You can access the list of all current map sessions in the dashboard by selecting the Map Session component on the top navigation bar. Click on Create New Session button, at the center of the page to start rendering map session.
A new page is created which includes an untitled session with navigation tools, a working area, and a panel for adding or modifying data layers. When a layer is selected, a panel containing styling tools designed for customized visualization appears.
- Working Area or Map Screen - This is where you can visualize the geospatial and non-spatial data uploaded either from a local system or from the data library.
- Map Control Menu - A toolbar on the bottom right corner of the map session is used to explore the map session layer to access features like records for an area of interest or distance between two points.
- Panel - All data upload, modification, and analysis in the working area is
managed by the working panel on the left side. Any changes introduced and saved in
this panel are automatically reflected in the session. There are two main components
in this section:
Layers - This panel is used to add layers and perform various types of operations on it. The dataset used within this layer can be uploaded from a local system or selected from the built-in data library.
Multiple layers can also be added in a single session. Once the layers are added, you can arrange them as required by drag and drop method. Certain components like group, duplicate, hide and lock are provided to organize and maintain the layers in a session.
The Styling panel allows you to customize how the map session layers are rendered in the working area.
- Tools - This panel is used to perform operations on the map session
layer to gain analytical insights. It consists of the three components
listed below:
- Feature Editing - You can select a layer from the map session to implement attribute changes or updates.
- Vector Processing - You can perform a list of operations such as spatial analysis, geometry, grid, table join, network analysis and statistical analysis on the selected data. Each option provides an extension of subprocesses as well.
