I am a new user and want to know how to run my data against specific indicators, that are not listed in the preset indicator lists provided by DataCast Essentials™?

After running your first analysis against "all" indicators, complete the following steps:

PLEASE NOTE: It may take about an hour to complete when running your analysis against "all" indicators.

Step 1: Create a Favorites List

  • You will receive a confirmation email once the analysis is complete
  • When you receive the email, go to the View Analysis page and search by filters or keywords to narrow your search; NOTE: you need to search the exact type of indicator you are looking for in sequential order, example: “US Industrial Production,” not “Industrial US Production”
  • Click the Star icon of the corresponding indicator(s) you want to use
  • Click Create New List
  • Name your Favorites List and click Save/Create New List


Step 2: Run Analysis using your Favorites List as your indicator

  • Return to the Datasets page screen
  • Click Run Analysis
  • Click the corresponding dataset you would like to run your Favorites List against
  • Under Indicators select favorites
  • From the new drop down Select From Favorites List choose the group of favorite you wish to run your dataset against
  • Click Run Analysis
  • You will receive a confirmation email once the analysis is complete
  • When you receive the email, go to the View Analysis page and your graph(s) will populate

PLEASE NOTE:  Your previous analysis will still be visible. If you would like only to see the recently-run analysis, please clear your old analysis first.
