Features

Enhanced access control based on Data Usage Policy https://fewsnet.atlassian.net/browse/DATA-202

  • This feature enables enhanced access control by defining new data usage policies and restricting the data access by allocating to specific Users or Groups. These controls can be given down to the country level so that certain data within certain countries can be properly protected and/or accessed.

Develop a prototype of vector tiles serving using ST_AsMVT https://fewsnet.atlassian.net/browse/DATA-561

  • We have developed a prototype of vector tiles using ST_AsMVT with an MVTTileRenderer which can be viewed on spatial viewsets. When users click on a country, it will show the Admin boundaries. This capability is still undergoing changes and may not be visible to FDE users on this release; however, the functionality has been developed.

Move Indicator and Geographic Unit filters to Data Series and Data Point https://fewsnet.atlassian.net/browse/DATA-579

  • This enhancement is about moving Indicator and Geographic unit filters to DataSeries and DataPoint filters, which enables a better mechanism for searching among geographic units.

Make Geographic Unit Mandatory https://fewsnet.atlassian.net/browse/DATA-580

  • This feature is about making Geographic Unit a mandatory field for the data series of all the data domains, which will make all data series searchable within the Data Explorer. Previously, there were data series without geographic units attached to them, which made them difficult to locate and pull.

Enable production of Regional IPC pngs and shapefiles https://fewsnet.atlassian.net/browse/DATA-639

  • This feature is about enhancing the production of Regional IPC pngs and shapefile packages. Previously we had to rely on using only country_code to create maps, now we can utilize country_group to create regional maps automatically.

Import IPC Dataseries when importing Datapoints https://fewsnet.atlassian.net/browse/DATA-699

  • This enhancement is about making the IPC uploads a one step process, i.e importing the data points will create the data series which saves time and prevent errors which were caused due to sometimes missing data series.

Add 'pcgn_proper' and `pcgn_name` to Country Search https://fewsnet.atlassian.net/browse/DATA-720

  • This feature enhances the country search by adding the parameters pcgn_proper and pcgn_name to the API: https://fdw.fews.net/api/country/ which allows users to search either by "pcgn_name": "Congo, Democratic Republic", or "pcgn_proper": "Democratic Republic Congo .

Develop Prototype for Commodity Balance Sheet Domain https://fewsnet.atlassian.net/browse/DATA-722

  • The development team has produced a prototype for Commodity Balance Sheet data Domain which will be accessible via FDW here: https://fdw.fews.net/en/admin/balance/commoditybalance/. This capability is still undergoing changes and may not be visible to FDW users on this release; however, the functionality has been developed.

...

Make Data Series lists in Admin screens into clickable links https://fewsnet.atlassian.net/browse/DATA-733

  • This feature was about making the dataseries links clickable in all of all the admin pages (https://fdw.fews.net/en/admin/). This allows users to easily alter the Data Series belonging to a particular Data Source Document or Classified Product.
