Confirm a dataset supports the geographies you need
Keep the geography coverage and required query predicates for a Census dataset visible before your team builds a recurring analysis around it.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action

Why this helps
A research plan can lose time when its chosen dataset does not support the desired geography level.
- Review supported geography levels for a dataset and year.
- See required predicates before designing a query.
- Catch coverage constraints early in a recurring research process.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notis to Census bureau once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
- 3Describe the Census dataset and year whose geography coverage should be checked.
- 4Choose a recurring schedule and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real dataset and confirm the listed geography levels match your planned query.
Questions about this workflow
Does the check retrieve statistics?
No. It reports supported geography levels and query requirements for the dataset.
Why check coverage on a schedule?
Use a recurring check when your workflow depends on current dataset availability or when the selected dataset year changes.
