Figure 1b: the GUI of the Time Series Lister (with a workflow selected AND a Data Viewer selection)
The Time Series Lister is a pre-configured display and a very handy tool for inspecting the contents of the FEWS database (localDataStore). It provides an overview in tabular form of statistics and other metadata (columns) of the time series (rows) in the database. To aid the inspection of data, the user can add or remove columns, and select and filter rows. From the Time Series Lister, it is also possible to access the content (values) of selected time series by opening the time series display or the spatial (grid) display.
Configuration
