The home page of the FEWS NET Data Explorer (FDE) has several dynamic widgets that can make using the system more efficient.

Support Widget

The support widget is a green button with Support written in white text.

The Support widget is actually available in the lower right hand corner of all pages of the FDE. You can use this widget to search for and read support articles and to submit help tickets without having to leave the site.

Dataset Quick Search

Under the search bar, names of datasets are listed.

The Dataset Quick Search widget allows you to quickly search for and download datasets across all data domains. You will only see results for datasets you have permission to access.

This widget searches across domain, dataset name and ID, metadata, descriptions, visibility, and owner username.

You can refine your search using operators such as quotation marks, the word or, or a minus sign. See the Search and Filter page for details.

Clicking on the name of a dataset or the CSV download button will download a .csv file of the dataset.

My Top Pages

The My Top Pages widget as it appears on the Home screen.

The My Top Pages widget allows you to quickly access your top three most visited domains and top three most visited datasets.

As a new user, you will see the most frequently visited domains and datasets across all FDE users. As you use the FDE, this widget will update accordingly.

Clicking on the name of a domain will bring you to that domain page. Clicking on the name of a dataset will load the dataset.

Data Updates

The Data Updates widget as it appears on the Home page.

The Data Updates widget allows you to easily see new data series added to the FDE.

This widget will show updates based on the domains you use most frequently.

Each entry shows the name of the new data series, the date it was added, and the domain the data series belongs to.

This is a static widget. Clicking on the entries will not open the corresponding data series.

Knowledge Base Articles

Direct links are provided to the Getting Started Guide, as well as resources such as Frequently Asked Questions and Definitions and Standards.

The Knowledge Base Articles widget allows you to easily access the FDE knowledge base.

New articles regularly appear in this list to highlight important updates and changes.

FEWS NET Latest

The FEWS NET Latest widget as it appears on the Home page.

The FEWS NET Latest widget allows you to easily keep track of the latest FEWS NET news and reports.

There are three sections to this widget:

  • Latest Tweets contains a feed of the FEWS NET Twitter account.

  • News & Analysis contains links to the newest reports on high priority countries, special alerts, press releases, and other significant communications.

  • Follow Us contains links to FEWS NET social media accounts.
