About the Tables
Dataset Date is the last date a record was created or changed in the dataset that we have. When the NMBCC dataset is not current, it may be that the collection is static or that we simply haven't received an update from the collection managers. The collection manager of a given collection may be able to provide you with more current data than we have here.
Upload Date is the date the dataset was last uploaded into the NMBCC systems. Even when the underlying data has not changed, it may have been processed differently in later uploads to increase its quality.
Pub, Pro, Strong, and Coll refer to the data filters in place for the public, professional and collaborator access levels respectively. The numbers in these columns refer to the filter codes as shown below. In the codes, "D.R.-S" is short for "Data Restricted - Sensitive" and "D.R.-NP" is short for "Data Restricted - Not Policy." "D.R.-S" is generally used for records that are marked as sensitive, while "D.R.-NP" is used when it is not policy to release certain fields of information for any records. If there are no filter codes listed for a collection at a particular level, queries are not allowed at that level of access and will return zero records.
