December 2022/January 2023: Growing and refining

As part of the latest updates to the FEWS NET Data Explorer (FDE), new users will automatically be invited to learn about the platform through the quick workflow tour. Plus, you can now view large numbers of results directly from the data series table. We’ve also laid the groundwork for exciting new features that will customize your experience. Read on to learn more.

Built-in tour updates

The built-in tour of the FDE now launches automatically when new users first log in to the platform, offering a brief overview of its layout and functionality. The tour will also launch to highlight and explain new features as they are released. 

Improved data series table

Pagination has been added to the FDE data series table to improve the loading of results. There is no longer a limit on how many results will load in the data series table, allowing you to scroll through a large number of results without the need to add filters. 

Preparing customized user experiences 

Work is underway to personalize your use of the FDE through new features and user preferences. Planned features include additional ways to visualize data as well as convenient access to saved datasets. Stay tuned for more details in a future release!
