This module serves as the main repository for all the data including geospatial and non-spatial data layers uploaded from local systems and built-in data libraries for all projects and sessions. It includes two sub modules: My Data and Data Library.

Submodule: My Data

This submodule includes all the layers where you can create and manage spatial and non-spatial data from your local system in various formats.

There are four tabs on the left namely - All, Vector, Raster and Tabular. A catalog of layers of different data types is displayed beside the respective tabs. The following icons can be found on the top row above the section that contains layers:

  1. Upload - You can import all types of layers from the local system. Layers of each data type can be uploaded in specific file formats to a certain size limit.
  2. Create Layer - You can create your own data layer by defining Layer Type, Attribute, and Data Type.
    Restriction: This option is available for the Vector layers only.
  3. Group - You can organize layers by creating a group and adding layers of different data types by selecting respective radio button - Vector, Raster or Tabular. You can also rename, edit or delete the group.
  4. Export - You can export or download your data to local system in different formats such as formats such as GEOJSON, GPKG, SHP, TAB, DXF, KML and KMZ.
    Restriction: This option is not available for the Raster layers.
  5. Sort - This option allows you to sort the layers based on different criteria such as Last Modified Date or alphabetical sorting using Name (A-Z) or Name (Z-A). You can also sort based on geometry types such as Point, Polyline, or Polygon.
  6. Search Bar - Use search bar located under 'My Data' and 'Data Library' tabs to search for a specific dataset.

Note: For more information, see Exploring Data.

For each layer, there is a vertical ellipsis placed for the list of actions such as:

  • Preview - Explore metadata and the attribute table of the map session layer.
  • Use in a Map Session - Allows you to add the layer to an existing map session. You can also create a new map session while adding your layer.
  • Rename - Modify the name of the layer.
  • Edit Attributes - Modify the name and label of an attribute. Furthermore, you can also hide or show specific attributes if they should not be visible on the map session or while publishing. You can add new attributes as well. Editing the attributes may reset the map styles in the sessions where this layer is used in active map session.
  • Export - Download the layer in formats such as SHP, TAB - NATIVE and NATIVEX, GEOJSON, GPKG, DXF, KML, and CSV can be downloaded from Vector tab on the left navigation pane. After processing, the layer is available in the Notification popup that appears at the top right corner of the Dashboard.
    Restriction: Raster images cannot be downloaded through the interface.
  • Download - Download the layer in formats such as XLS, XLSX, and CSV can be downloaded from Tabular tab on the left navigation pane. After processing, the layer is available in the Notification popup that appears at the top right corner of the Dashboard.
  • Delete - This option allows you to delete the layer permanently.

Submodule: Data Library

The Data Library is provided for your convenience with a catalog of datasets categorized into a number of regions, data types and respective geometries.

By clicking on the vertical ellipsis, you can do one of these actions for each individual dataset.

  1. Preview - You can view metadata and examine the attribute table.
  2. Add to My Data - You can add any layer into 'My Data'.
  3. Use in a Map Session - You can add the layers to the existing map session or create a new session. The application redirects to a new session if you click Create New button.
  4. Join My Data - You can join the uploaded data layer with existing tabular and vector data layers. The final output can be added to the existing map session or to a new map session.
