IPND Help Centre: Home

Welcome to the Web Portal Help Centre

Introduction

The IPND Web Portal is primarily a reporting front end presenting administrative metadata from the IPND database in a user-friendly form. It also has the following features:

  • allows organisational administrative users to control their own portal user base,
  • allows scheduling of tailored data extracts,
  • allows direct querying of service upload history displaying non-identifying metadata,
  • allows data consumers to directly enter data quality feedback against specific public numbers
  • provides data providers with trend graphs and ability to drill down to errors

Detailed IPND functionality is documented in the Data Users and Data Providers Technical Requirements for the IPND.
