We're excited about our recent major update to the NSRR launched today, and wanted to walk through some of the changes made. This blog post will focus on core changes for the dataset user interface.
The NSRR aims to make data access easy, and we're improving your access to data by giving an at-a-glance view of the datasets you have access to immediately when you navigate to the datasets page on the NSRR.
For each dataset, you are now shown your current status of data access. Most datasets require a Data Access and Use Agreement (DAUA) to be filled out in order to download dataset files.
We've also greatly reduced the visual clutter on the root dataset page as well as the individual documentation pages.
Each dataset provides a simple overview and quick look at the contents of a dataset. The individual pages have been restyled with a simpler navigation panel and user interface elements to help improve the focus on the content of the documentation.
Our next blog post will be dedicated to improvements to our variable pages, but we wanted to mention that a better search algorithm is ready to try out.
