Data & codebook
- Generate a codebook automatically
With a structured and labeled dataset, you can generate the codebook automatically for faster results and no manual work.
- The Codebook - Part 1
What is a codebook and why do I need one? The codebook contains all the key instructions and criteria used to link your data with DataLion.
- The Codebook - Part 2
The codebook is a metadata file that defines the default settings of a project and links the dataset with DataLion, so data can be visualized easily.
- Handling missing values
Handling missing values in data is central to analysis. Some missing values you want to see in your analyses, others you do not, and they can be included or excluded from calculations.
- Zero-downtime update (automatic)
With the zero-downtime update, data in a project can be uploaded automatically without the dashboard being temporarily unavailable because of the data upload.
- Data sources and data tables
Data is uploaded into DataLion via the project backend into data sources. As soon as a data source is filled with data, a corresponding data table is created in the database.
- Zero-downtime update (manual)
An (almost) zero-downtime update can be carried out manually, so that data in a project can be uploaded with the dashboard being unavailable for only a very short time.
- Data updates
How to update data in DataLion – including automatic and manual zero-downtime updates, so that dashboards remain accessible during the process.
- Using (multiple) data sources in one project
DataLion lets you use one or more data sources in a project and, if needed, link them together (join). Here is how to set this up.
