You can filter the available data series using one or more of the following criteria:

  • PeriodStart date and End date:Filters data series by the collection/reporting period.

  • Start date: Returns all data series starting on or before this date.

  • End date: Returns all data series ending on or after this date

    period dates of all data points within the series. All data series with at least one data point that has a period date inside the date range will be displayed.

  • Data Series status: Filters data series by active or inactive status. Inactive Data Series have been marked by a data manager as no longer receiving new data. This may be because a change in the way the data is being collected (such as a new source or change in units) warranted starting a new Data Series, or because the data is no longer being collected.

  • Geographic: Filters by location of the response. This filter aggregates items into a multi-level lists (e.g., admin 1 units are aggregated into countries, which are aggregated into regions). Selecting the higher-level item in the list will automatically select all the lower-level items in the list.
    Note: The International category in this filter contains countries not currently monitored by FEWS NET.

  • Indicator: Filers by a metric of interest and allows for meaningful comparisons over time. The indicator options for the Responses domain include options such as Total operation cost and number of beneficiaries.

  • Data Source Document: Filters by the name of the document used as the primary source of information or data.

A data series is a collection of related data points from a single data source that are viewable as a single row within a table of data. They represent the change over time of a specific indicator. Data series are presented in table format where each row represents a single data series.
