Topic: Atlas downloads and field descriptors

Download data from an Atlas (the Scottish one will do) and the .zip file contains a readme.txt file with a hyperlink in it.
The hyperlink takes you to a page somewhere that describes all the fields in your download.
Well, no it doesn't.
Lots of fields in my download that aren't described in it and lots of fields in it that aren't in my download - what on earth is the relevance of some sort of regional Australian coding to us?
Can this be fixed before the UK Atlas goes live please?
(And please can we have a section under the Atlas category for the UK Atlas)

Re: Atlas downloads and field descriptors

Hello Darwyn

Thanks for your comments.  This will be fed back for development and a new section will be added for the NBN Atlas and all country platforms.  A further update with timescales will be added to this forum in the week.

Kind Regards

Sarah

Re: Atlas downloads and field descriptors

Please note that the download fields are actually due to be discussed in the core Atlas Steering Group meeting on the 16th Jan, so hopefully we may have more clarity on this then.

Kind Regards

Sarah
