With the latest release to the FEWS NET Data Explorer (FDE), you can customize the order of table columns to give more visibility to the information you need. You can also manage these preferences through the new user profile page. Plus, we’ve added loading and updating indicators for tables and visualizations, and a new login screen.
Customizable Tables
You can now change the order of the columns in a data series or data facts table, as well as in the data points table. Click the arrows in the header row to move the column to the left or right. Your changes will be saved automatically.
You can reset the column order to the default view at any time through the new user profile page:
Click the profile icon in the upper right hand corner of the screen.
Select Manage your preferences.
Under Account Settings, click the X next to the table settings you’d like to restore to default. You can also choose All.
Click Save.
Loading and Updating Indicators
New indicators have been added that show you when tables and visualizations are updating in response to filters and data you’ve selected.
The new Loading indicator appears at the top of data series and data facts tables.
The new Updating indicator appears for visualizations and data points tables.
New Login Screen and Sign Up Process
You’ll notice a new simplified login screen and sign up form.
New users can now easily create their own username and password. An email confirmation will be sent once the new account is created and ready to use.
