Dataset Highlight: Iowa Campaign Contributions Received
Iowa Data Portal
This dataset contains information on contributions and in kind donations made by organizations and individuals to state-wide, legislative or local candidate committees, state PACs, county central committees, state parties, and state and local ballot issue committees in Iowa. It contains over 2.11 million records providing information on contributions starting in January 2003.
Exploration Canvas for Public Users
Data & Insights Knowledge Base
The public can now interact with public datasets and derived views on Iowa Data using the exploration canvas. The exploration canvas takes tabular data exploration, data shaping, and derived view creation on Iowa Data to the next level.
Create Filtered Views Using Relative Dates
Data & Insights Knowledge Base
It is now possible for state employees to create filtered views of data based on relative dates. Within the SoQL editor, you can now create queries that depend on the current time in UTC time zone by using the get_utc_date function. This allows you to created filtered views to answer questions like “what are the records from the past 30 days?”
Present Grand Totals in Tables
Data & Insights Knowledge Base
State employees can now configure a grand total row to any table with hierarchies configured within stories. Grand totals provide public or internal users with the ability to see both summarized and detailed data in a single view, allowing them to better understand the data and self-derived insight.
Start Using Dataset Alerts
Data & Insights Knowledge Base
Using the Alerts feature, state employees can set custom alerts on datasets they have access in to Iowa Data (Internal). Alerts can be set up to be triggered when certain conditions are met, such as:
- Tell me when the number of offenders released from the Iowa State Penitentiary this month exceeds 20
- Tell me when the number of bottles of Fireball Cinnamon Whiskey sold this month in Urbandale, IA exceeds 1,000
- Tell me when a dataset has not been updated for more than 30 days
