About the Tables
DS Date is the date of the dataset. This is the last date a record was created or changed in the dataset that we have. When this date is not current, it is possible the collection itself has a more current version of the data or the collection is static. Date Uploaded is the date the dataset was last uploaded into the NMBCC systems.
Pub, Pro, 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.
Filter Codes:1: For sensitive records: Show Collector, Date, But leave locality blank
2: For non-sensitive records: Show Collector, Date, But leave locality blank
3: For sensitive records: Show Collector, Date, But replace locality (D.R.-S)
4: For non-sensitive records: Show Collector, Date, But replace locality (D.R.-S)
5: For sensitive records: Show All including locality.
6: For non-sensitive records: Show All including locality.
7: For sensitive records: Show Collector, Date, But replace locality (D.R.-NP)
8: For non-sensitive records: Show Collector, Date, But replace locality (D.R.-NP)
9: For sensitive records: Show locality, but replace collector and date (D.R.-NP)
10: For non-sensitive records: Show locality, but replace collector and date (D.R.-NP)
11: For sensitive records: Show date, but replace locality and collector (D.R.-NP)
12: For non-sensitive records: Show date, but replace locality and collector (D.R.-NP)
13: For sensitive records: Show date, but leave locality and collector blank
14: For non-sensitive records: Show date, but leave locality and collector blank
