Time series information – accessing the metadata

Each series has its own metadata containing information about source, frequency, unit, class, currency, inflation adjustment, additional comments, methodology, release dates etc. You can quickly access it from anywhere in the application.

How to access metadata?

Regardless of which Activity tab you are in, the action is always available.

  1. Click on the relevant time series in the list (one or more), making sure it’s highlighted
  2. Navigate to the Actions ribbon
  3. Look to the group of actions available under Presentations
  4. Select Time series information

If you have Macrobond version 1.26 and later you can use blue 'i' icon in the Action ribbon or right-click on a series in data-tree.

See here pre-1.26 version view

 

This will automatically open the Browse tab where the metadata is displayed. It will stay there unless you close the specific Time series information tab.
See here pre-1.26 version view

To return to your work, simply click on the Activity tab you were working in.
