Question 1

How do you create new groups and delete groups?

Accepted Answer

To create new groups:

Navigate to the folder in which you would like to add a new group.
Click on 'Create new group'.

Type your new group name in the pop up and click on ‘Save’.

To delete groups:

Navigate to the group you would like to delete.
Click on the three dots on the far right of the group name.
Click on ‘Delete’. However, note that only empty groups can be deleted so you will need to move indicators into other groups before completing your deletion.

Question 2

What is the Indicator Characteristics tab in Data Quality Lab (DQL)?

Accepted Answer

This tab summarizes some basic facts about the indicator that may impact reporting or data quality, as well as explaining how they affect the score. After choosing an indicator, you’ll see cards displaying the indicator’s age, time since the last report, reporting completeness trend and estimated reporting periods. Both age and freshness are counted in terms of the number of estimated reporting periods (i.e. months if it’s a monthly report).

Question 3

How do I add custom colors to my query results?

Accepted Answer

You are able to flexibly color results on the Maps and Table (Scorecard). This function is especially useful to quickly interpret the variability of your data visually.

Run your query and go to the visualization of your interest i.e. map or table.
Open ‘Setting’ and click on ‘Series’

Under 'Series', click on the blue plus (+) sign under ‘Color rules'.
From the 'I want to color' dropdown, make a selection based on your required coloring (scroll down the selection to get more options). The options are:

a. Top: colors the highest results in a certain way you specify

b. Bottom: colors the lowest results in a certain way you specify

c. Values above: colors results above a certain value in a way you specify

d. Values below: colors results below a certain value in a way you specify

e. Above average: colors results with values above the average in a way you specify

f. Below average: colors results with values below the average in a way you specify

g. Preset ranges: colors results based on pre-set ranges. These ranges are:

* * Medians (equal halves): splits the results into two and colors them accordingly
Tertiles (equal thirds): splits the results into three equal parts and assigns a color for each
Quartiles (equal quarters): splits the results into four equal parts and assigns a color for each
Quintiles (equal fifth): splits the

Question 4

How do I show the total of my result in a bar chart?

Accepted Answer

The platform allows you to add a separate ‘total’ bar to your bar chart. This is possible by clicking into the group by tag in the query form and checking “Include total values”. Doing so will compute a total across all values for that group by.

Question 5

How do I create a comparative alert which compares indicators?

Accepted Answer

Navigate to the Alerts feature and click on 'Create Alert.'

Select the type of alert you want to create, i.e. Threshold alert or Comparative alert.

Threshold alerts allow you to compare indicator values to a set value, e.g. if you set an alert for Total malaria positive cases greater or equal to 100, the alert will get triggered when the positive malaria cases are equal or greater than 100.
Comparative alerts allow you to compare two indicators. These can be used to alert users in the case of data quality violations, e.g. when comparing the number of Malaria tests conducted to the number of Malaria positive cases. The alert will get triggered when the number of malaria tests conducted is less than the number of malaria positive cases.

Select the first indicator for your comparative expression.
Select the comparison statement to be used for your alert, e.g equal to, greater than, etc.
Select the second indicator for your comparative expression.
Select the ’group by’ you want your data to be disaggregated by.
Select a filter to be used on your ‘group by’ if applicable.
Select the frequency by which the alert should be evaluated.

Question 6

What is the Map Builder?

Accepted Answer

The Map Builder is a standalone tool developed to enable more advanced mapping use cases. In particular, the tool enables users to create custom maps by plotting multiple entities of interest such as hospitals, schools and other facilities in an area of interest. Users can do this by adding multiple layers to a map such as entity layers or indicator layers. It also provides users with the ability to customize the style of data displayed on the map. The maps can be optimized for printing, and metadata about each location, such as address and phone number, is also available for download.
