Configure Spatiotemporal for Non-Live Moving Objects Dataset

Perform the following steps to configure spatiotemporal for a dataset containing non-live data on moving objects. 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.

    The following dialog is displayed:

  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 OFF Data is live.

  7. Switch ON 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. Select the Time Unit.

  10. Click Apply.

Your dataset is now enabled for spatiotemporal data visualization.
