3.10.2.3.1 Preparing an H3 Aggregation Dataset

You can prepare an H3 aggregation dataset by performing the following steps.

The instructions assume that a dataset containing geometric data columns is already loaded to Spatial Studio.

1. Navigate to the Datasets page.
   All the datasets loaded to Spatial Studio are shown listed on this page.
2. Select the required dataset name and right-click to open the context menu.
3. Click Create H3 Index on the Prepare submenu.
   The Creating H3 Index dialog opens as shown:

   Figure 3-47 Creating an H3 Aggregation Dataset

   
   Description of "Figure 3-47 Creating an H3 Aggregation Dataset"
4. Select the Geometry Column for H3 aggregations.
5. Click a Summarize using option.
   The values for summarizing are:

   • Count: buckets the number of datapoints in each hexagon
   • Sum: adds up the values for a specific column in the data set, for all the points that fall in a specific hexagon
6. Select the Column to sum, if you have chosen Sum to summarize your dataset. Otherwise, you can skip this step.
7. Optionally, modify the H3 Index Name.
8. Click OK.
   An H3 aggregation dataset is created and added as a new row in the Datasets page.
