Layers management

Urbi Pro service allows you to save data samples as a group of layers. Each layer in a layer group can contain different types of data.

You can work with layers within a Layer group. You can add and remove layers, change the visualization of data for each layer. The number of available layers depends on the tariff.

Creating a new layer

There are several ways to create a new layer:

Working with data

1. Go to the Main or Data tab.

2. Select the prepared data category or uploaded data.

3. Specify the Territory.

4. If you selected the uploaded data that contains geometries of the line or polygon type, you can select the data display method on the Filters tab:

   • Points: visualization as centroid points (the centers of the object geometries).
   • Geometries: visualization of the real data geometries (lines or polygons).

5. Set the remaining filter parameters if necessary.

6. Click Create layer.

7. Enter the layer name and press Enter.

8. Select where to add the layer: to an existing group or create a new one.

9. Click Create.

More information about working with data on the Data page.

On the Layers tab

   • Points: visualization as centroid points (the centers of the object geometries).
   • Geometries: visualization of the real data geometries (lines or polygons).

6. Set the remaining filter parameters if necessary.

7. Click Create layer.

8. Enter the layer name and press Enter.

The layer will be added to the new layer group.

Working with a layer group

1. Go to the Layers tab.

2. Select the necessary layer group or click New layer group.

3. In the layer group, click Add layer.

4. Select the data category.

5. Specify the Territory.

6. If you selected the uploaded data that contains geometries of the line or polygon type, you can select the data display method on the Filters tab:

   • Points: visualization as centroid points (the centers of the object geometries).
   • Geometries: visualization of the real data geometries (lines or polygons).

7. Set the remaining filter parameters if necessary.

8. Click Create layer.

9. Enter layer name and press Enter.

Operations with layers

Getting information about layers

1. Select the layer group.
2. Select the necessary layer.

Information about the layer and visualization methods will be displayed on the next tab. More information on the Visualization page.

Editing a layer

1. Select the layer group.

2. Select the necessary layer.

3. Click Edit dataset on the right tab.

4. Make changes.

5. To finish editing, click one of the buttons:

   • Update layer: all changes will be saved, and the layer will be updated.
   • Create layer: a new layer will be created in the same layer group.
   • Back to layer: return to the layer group. The changes will not be saved.

More information on the Modifying results page.

Hiding a layer

1. Select the layer group.

2. Change the visibility of the layer in one of the following ways:

   • Click icon next to the necessary layer.
   • Click icon next to the necessary layer and select Hide.

Duplicating a layer

1. Select the layer group.
2. Click icon next to the necessary layer and select Duplicate.

A group can have only one layer with the Buildings display method. When a layer of this type is duplicated, a new copy will have Point display method.

Renaming a layer

1. Select the layer group.

2. Rename the layer in one of the following ways:

   • Double-click the necessary layer name.
   • Click icon next to the necessary layer and select Rename.

Moving a layer

1. Select the layer group.
2. Drag the layer to the necessary place in the list.

Deleting a layer

1. Select the layer group.
2. Click icon next to the necessary layer and select Delete.
3. Confirm the deletion by clicking Delete.
