Welcome to the Community Accounts. For first time users of the site, the concept of navigating through the site is easily explained. We found that users who came to the site might not immediately understand the concept of an Account, but that most everyone had a geography in mind, perhaps the province as a whole. So that's why the flow in getting to data within the Community Accounts is normally Select Geography > Select Account > Select Information (data, tables, etc). The first step in navigating the site is selecting a starting geography, Step 1 in the menu. At the top of the Select Geography list in Step 1 there is an overview that has a description of all of the geographies available on the site.

The Community Accounts Menu

Once you have a geography selected, you can then select your Account. Once on the account selection page, as indicated below, there are several tabs available, depending on your geography type. The default is the Accounts tab, which will display the Well Being Diagram, as well as a detailed writeup about each of the accounts. There may be a Profile tab which will show you a quick writeup of some of the more commonly used and requested numbers for your current geography (useful for printing). This can help you discover which Account contains your desired information. Another option is the Table Listing option, which lists all the tables contained in each account. Using this option will let you do Steps 2 and 3 at the same time (selecting the table will select the account that table is within). A Provincial Indicators tab is displayed when a province or territory is the selected geography. This tab includes a list of indicators by Account that are available at the provincial level. Lastly, there is an Overview tab that has a short description of each tab on the account selection page.

The Account Selection Page

Now that you have a geography and an Account selected (assuming you didn't choose a table from the table listing), you should be viewing an Account. Different Accounts have different types of information available. This can include Headline Indicators, Tables, Charts, Related Sites, Additional Features, Maps and several others. Clicking on any of the listed sections will expand the section (this is done to decrease the amount of time needed to initially load the page). This is demonstrated through the screen image below.

The Health Account Page

From here you can select the different sections in a given Account:

• Headline Indicators

  A number of selected indicators are highlighted from the Account tables. The default will be the value for your selected geography, and if that geography is not available, the value will be shown for the next highest geography value. A chart or map for the indicator may also be available.

• Structure

  Only available for some Accounts at the current time, eventually all Accounts will display an Account structure.

• Tables

  Listing of all Community Accounts tables available for the Account. If they are available for the selected geography, a checkmark will indicate this.

• Charts

  Listing of all Community Accounts charts available for the Account. A checkmark indicates if there is data available for the selected geography.

• Maps from the Map Centre

  Listing of all Community Accounts maps for the Account from the map centre.

• Determinants

  Some Accounts will highlight the Account-specific determinants as part of the Determinants of Determinants approach. Eventually all Accounts will have a Determinants option available to be viewed.

• Related Sites

  Links to other websites that are related to the Account.

• Additional Features

  A list of additional resources available specific to the selected Account.
