14. Check unusual observations before index compilationDEC-DP20-014 · Price statistics · Suggested priority: High

Try this decision

Investigate unusual observations before index compilation.

Method. Later/comparison value minus Comparable reference value. Relative change = 100 × difference / Comparable reference value when the earlier value is positive.

Next step. Review evidence. Verify the observation, refer a confirmed exception, or retain it with explanation.

Inputs, example and sources

Keep the same place, observation period, definitions, units and source versions.

Analysis inputs. Comparable reference value [LKR]; Later/comparison value [LKR]

Other required evidence. Item specification; outlet; quote; unit; collection date; comparable baseline.

15. Review geographic differences using comparable labour definitionsDEC-DP20-015 · Labour statistics · Suggested priority: Medium

Try this decision

Review geographic differences using comparable labour definitions.

Verified published component · Weighted estimation component

Method. Weighted proportion = sum(weight×indicator0/1)/sum(weight). Report the classification and eligible population; use design information for uncertainty.

Next step. Review evidence. Publish only supported estimates, improve sampling, or suppress unsupported detail.

Inputs, example and sources

Local weights, population coverage, design variance and ratio-yield interpretation still need confirmation. Positive illustrative weights do not demonstrate every calibration design.

Keep the same place, observation period, definitions, units and source versions.

Analysis inputs. Final design weight [weight]; Indicator for the defined classification [0 or1]; Stratum and primary sampling unit

Other required evidence. Employment status; age scope; survey weights; geography; reference period.

Stratum and primary sampling unit	Upland farms / Rattota cluster
Observed variable	1	0 or1

Retain sampling frame, strata, clusters, nonresponse and calibration. The prototype does not invent complex-design variance, confidence intervals or small-area precision.

Proposed checking role. Survey statistician, subject-matter statistician and disclosure reviewer.

Identify population changes requiring denominator updates.

Validation required

Method. Later/comparison value minus Earlier/source value. Relative change = 100 × difference / Earlier/source value when the earlier value is positive.

Next step. Review evidence. Accept a genuine change for planning review, investigate a discontinuity, or defer comparison.

Inputs, example and sources

Keep the same place, observation period, definitions, units and source versions.

Analysis inputs. Earlier/source value [people]; Later/comparison value [people]

Other required evidence. Census editions; boundary crosswalk; population; age groups; reference dates.

5. Documents and images

Your institution has its own document and image library. Use the same library for reports, photos and other evidence.

Open this screen for Department of Census and Statistics See the presentation example

Department of Census and Statistics Documents and images prototype screen — Department of Census and Statistics. Prototype screen. Select the image to enlarge it.

What you can try

Open Documents and images. Check the institution name.
Use All files, Documents or Images to find a file. Open its preview or download the original.
Use a sample file to try Add file. Private is the starting choice. Public needs a source, permission to share and review.
Use Access preview to try the institution reviewer and Public visitor views.

Files added in the prototype stay in this browser. Public sharing is an access preview. Existing public reference links already work online.

What your institution needs to confirm

Does a separate library for your institution meet your needs?Should new files start as Private for the permitted institution team?Should Public access require a review of the file and sharing permission?What documents and images will you store? Give the file types, usual sizes and need for earlier versions.Which job roles may add files, read Private files and approve Public files?Which files must stay Private? What permission, licence or expiry rule is needed for Public files?What else should change in this library?

6. Data structure management

Data structure keeps the existing source tree, records, charts and map. Manage structure adds a place to propose changes to definitions.

Open this screen for Department of Census and Statistics See the presentation example

Department of Census and Statistics Data structure management prototype screen — Department of Census and Statistics. Prototype screen. Select the image to enlarge it.

What you can try

Open Data structure and choose Manage structure.
Use Add base domain for a main information area. Add inside creates a subject area, a nested subject, an entity type or a field under the right parent.
Give the definition a clear name, code and meaning. Reuse an existing definition when the meaning is the same.
For a field, check the data type, unit, required value, limits and missing-value rule. Save a Draft, then try the separate reviewer view.

An entity type means a kind of thing or event, such as a reservoir or an inspection. Drafts stay in this browser. A demo approval does not change real definitions, data, chart links or sharing rights.

What your institution needs to confirm

Do the existing main topics and subject areas match your institution’s work?Should definition changes stay Draft until the responsible reviewer checks them?Is it right to reuse the same entity type or field when its meaning is the same?Which main topics, subject areas, entity types or fields should we add or change?Which units, choices, limits, decimal places and missing-value rules must each new field use?Which job roles may edit definitions and review them? Who owns each main information area?When a meaning, unit or calculation changes, what review and version history does your institution need?

7. Users and access

User management shows example profiles for each institution. People and Roles and access let you review the proposed account screens.

Open this screen for Department of Census and Statistics See the presentation example

Department of Census and Statistics Users and access prototype screen — Department of Census and Statistics. Prototype screen. Select the image to enlarge it.

What you can try

Open User management and choose the institution. The rows are examples, not a list of your staff.
Use View access to check a role. An administrator title alone does not give access to Private files.
Try Preview invitation or Preview access change. Check the role, start date, optional end date and reason.
Review the example permissions and tell us which job roles should receive each one.

These are interface previews only. They create no account, send no email and change no access. Use example details in the preview. Institution verification does not grant a real permission.

What your institution needs to confirm
