Posting Data

Posting data is a crucial step in BeWo's Data Pipeline, allowing you to mark reviewed data as ready for inclusion in your CO2e emissions reports and dashboard visualizations. This article explains what posting data means, why it's important, and how to perform this action.

What Is Posting Data?​

Posting data means that you have reviewed the data and are ready to include it in your reports. It's a way to control the reporting process, ensuring that only validated and approved data contributes to your emissions calculations and visualizations.
