Why this helps
Finding the right Census table group is a repetitive research step that can delay a simple data question.
- List table groups for the selected dataset and vintage.
- Make follow-up table and variable research faster.
- Keep the catalog tied to a specific data year.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect AnyDB and Census bureau once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or by telling Notis the outcome you want.
- 3Ask Notis to retrieve and summarize the available table groups for the dataset and vintage you specify.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule, choose where run reports go, and test with one real dataset.
Questions about this workflow
Does the group list include every variable definition?
No. Use the Census variables action for complete variable details, or request metadata for a specific variable.
Can a table group be used in a later query?
Yes, where the dataset supports group queries. Confirm its structure and valid geography before requesting data.
