This feature is about the visualization platform which shows the following main widgets:

Data Points by Quarter by Data Series Type of the different data domains;
Data Points by Quarter by Country;
Data Inventory Growth of the different data domains;
Data Points by Data Series pie chart Type with the relative proportion of each Data Series sub-type;
Data Points by Data Series Type Table, which shows the number of data points for each sub-type and a grand total of all the data domains;
Spatial representation with maps that shows all the countries, shaded according to the total number of data points of the different data domains.

This feature is about enhancing the Geographic Unit API which shows population, area and population density in a tabular format.

This task is about enhancing the Geographic Unit API which as a result shows population, area and population density in spatial formats.

This feature is about renaming the trade_status field to trade_type in the extracts of both FDE & FDW.

Since the Jira Service Desk is now live , this task is about pointing the FDE signup address to helpdesk@fews.net.

This task is about allowing users to filter by GeographicUnit of the border_point type.

The Hub Helpdesk was previously managed using Redmine, which is another ticket and task tracking system. This task involved moving the Hub Helpdesk operations to Jira Service Desk. Jira Service Desk allows users to access a Helpdesk Portal where internal and external users can read our FAQs and access User Forums to gather more user-focused information. All Helpdesk issues are now going through helpdesk@fews.net.

This task involved reverting back the groups of each country to the correct ones of the M.49 groups which improves the refresh process of the FDW PROD. There had been multiple minor changes to the metadata that inadvertently caused some ripple effects to the system, which this ticket resolved.

This task is about creating FEWS NET Read Only group (i.e. Science Team members) which allows the members of this group:
- To view the FEWS NET Only data;
- To view all the data domains of the FDE;
- To create dataset for all the data domains;
- To access the supporting documents of the Mayan system.

The Mayan app’s default logout link was directing to a wrong url and this was resolved. It now redirects to https://fdw.fews.net/en/logout/.

There was an issue when one tried to switch to Data Management or Data Explorer from the Mayan interface that was preventing them from doing so and this was resolved.

Upon extracting data of the Price data domain, there was extra information showing as ‘hh:mm:ss” on the period date column and this was resolved.

There was an issue with the saved data sets not displaying the data series information they contain, and this was resolved. I.e for the saved data sets the user will get all the Data Points of the Data Series that match the search criteria.

The country name was not showing after the geographic unit type of the border point was created, and this was resolved.

There was an issue upon adding the Geo unit set version of Kosovo which prevented the user to add a new season for the country Kosovo, and this was resolved. Both the Geo unit set version & the season will now be successfully entered into the system.

It was the 502 Bad Gateway error message that popped up when one tried to extract data either from FDW or FDE and this was resolved for all the urls that had this issue.

There was an issue on the dataset api end points and this was resolved. i.e trying to access any of the dataset api end points (https://fdw.fews.net/api/) are all working.

The historical change columns were not available in Exchange Rate extracts of the FDE and FDW and this was resolved.
