. The dashboard also comes with three different ways to view the data.
Explore the data mapper view
This view provides a graphic representation of the various datasets for a selected geographical location. It’s particularly useful for comparing data across different provinces, municipalities or even wards.
Explore the point mapper view
This view uses GPS coordinates to map point data. Once a point is selected, more information about that particular point can be viewed. The utility of this view lies in its ability to show the geographic spread of particular data, for example where protests have taken place.
Explore the rich data view
This view shows all available data for a selected geographical location in chart and table format. This is best for seeing all available for a chosen geographical location in one place.
