Adding an NSDP indicator page - Vanuatu-National-Statistics-Office/vnso-nsdp-platform GitHub Wiki

Create the data file

In the data folder, create a new file. Name the file according to the indicator's goal/id, following the same naming convention as the other files. For example, if this is indicator ECO1.1.z, then name the file indicator_ECO1-1-z.csv.

You don't have to add data to the file, but at least make sure that it has columns. For example:

Year,Units,Series,Value

After saving the data file in GitHub, you should see the new indicator on the platform.
