The FEWS NET Data Warehouse has been updated to reflect the new FEWS NET brand. This process updated the colors, fonts, and styling applied across the site. There are also a handful of new features designed to improve your experience in the FDW.

New Home Page

The Home page of the FEWS NET Data Warehouse, previously called “Dashboard”, has several new features that make using the system more efficient:

• The system language can be changed by clicking on the Language tab from the top menu of the Home page. 

• The Welcome to the Data Warehouse widget gives a general description about the Data Warehouse with some links for more information.

• The Popular Actions widget shows the most popular or visited pages of the system and provides quick links to these pages.

• The My Recent Actions widget allows a user to trace their recent activity in the system.

• The Related Services widget provides links to other services within the FEWS NET Data Platform.

General Updates to Styling and Positioning of Elements

Button Positions

The buttons and input boxes for pages that show tables of data have been restyled as follows:

• The Add, Import, and Export buttons at the top of the page are right-aligned.

• The Search field is left-aligned.

• The Filter menu is open by default.

• Buttons found at the bottom of pages to perform actions like Submit or Save are now left-aligned.

• Pagination buttons at the bottom of the page are right-aligned.

The Data Collections Page also has the buttons slightly repositioned so that the Publish, Review, Submit and View on Site are now aligned to the right. The button to add a comment to a data collection is now titled Send instead of Post Comment.

Data Entry Field Names

Previously, all the fields on data entry pages, including the non-mandatory ones, were displayed in bold. In the refreshed FDW, only the required fields are shown in bold.

Classified Product Inputs

The input boxes for the Aliases and HS2012 fields for the Classified Product page have been updated to make them cleaner and easier to read. New items can be added to these fields by clicking the Add Another button.

Data Analysis Styling

The styling of charts and dashboards have been updated to follow the new brand. The functionality remains the same.
