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 country.
Searching and/or applying filters creates a savable dataset. For more information on creating and saving datasets, see Create and Save Datasets.

Data series are presented in table format where each row represents a single data series.
