Introduction

This is related to population data on IPC. This page allows you to enter, view, edit, import or delete IPC Population information in the system.

The IPC Population data in KDW consists of dataseries (IPC Population) and datapoint (IPC Population Size) records.

This page provides help information on both dataseries and datapoints and describes various data management operations that can be done in the system for both.
