👀Want to check data coverage or trends of your datasets inside the SDE?
We’ve re-run our full suite of monitoring plots and saved them as PNGs for easy viewing.
👉 Head to:
Workspace > Shared > Dataset Summary Dashboard > 2025_07_28
You’ll find the plots organised into these folders:

• 📁 batch_checks: Shows cumulative record counts by archive to check that each new archive includes more data than the last
• 📁 coverage_by_archive: Compares time trends in coverage across the current and four previous archives to spot any sudden changes
• 📁 coverage_by_records: Tracks total, per-person, and unique person counts over time using the most recent archive only
• 📁 lag: Displays recent monthly record counts (with smoothing) to help detect data lags or delays in recent archives (visually looking at the core plots, full coverage is now available up to March/April 2025)

Each folder contains individual PNGs for quick review (no need to run any code).

📌 Additional notes:

• 📉 HES A&E: You’ll notice a drop in HES A&E records in the last two archived_on batches - see the comment below for more detail on this change.
• 🛠️ NICOR datasets haven’t updated in the July batch. Just to recap:
  – These datasets are now updated annually and will be provisioned manually going forward
  – Just a reminder: the April refresh resolved some major coverage issues (e.g. duplicates and missing data) but there is a 13% drop in records as at the April batch of NACSA (this is being caused by records pre 2018 being missing in the latest batch - see coverage_by_archive plots for more detail)
