How to View and Explore the Data

Step 1

To view the data for your territory, click on Dashboard along the top banner. The dashboard heading shows your territory name and logo. Below it are key totals (e.g., number of cases, number of unique species, number of targets) for the selected date range.

Step 2 — Filter the dashboard

Use the Filters panel at the top of the dashboard to narrow the data shown across every chart and table on the page. You can filter by:

• Date range (with preset shortcuts and a custom range picker)
• Counties and regions
• Biological groups, genus, and species
• Circumstances of admission and clinical classifications

Changes to the filters automatically refresh the totals, charts, and maps below.

To see anomalous events your team has subscribed to, click Alerts in the top banner. The Alerts page lists the targets for which the calculated threshold has been exceeded over the selected period.

Step 3 — Read the totals

The numbers section at the top shows the headline counts for the current filter set. Click on any number to open a modal that lists the underlying cases. This gives you a quick way to drill into the data behind a single figure.

Step 4 — Explore the maps

The dashboard includes two interactive choropleth maps that always reflect the current filter set:

• Cases by County — counties are shaded by case count; hover or click a county for the count.
• Cases by Region — regions are shaded by case count; useful for spotting broader geographic patterns.

Step 5 — Read the charts

Below the maps you will find:

• Cases Admitted Over Time — a temporal bar chart of case admissions for the selected period.
• Cases Grouped by Clinical Classifications — a breakdown of cases by clinical presentation (e.g., neurologic, respiratory, dermatologic).
• Cases Grouped by Circumstances of Admission — a breakdown of cases by the reason animals were admitted (e.g., collision, illness, contamination).

Step 6 — Open the cases list

Click Cases in the top banner to see the full case list for the current filter set. The Cases page provides a sortable, groupable table of every case included in the dashboard's totals and supports tab-based grouping (e.g., by taxon). Your sort and filter selections are preserved as you navigate.

Step 7 — Drill into a single target

To explore a specific surveillance target, click Targets in the top banner and choose the target you want. The target page includes the same date-range picker, a results table showing the most recent matching cases, classification charts, and tabs for Threshold History and Notifications.

Step 8 — Change the date range

You can change the date range for any page (Dashboard, Cases, or a target) using the date-range controls at the top.

Click the start and end dates to type new dates directly, or use the calendar pop-up to pick days. Several preset shortcuts are also available (e.g., last 7 days, last 30 days).
