May 2023: Customizing Data

The biggest change you’ll see in the FEWS NET Data Explorer (FDE) with the 23.04 release is the ability to quickly search through filter options in the Customize sidebar, as well as a fix for saving searches. Plus, we’re introducing a new series of how-to videos to help you get the most out of the FDE. This month, we look at how to view and download population data directly from the Spatial domain.

Searchable Customize Filters

You can now enter a search term to choose an option in the Customize sidebar. Quickly select what you need without scrolling.

Save Search Bug Fix

This release includes a fix for a user-reported issue with the Save Search to Datasets option. Searches can now be saved normally.

▶️ How-To Series: Accessing Population Data in the Spatial Domain

In our first how-to video for the FDE, you’ll learn how to use the population and demography data options from the Customize sidebar. You can also find step-by-step instructions anytime in the Knowledge Base.
