0:01 If you go to https://riverflydata.org, you'll find this, the Riverfly data dashboard.

0:07 It's an interactive page where you can generate charts for specific sites, rivers, catchments or teams over any time frame.

0:16 I'll just quickly show you how it works now.

0:19 So the default when you open it is showing the entire UK over the last 12 months.

0:24 But you can use these boxes at the top to philtre the data being shown.

0:28 So when you type in here, it'll come up with various options with these letters next to them.

0:33 The S means that's a sight, C means that's a catchment, T means that's a team, and R means that's a river.

0:41 And with this one, you can click on specific months to cover those specific months.

0:48 Or you can use these options at the top, so say 2 years.

0:53 And as well as selecting things through this drop down, you can also just zoom in on things on the map and select them like this.

1:08 So now I've got this site selected over the last two years.

1:12 So that's been 20 samples and there have been zero trigger level breaches in that time.

1:17 And then these charts just summarise the information about that site.

1:23 So you can see here what the river catchment and team is.

1:26 And then here you can see the average RMI score has been 6.

1:30 Looks like at this point the trigger level got changed to 7, whereas it used to just be 0.

1:38 And the these are the scores that each survey has got each month over that time, showing how much of those was each specific invertebrate.

1:50 And you can click on things up here to make them appear and disappear in the graph.

1:56 You can do that in all of those.

1:57 So the count distribution this is showing.

2:02 So about 50% was freshwater shrimp, 50% were olives.

2:07 In this count, you can see the relative proportions of each type of invertebrates.

2:14 You can rule things out to see things a bit more detail if you like, like so.

2:20 And then these charts show the separated out different invertebrate groups and how they've changed over the months.

2:31 And you can do that for any site or you can do it for an entire team or an entire river or an entire catchment.

2:38 And if you'd like to sort of generate a report using this information, this printer button up here, you can use that to print, but you can also use it just to save as PDF.

2:50 You can see instead of selecting a printer, just save as PDF and then it'll make you a handy level summary reports using those charts that get automatically generated.

3:00 So that's how to use the data dashboard.

3:03 And then if you want to browse the data in more detail than this, you can use Cartographer itself.

3:09 And anyone can get an account on Cartographer.

3:12 So if you need to look at the data in more depth or download the data, you just get a cartographer to sign up via our website and view the data using that.

3:25 And I've got another video summarising how to explore the data on there.

3:31 I hope that helped.
