3.6.6.1 Configuring Spatiotemporal for Live Moving Objects Dataset

Perform the following steps to configure spatiotemporal for a live dataset with moving objects. The instructions assume that such a dataset is already existing in your database schema.
  1. Navigate to the Datasets page.
  2. Right-click on the required spatiotemporal dataset and click Properties.
    The Dataset Properties dialog opens.
  3. Click the Spatiotemporal tab.

    The following dialog is displayed:

    Figure 3-24 Enabling Spatiotemporal for a Dataset

    Description of Figure 3-24 follows
    Description of "Figure 3-24 Enabling Spatiotemporal for a Dataset"
  4. Switch ON Enable Spatiotemporal.
  5. Select the Timestamp (or Date) Column.
    • Both date-type and timestamp-type columns are supported.
    • If using a timestamp-type column, then note that Spatial Studio supports only UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) or GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) time zone for visualizing moving objects.
  6. Switch ON Data is live.
  7. Switch ON Moving objects.
  8. Select the Entity ID Column that identifies a set of unique entities.
    The Entity ID Column is not a unique column as each entity can have many recordings of its locations in the same table.
  9. Specify Data Change Rate to indicate the approximate frequency of the live feed updates in the table.
  10. Optionally, select the Altitude Column for Cesium Map Visualization only.
  11. Click Apply.
Your dataset is now enabled for spatiotemporal data visualization.
