Configure Spatiotemporal for Live and Non-Moving Objects Dataset

Perform the following steps to configure spatiotemporal for a dataset containing live real-time data on non-moving objects. Although the data attributes of the different entities can vary with time, the entity locations do not change. The instructions assume that such a dataset is already existing in your database schema.

  1. Navigate to the Datasets page.

  2. Right-click on the required spatiotemporal dataset and click Properties.

    The Dataset Properties dialog opens.

  3. Click the Spatiotemporal tab.

  4. Switch ON Enable Spatiotemporal.

  5. Select the Timestamp (or Date) Column.

    • Both date-type and timestamp-type columns are supported.

    • If using a timestamp-type column, then note that Spatial Studio supports only UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) or GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) time zone for visualizing moving objects.

  6. Switch ON Data is live.

  7. Switch OFF Moving objects.

  8. Select the Entity ID Column that identifies a set of unique entities.

    The Entity ID Column is not a unique column as each entity can have many recordings of its locations in the same table.

  9. Specify Data Change Rate to indicate the approximate frequency of the live feed updates in the table.

  10. Optionally, select the Altitude Column for 3D scene visualization only.

  11. Click Apply.

Your dataset is now enabled for spatiotemporal data visualization.
