Data visualizations on SmartDublin

Who is this guide for

  • Users visiting SmartDublin to explore data

What this guide teaches

  • How to make simple graphs of CSV data on SmartDublin

Things to know beforehand

Only data stored in CSV files is suitable for visualization. The only data that can be graphed is where there is a numeric parameter with text fields (for example the weight of waste collected on a particular date), or else text fields that it makes sense to summarise with a count (eg. number of collections in an area).

A maximum of 1000 data points are shown on the graph for performance reasons. This will be taken from the top of the resource, so it's important to understand that the graph you're displaying may be filtered if you are looking at a large data file.

Examples of data visualizations

This is the default graph for Mixed Dry Recyclables. You can change the plot type, for example to “Line” and select only months July-October.
