Overview

Urbi Pro service provides several data visualization methods:

• Point
• Grid
• Hexbin
• Heatmap
• Buildings
• Contour
• Cluster
• H3
• Line
• Polygon

For each layer, you can customize the visualization in different ways, even if the layers are created from the same data sample. Different settings are available for each visualization method. You can change the layer visualization at any time.

Getting started

1. Go to the Dashboards tab.
2. Open the required dashboard.
3. Open a scene using the arrows and . If there is only one scene in the dashboard, it opens automatically when you open the dashboard.
4. To open the layer, click icon and select the required layer.
5. In the General settings block, select a visualization method.
6. Set the remaining visualization parameters if necessary. See parameter lists in the description of each visualization method, e.g., Point.

The data is visualized on the dashboard scene.

Viewing element information

To view information about a visualization element (point, grid cell, hexbin, etc.) on the map, use the following methods:

• Click the element on the map. The opened pane displays:

  • Layer data tab: information about the layer within the selected visualization element (statistics and result list).

    

  • On map tab: information about a particular element on the map: organization, building, street, etc.

    

• Hover the cursor over the element. A tooltip with a short description of the element appears. The tooltip displays:

  • The list of data attributes and their values.

    You can configure the list of attributes, their order, and the aggregation type (only for numeric attributes): see more in the Configuring a tooltip section.

    

  • The color of the visualization element and the color aggregation type (the function used to aggregate attribute values located in one visualization element).

    You can select a data attribute for coloring the element using the Color basis parameter for any visualization method and the color aggregation type using the Color aggregation type parameter (only for Grid, Hexbin, Buildings, Contour, Cluster, and H3 visualization methods).

    

Configuring a tooltip

When configuring the layer visualization, you can customize the tooltip by specifying:

• The list of data attributes in the tooltip and their order. You can configure the list for one layer or for multiple layers at once (only for datasets uploaded as a file).

  Configuring the attribute list is available for layers with Point, Grid, Hexbin, Buildings, Contour, Cluster, H3, Line, and Polygon visualization methods.

• The attribute aggregation type (only for numeric attributes): the function used to aggregate attribute values located in one visualization element.

  Configuring the attribute aggregation type is available for layers with Grid, Hexbin, Buildings, Contour, Cluster, and H3 visualization methods.

For one layer

1. Go to the Dashboards tab.

2. Open the required dashboard.

3. Open a scene using the arrows and . If there is only one scene in the dashboard, it opens automatically when you open the dashboard.

4. To open the layer, click the icon and select the required layer.

5. Enable the Tooltip setup option. If the option is disabled, the tooltip displays all attributes from the dataset.

6. Configure the tooltip:

   • Select the attributes to be displayed in the tooltip of the element. Available values depend on the data in the sample.

   • To change the order of attributes in the tooltip, drag the attribute to the required position in the list.

   • To change the attribute aggregation type (only for numeric attributes), click icon next to the required attribute and select the aggregation type from the list:

     • Sum - the sum of the values.
     • Mean - the mean value.
     • Median - the median value that is equal to or greater than 50% of the values in the group.
     • Minimum - the minimum value.
     • Maximum - the maximum value.
   
   

For all layers from one dataset

You can configure the attribute list in the tooltip for all layers created from a dataset uploaded as a file. All layers created from the dataset will use these settings by default.

1. Go to the Data tab.

2. On the required dataset card, click icon and select Edit.

3. Enable the Tooltip setup option. If the option is disabled, the tooltip displays all attributes from the dataset. The attributes are displayed in the order that was specified during upload.

4. Configure the tooltip:

   • Select the attributes to be displayed in the tooltip of the element. Available values depend on the data in the sample.
   • To change the order of attributes in the tooltip, drag the attribute to the required position in the list.
   
   

5. In the Tooltip field to the right of the attribute list, check how the tooltip will be displayed. Click Apply.
