Give Census data gaps a clear owner and next step

Capture missing measures and periods as visible Jira work instead of discovering gaps halfway through an analysis.

Trigger

Recurring schedule

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

Action

Create Issue

Creates a new jira issue (e.g., bug, task, story) in a specified project.

Why this helps

An analysis can stall when a requested measure or period is missing and nobody records who should investigate.

  • Record unavailable measures and periods as they are found.
  • Include the requested geography and data context in each issue.
  • Keep data availability investigations visible.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Census bureau and Jira once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
  • 3In one instruction, list the measures, places, and periods to review; ask Notis to create Jira issues for unavailable or incomplete results and state exactly what could not be retrieved.
  • 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real request that includes a known available or unavailable result.

Questions about this workflow

Can this fill in missing statistics?

No. It can identify reported gaps and create investigation issues. It cannot supply values that are unavailable from the Census data source.

What details should the instruction include?

Name the desired measures, geographies, and periods so a gap can be described precisely.
