You can visualize a spatiotemporal dataset having ongoing inserts of real-time data, but the locations of the data entities do not change.

1. Click the Visualizations tab on the left pane in the Active Project page.
   This lists the various visualization options.
2. Click and drag Map from the list to the visualization window on the right to create a map visualization.
   A default base map is displayed with no data visualization layers.
3. Click the Data tab on the left pane in the Active Project page.
   This lists all the Datasets that are loaded for the project.
4. Click and drag the desired spatiotemporal dataset from the list to the map view on the right.
   Two map layers belonging to the dataset are created on the map.
5. Click the Settings icon in your map tool bar.
6. Switch ON the Show timeline toggle and click OK.
   The Cesium Timeline widget appears at the bottom of the map visualization canvas. However, the timeline is not operational at this step.
7. Click against the primary layer in the Data tab of the Layers list and click Add to Timeline.
8. Select Configure Animation from the context menu of the map layer.
9. Switch ON Animate layer based on automatic dataset refresh.
   The dataset animates with the Cesium clock events.
10. Specify Time between auto refreshes to indicate the frequency of data refresh from the backend. This configuration also determines the smoothness and speed of the temporal animation.
    Also, note the following:

    • Spatial Studio displays a default frequency value which is same as the Data Change Rate value configured on the Spatiotemporal dataset used for the visualization.
    • Only one dataset layer for the geometry animates (attributes change) as per the Cesium clock's current time (which points to the present UTC time value) and the multiplier value (default is 1x). Since the dataset is a streaming entity it will not have data ahead of time. Hence you must not change the default Cesium clock values. If you expect the data to be updated every x minutes, then configure Time between auto refreshes to x minutes, but do not change the Cesium timeline range or the multiplier value.
11. Select Zoom Timeline to Range in the context menu of the map layer to make the timeline reset to current clock time and a 1x multiplier.
    Upon reaching the set end time, the timeline will keep moving ahead and will not loop back.
12. Optionally, select Remove from Timeline in the context menu of the map layer if you wish the map layer to stop listening to the Cesium timeline.
