Users can filter what country events are located in, by selecting from a list on the left side of the page. This will narrow down the results in both the timeline and the map.
If the event does not have a location attached to it, it still appears in
this list only in light grey with the qualifier “(missing this field)”. The
numbers listed beside the country names refers to how many events from that
location are available in the timeline and map.
The check box at the top of the “Country” field tells the user how many of the filters have been checked.
Once the users checks one of these options, the timeline and map will
automatically narrow down the results to the events that belong in that
category(ies). The map legend will also narrow down to only thoses event
types that are in the countries you have selected.
