Summarise, confidentialise, and checking tools (guidance)


October 2022   |   Guidance


The Social Wellbeing Agency has developed new tools to summarise, confidentialise, and check research outputs from the Integrated Data Infrastructure (IDI). These tools support efficient processing of tasks that are common to many projects: producing summary cross-tables with counts and totals.

By automating manual process with well tested code, these new tools help our staff deliver higher quality work faster and are now available for other researchers to use. Documentation for these tools is available below, and the code can be found with the Dataset Assembly Tool. These tools are also demonstrated as part of the Agency’s exemplar project.
