FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: What is OpenGov?
A: OpenGov is a financial transparency website which displays government finances over a multi-year period. The default view displays usually displays expenses broken down by
department.
Q: How do I select the data I want to see?
A. To focus on specific data — like a fund, department, expense type, or any combination — use the menu on the left side panel. The “Broken Down By” drop-down allows you to
specify which breakdown you want the graphs and table rows to represent on the graph. You can analyze the expense and revenues data by fund, department, or type.
Q: Can I select more than fund or departments?
A. Yes. Use the Data Filter on the left side panel to make specific selections within the data. The Data Filter shows you the hierarchical relationships of Funds, Departments, and
Account Types. You'll notice the title of the graph you are viewing on top along with the account type selector. You can use the filter to see the data of most interest to you.
Q: How do I see the actual numbers within the graph?

Q: Can I see the data in a different graph?
A. In the upper right hand corner, you will see options for the different graphs and tables. There are five graph types: an area graph, an area graph by percentage, a line graph, a
pie graph, and a bar chart. Additionally, there is always a table view below any graph. The table allows you to zoom-in on the detailed financial data selected in the chart or graph
above.
Q: Can I save the data I am looking at?
A. Yes, there are Share and Download buttons in the upper right corner. You can share any view on a social network or by email. There are also options to download the displayed
