A comprehensive online resource offering interactive visualisations and in-depth analysis of global demographic and economic data.

i. Selecting the Country object

Once you have travelled to the home page of the Scopacasa Assistant, click on the Object Selection select-box (highlighted in the red box in the screenshot below). Once the available items appear, click on the Countries option.

ii. Search for a Country to view

Once you have selected the Country object in the sidebar, the Item Search bar will appear at the top of the page. The Assistant of Scopacasa Platform will ask you to search for and select a Country record.

iii. Viewing the record's profile

Once you have selected a Country record from the Item Search bar, some basic details about the country’s profile will appear. The Assistant will also attempt to provide a short summary of the information.

In the screenshot above, we have selected and are viewing information for the country Australia.

iv. Searching for an Economic Data Item

Below the country’s Profile section is an analysis tool to view Economic Data for the selected Country. To select an item to view, search for and select a field in the Item Search bar below the Economic Data heading.

v. Viewing the data in a table

In the screenshot below, we have selected and are viewing data for the item Gross Domestic Product.

The left side of the Economic Data container contains a table with three columns:

  • Year: The year the data in its respective row is representative of.

  • Value: The value of the Economic Data item selected for the Year mentioned in that row.

  • Percentage Change: The percentage change in the item's value from the previous year to the current year. Negative values will have a red background, while positive values have a green background.

The earliest year where this data is recorded will be at the bottom of the table, while the latest year’s data will be at the top of the table.

vi. Viewing a summary of the data

To the right of the table is a Summary section. This will contain a sub-section for the maximum, minimum and average values in the table. The year of those values will be displayed alongside them.

The sub-section below will contain the minimum, maximum and average Percentage Change values, highlighting the smallest, largest, as well as the average change of the selected Economic Data item between years.

Please note that if a value appears more than once in the table, only the latest year where that value was recorded will be stated in the Summary section.

vii. Viewing the data in a graph

Below the Table and Summary section, the same data will be displayed in Graph form.

The y-axis is representative of the Value being measured, while the x-axis is representative of the Year when that value was recorded.

Hovering over a specific period will trigger a tooltip to appear, where the period’s Year and Value will be displayed.

viii. Viewing the reference list

The last section of the page contains a Reference List, displaying any sources used to compile information for the relevant analytics tool.

The screenshot above is of the Reference List for the Countries object. We can see that Databank - The World Bank was used to compile information for this analytics tool.

ix. Viewing the currencies of a selected country
