3.6.6.4 Configuring Spatiotemporal for Non-Live and Non-Moving Objects Dataset

Perform the following steps to configure spatiotemporal for a dataset containing non-moving objects with different timestamp values. 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 3-26 Enabling Spatiotemporal for Standard Filtering Datasets

    Description of Figure 3-26 follows
    Description of "Figure 3-26 Enabling Spatiotemporal for Standard Filtering Datasets"
  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 OFF Data is live.
  7. Switch OFF Moving objects.
  8. Select the Time Unit.
    The data will be filtered as per the selected time unit.

    Also, note that the filtering is applied at the dataset level. This implies that all the layers created out of this dataset will have the same filtering when added to the timeline.

  9. Click Apply.
Your dataset is now enabled for spatiotemporal data visualization.
