Features

Investigate dissolve performance in /api/ipcpasemap - https://fewsnet.atlassian.net/browse/DATA-621

• This feature improved the performance of GeoJSON downloads for map visualizations by dissolving internal boundaries prior to extraction so that the download doesn't need to contain any of the internal boundaries under each phase; for instance:

  • 1) https://fdw.fews.net/api/ipcphasemap/?format=geojson&country_code=MZ&collection_date=2020-10-01&scenario=ML1&_refresh=true

  • 2) https://fdw.fews.net/api/ipcphasemap/?format=geojson&country_code=NG&collection_date=2020-10-01&scenario=ML1&_refresh=true

  • 3) https://fdw.fews.net/api/ipcphasemap/?format=geojson&country_code=MG&collection_date=2020-10-01&scenario=ML1&_refresh=true.

Replace Staple Food Price Data Set on Data center with direct download from FDW - https://fewsnet.atlassian.net/browse/DATA-906

• This implementation allows the direct download of the price data file from the data center on the FEWS NET website (https://fdw.fews.net/api/marketprice.xlsx/?dataset=FEWS_NET_Price_Data)

  and the downloaded file contains the selected fields fit for the website extracts.

Review the pre-processing and matching of DataSourceDocuments in uploads - https://fewsnet.atlassian.net/browse/DATA-935

• This feature is about updating the data_source_document field with a trailing space to be recognized in an uploading process.

Add collection_start_date and collection_end_date flters to DataPointFilter - https://fewsnet.atlassian.net/browse/DATA-968

• This enhancement is about incorporating the collection_start_date and collection_end_date filters to the DataPointFilter , DataCollectionPeriodFilter and DataCollectionFilter which enables users to easily update local data visualizations each month via the API, as seen:

  • https://fdw.fews.net/api/ipcphase/?format=geojson&collection_date_start=2021-04-01&country_code=KE , https://fdw.fews.net/api/datacollectionperiod/?format=json&collection_start_date=2021-04-01&data_domain=IPCCLASSIFICATION

  • https://fdw.fews.net/api/datacollection/?format=json&collection_start_date=2021-04-01&data_domain=IPCCLASSIFICATION ).

Support fields parameter for geojson extracts of DataPointViewSet - https://fewsnet.atlassian.net/browse/DATA-969

• This enhancement is about incorporating the fields parameter for GeoJSON extracts of the DataPointViewSet API endpoint, for example: https://fdw.fews.net/api/ipcphase/?format=geojson&collection_date=2020-10-01&country_code=KE&fields=id,scenario,start_date,end_date,collection_date,value.

Support As-Is imports on the three usual import screens https://fewsnet.atlassian.net/browse/DATA-971

• This feature is about implementing the As-Is imports in the three data import screens of the FDW. Users can now upload as-is data (i.e. data that has not been cleaned to match the metadata standards) into the FDW in the same way that data is currently uploaded, for example:

1. Offline Data Uploads screen (https://fdw.fews.net/en/admin/warehouse/dataupload/add/)

Open

2. Add Data Collection screen  (https://fdw.fews.net/en/admin/warehouse/datacollection/add/)

Open

3. Semi-Structured Data Point Admin Screen (https://fdw.fews.net/en/admin/semistructured/asisdatapoint/import/)

As a Food Security Analyst, I want to be able to view the admin 1 & 2 names when I extract market price data https://fewsnet.atlassian.net/browse/DATA-974

• This feature is about allowing the inclusions of Admin1 and Admin2 names in the market price data extracts.

As a Food Security Analyst, I want to be able to view the CPI subnational data associated with an admin 1 in my extract https://fewsnet.atlassian.net/browse/DATA-975

• This enhancement is about showing the CPI subnational data which are linked with Admin1 units, (for instance, https://fdw.fews.net/api/datapointfacts/?format=html&dataseries=26133&fields=simple).

Tasks

Trade Flow resource generates lots of duplicate queries https://fewsnet.atlassian.net/browse/DATA-950

• Since the trade flow resource generates multiple queries which will make the data upload process slow, this task was about generating fewer queries which makes the data upload process faster .

Enable extraction of reusable visualizations in JSON format - https://fewsnet.atlassian.net/browse/DATA-993

• This task was about allowing the extraction of a reusable visualization in a JSON format, for instance:

  • https://fdw.fews.net/viz/viz_visualizations_price_augmentedpricechart.json?dataseries=314489

  • https://fdw.fews.net/viz/viz_visualizations_price_currentprevioushistoricpricechart.json?dataseries__in=314459&historic_range=2y

  • https://fdw.fews.net/viz/viz_visualizations_price_averagepricechangemap.json?dataseries__marketproduct__product=R01112AA&historic_range=1m&dataseries__geographic_unit__country=SD&period_date=2021-02-28

Bugs

Zimbabwe common currency prices not being calculated in data extracts - https://fewsnet.atlassian.net/browse/DATA-533

• The Zimbabwe common currency prices were not being calculated in data extracts and this was resolved.

Fix price charts located under the “Old Charts” tab - https://fewsnet.atlassian.net/browse/DATA-560

• There was an issue in the augmented price chart where the x-axis label and tab names were incorrect, and this has been updated and resolved.

Error uploading ET 2018 and 2009 LHZ shapefiles - https://fewsnet.atlassian.net/browse/DATA-784

• Users received an internal server error when attempting to upload ET 2018 and 2009 LHZ shapefiles. This issue was resolved.

Investigate potential templates (auto-complete field) loading issue with the new Autocomplete functionality - https://fewsnet.atlassian.net/browse/DATA-957

• There was a problem in selecting data values for some pages of the FDW, for instance:

  • https://fdw.fews.net/en/admin/warehouse/datacollection/add/

  • https://fdw.fews.net/en/admin/price/marketproduct/add/

  • https://fdw.fews.net/en/admin/price/exchangerate/add/

  • https://fdw.fews.net/en/admin/price/priceindex/add/

  • https://fdw.fews.net/en/admin/warehouse/datasourcedocument/add/
    This was due to the implementation of the new autocomplete functionality and this was resolved and all the pages are working as expected.

MarketProduct search doesn’t recognize partial Price Types - https://fewsnet.atlassian.net/browse/DATA-961

• There was a problem in the /api/marketproduct/ end point in making search with a partial terms of the price_type , for instance with whol or ret . This was resolved and can be searched using these partial terms, such as https://fdw.fews.net/api/marketproduct/?format=json&search=eth mai ret or
  https://fdw.fews.net/api/marketproduct/?format=json&search=nair mai whol.

Error extracting Haiti and Madagascar availability data - https://fewsnet.atlassian.net/browse/DATA-1000

• There was a problem in extracting the availability data of the countries Haiti and Madagascar and this was resolved.

Collection date field is not automatically populated on the data collection page - https://fewsnet.atlassian.net/browse/DATA-1002

• The collection_date field was not populated automatically, which it should have been, while uploading data on the data collection entry page (https://fdw.fews.net/en/admin/warehouse/datacollection/add/). This was resolved and the functionality is now working as expected.
