Dataset Highlight: Current Iowa Correctional System Prison Population
Iowa Data Platform
This dataset contains de-identified individual data for offenders currently serving in an Iowa institution or correctional facility. Dataset includes information regarding age, sex, race, offense committed, and supervision status.
Introducing Parameters
Tyler Tech Support
In the data platform, we can now create parameters which allow users to change a variable, such as a number, date, string, or Boolean, in the definition of a query. Parameters differ from filters in that they allow users to change the underlying query logic, where as, filters only allow users to see and use a subset of the existing data. This provides users a whole new way to interact with data.
Derived View Metadata
Tyler Tech Support
Derived views now create revisions, which means the workflow for editing metadata on a derived view is consistent with the workflow for editing metadata on a dataset.
New Look for Internal Site
Tyler Tech Support
If you have an account on the internal data platform, but haven't logged in recently, you probably haven't seen the new bright, clean look. There is now an updated, more intuitive navigation experience, which includes features like single click access to create an asset and action buttons logically grouped into convenient menus.
