3.6.2 About Spatial Analysis Datasets

Spatial Studio stores the results of a spatial analysis operation in a spatial analysis dataset. Also, storing selected geographic features or pins on a map layer gets saved as a new spatial analysis dataset.

When you perform any new spatial analysis operation (such as filtering, combining, transforming existing datasets, and so on) against a data source in map visualization, the results of the analysis are generated into a spatial analysis dataset. Similarly, when you store selected geographic locations or pins on a map layer, the spatial data gets stored as spatial analysis datasets. These datasets get instantly added to the map visualization project and appear under Analysis in the Active Project page. You can also view these datasets on the Datasets page.

3.6.2.1 Saving Selected Features on a Map Into a Dataset

You can save selected features on a map layer into a new spatial analysis dataset.

The following steps enable you to save selected features on a map layer into a dataset.

The instructions assume that you have a project opened on your Active Project page.
  1. Select the required features to be saved to the dataset.
    If you are using a Windows system, you can select multiple features using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Click.
  2. Click the Actions icon on the map tool bar.
  3. Select Save Selections from the drop-down menu.

    Description of Figure 3-28 follows
    Description of "Figure 3-28 Saving Selections"

    The Save selections dialog opens.

  4. Enter the Analysis name.
  5. Select the required columns from the Save Selections From drop-down list.
  6. Click Run.

    The new (analysis) dataset containing the saved selections is created and gets listed under Analyses on the left pane in the Active Project page. It also appears on the table in the Datasets page.

  7. Verify the selection, by dragging and dropping the analysis dataset on the map view.
    You can now view only selected features on the map layer:

3.6.2.2 Saving Pins on a Map Into a Dataset

You can save all the pins that you dropped on a map layer into a spatial analysis dataset.

This dataset containing the stored pins can later be used in various spatial analyses.

The following steps enable you to save multiple pins on a map layer into a dataset.

The instructions assume that you have a project opened on your Active Project page and the map layer displayed for visualization contains multiple pins.
  1. Click the Actions icon on the map tool bar.
  2. Select Save Pins from the drop-down menu.

    Figure 3-30 Saving Pins on a Map Layer

    Description of Figure 3-30 follows
    Description of "Figure 3-30 Saving Pins on a Map Layer"

    The Save pinned places dialog opens.

  3. Enter the Analysis name.
  4. Select the required Connection for saving the dataset.
  5. Click Run.

    The new dataset containing the pins is created and gets listed under Analyses on the left pane in the Active Project page. It also appears on the table in the Datasets page.

  6. Verify the saved pins, by dragging and dropping the analysis dataset on the map view.

    The saved pins are displayed as points and not as a pin location on the map layer. This is because the pins get saved to a regular point type dataset. You can now perform various spatial analyses on the map using this dataset layer.
