Usage

The dashboard is a Shiny application written in R, using RStudio.

To view and use the app,

The ui, server and global are located in the top directory. Navigate to one while in RStudio and click Run App located at the top right.

To use the ui, first select a dataset theme (e.g. Population), and then a specific dataset (e.g. Population Estimates). The interface will react to these inputs and generate the next possible Inputs.
