WELCOME TO DATA LIBRARY

From the Data Library tile on the IMPLAN Dashboard users will be directed to the Data Library Welcome Page. The buttons along the bottom of the welcome page provide the following:

“Resources” links to the entire IMPLAN Support Site page to find all Data Library related articles.
“Looker Guides” links to this article where we’d like to provide more in-depth resources offered by Looker:
“Community Forum” links to the Data Library section on the Community Forum.
"Contact Support" prompts an email draft to support@implan.com. Using the subject line “Data Library”, helps direct the question to the appropriate members of our support team.

DASHBOARDS, EXPLORES, LOOKS

Data Library consists of three main tabs in addition to the welcome page: Dashboards, Explores, and Looks.

Dashboards: collection of tiles with an answer to a particular question; answer to related Looks on one page (a collection of data query visualizations)
Explores: where users build and run data queries in Looker by filtering, selecting, and pivoting Dimensions and Measures
Looks: saved reports; results of a data query

LOCAL AREA AND FOOTPRINT DASHBOARDS

Data Library also has two additional sections of Pre-built Dashboards: Local Area and Footprint. The information gathered in the Local Area dashboards encapsulates various data topics to aid local area researchers in understanding a broader view of the local economy. The Dashboards available in Data Library Footprint are useful for studying Employment within an Industry or Occupation for a given Region.
