Stat-Xplore : User Guide

Stat-Xplore is a browser based client to explore benefit data administered by the Department for Work and Pensions.

Once you have logged in, access one of the datasets available and simply select the fields you are interested in by dragging and dropping to build your first table. Then you can run the query to get the data from the Stat-Xplore database, and visualise the results using a graph or on a map. All you need to get started is your web browser.

This user guide explains everything you need to know to get the most out of Stat-Xplore.

Where Do I Start?

If you are new to Stat-Xplore, then we recommend you step through the interactive tour that displays when you first log in, or follow the steps in the Getting Started section. This will give you everything you need to get started building tables.

Once you've learnt the basics, you can read more about features such as:

• Adding totals and viewing percentages.
• Creating custom groups of items (as known as recodes), which you can download and share with other users.
• Creating graphs or maps and downloading them in a variety of formats.
• Downloading tables to share with others, or saving them on the server for the next time you use Stat-Xplore.
