Overview of Datasets Page

The Datasets page lets you view and edit existing datasets, and also create new ones.

The following figure shows the Datasets page:

Description of the illustration datasets-page.png

Datasets that are displayed on the Datasets page belong to one of the following two categories:

• Manually created by clicking Create Dataset or when you perform a Save as operation with the Create Dataset option enabled. This dataset can then be added to the project for visualization.

• Automatically created when you perform spatial analysis, save selected features, or store pins as a map layer.

  This dataset gets instantly added to the map visualization and also appears listed in the Datasets page. Such a dataset is known as a spatial analysis dataset.

You can perform the following actions on the Datasets page:

• You can manually create a new dataset, by clicking Create Dataset.

• You can filter to view datasets that are either created by you, or shared with you, or both.

• By clicking against any displayed dataset or by right-clicking a dataset row, you can perform the following actions:

  • Properties: View or modify properties of the dataset

  • Update Statistics: Update the dataset statistics (refer to Update Statistics for Datasets)

  • Create Project: Create a new project using the dataset

  • Add to Active Project: Add the dataset to the project in the Active Project page

  • Export: Export the dataset (in GeoJSON or CSV file format)

  • Save as: Make a new copy of the dataset

  • Permissions: Configure dataset sharing and permissions

  • Cache: Control map tiles pre-caching activities (refer to About Cache in Spatial Studio)

  • Prepare: Prepare a dataset for any of the following options:

    • Geocode Addresses: Add geocoded information such as geographic coordinates to the dataset

    • Clear Address Geocode: Remove geocoded information from the dataset

    • Reverse Geocode: Add address information from a set of geographic coordinates to the dataset

    • Clear Address Reverse Geocode: Remove address information from the dataset

    • Create Lat/Lon Index: Create latitude/longitude index

    • Drop Lat/Lon Index: Remove latitude/longitude index

    • Create H3 Index: Prepare an H3 aggregation dataset

    • Join to Spatial Dataset: Prepare a non-spatial dataset for map visualization by joining to a spatial dataset

    • Validate/Fix geometries: Validate the geometries in the dataset and also fixes the geometries where it is possible for Spatial Studio to do so in an automatic manner.

  • Delete: Delete the dataset
