CSV Updates

There are four .csv files which update the data and content of the site. They are all located in the assets/data folder. For all of them, don't alter the column headings or the site will break. Descriptions of the four individual files can be found below. Edits can be made in one of two ways:

Edit the file directly as described above.
- If you are adding a new file in place of the old one and want to just copy that data in, follow these steps:
  - Navigate to assets/data
  - Click "Upload Files"
  - Drag the new data on to the screen (or select it when prompted)
  - Click "Commit Changes" (adding an optional message if desired)
  - NOTE: this will replace the previous data set
You can also make changes using git from the command-line or the Github Desktop editor.

mi-data.csv

The main data powering the site. Columns for additional years can be added as long as the 'Indicators' are still named the same things. Rows with additional countries can be added as well. All of the values should be numeric (for instance, "<0.1" or " 367,011.00 " will cause a display error).

links.csv

This file stores which countries have links to additional information. The first column should match the country's iso3 found in the mi-data.csv file. The second column should contain the full link to the page where additional information can be found.

studies.csv

This file stores all the landscape study links. Match the existing format for all columns.

types.csv

This file provides descriptions for the eight main microinsurance indicators. Any text in the column, "description", will be shown on the info tooltips on the site.
