3.6 Spatial Studio 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 "Figure 3-7 Datasets Page"

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.
• 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 Updating 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
    • 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

• About Creating a Dataset From the Datasets Page
  Spatial Studio allows you to create different types of datasets from the Datasets page.
• About Spatial Analysis Datasets
  Spatial Studio stores the results of a spatial analysis operation in a spatial analysis dataset. Also, storing selected geographic features or pins on a map layer gets saved as a new spatial analysis dataset.
• Datasets with Issues
  All datasets in Spatial Studio must meet certain data requirements in order to be used for map visualization and analysis.
• Geocoding a Dataset
  Geocoding is the process of deriving the latitude and longitude coordinates from location details that are geo address types.
• Reverse Geocoding a Dataset
  Reverse geocoding is the process of deriving the address information from a set of latitude and longitude coordinates.
• Preparing a Non-Spatial Dataset for Analysis
  Spatial Studio allows you to prepare a non-spatial dataset for mapping and analysis by joining to a spatial dataset.
• Exporting a Dataset to GeoJSON
  You can export a dataset from Spatial Studio to GeoJSON.
• Updating Statistics for Datasets
  The Update statistics feature in Spatial Studio gathers statistics of the dataset columns.
• About Cache in Spatial Studio
  Starting with Spatial Studio release 22.3, all vector tiles generated for all datasets are cached to the file system by default.
