Fathom Reference > Inspector Panels > Microdata Panel

When you Import U.S. Census Microdata from IPUMS, the microdata collection has a panel where you can specify which cases you want and what attributes you want them to have.

 

The Microdata panel has three panes: the top-left pane allows you to choose cases and attributes to import; the top-right pane shows the controls for the selected group; and the bottom pane describes the current request, gives you a link to IPUMS, tells you how many cases you have imported, and has a button that you click to import data.

Note: You can resize the three panes by dragging the dividers between them; and, of course, you can resize the entire inspector window.

 

The details of census microdata import can be found in Import U.S. Census Microdata from IPUMS.
