Datasets

Information

This menu is only available to users with the roles: Admin or SuperUser.

Creating, modifying, and deleting datasets​

Datasets are created based on data sources. Multiple data sources can be grouped into a single dataset, which is displayed as one layer in the viewer.

The dataset overview shows:

  • Name
  • Type
  • Source type
  • Creation date
warning

A dataset may appear empty if its linked data sources were removed.

Verify whether associated data sources were automatically deleted after removing a data conversion task.

Two dataset types are available:

1. Dataset with data sources​

  • Combination of individual data sources.
  • Each dataset is displayed as a separate layer in a project.
  • Source type: Data sources.

2. Virtual dataset​

  • Combination of existing datasets of the same type.
  • Requires previously created datasets.
  • Designed for future timeline filtering.
  • Displayed as a single layer but may contain multiple acquisition years.
  • Source type: Virtual dataset.

Creating a new dataset

Click + Create new dataset (top right).

Create new dataset

Creation follows a step-by-step workflow.

Step 1 – Select dataset type​

Choose the dataset type. Only matching data sources will be shown in later steps.

Available types:

  • Aerial images
  • Panorama images
  • Point clouds
  • 3D Tiles (3D models)
  • OGC API Features

Step 1 – Dataset type

Step 2 – Select mode​

Choose one of the following:

Dataset with data sources​

Standard dataset based on data sources.

Step 2 – Data sources mode

Virtual dataset​

Combination of existing datasets.

Step 2 – Virtual dataset mode

Step 3 – Basic information​

Dataset with data sources​

  • Enter dataset name (visible in the viewer layer menu).
  • Optionally define a validity period.
    This will support timeline-based switching between acquisition moments.

Step 3 – Basic information (data sources)

Virtual dataset​

  • Enter dataset name (visible in the viewer layer menu).

Step 3 – Basic information (virtual dataset)

Step 4 – Select items​

Dataset with data sources​

Select and add relevant data sources.

Examples:

  • Point clouds → multiple point cloud sources
  • Aerial or panorama images → multiple image sources
  • 3D Tiles → multiple 3D model sources
  • OGC API Features → multiple feature sources

Step 4 – Select data sources

Virtual dataset​

Select existing datasets of the same type.

Step 4 – Select datasets

Step 5 – Review and save​

Verify all settings and click Save.

Step 5 – Review and save

Modifying a dataset

Editing a dataset opens a single configuration menu.

Dataset – Source type: Data sources​

Possible changes:

  • Modify name
  • Modify validity period
  • Update linked data sources
    • Pencil icon → add data sources
    • Trash icon → remove all linked sources
    • Apply optional filter
    • Remove individual sources via action icon

Edit dataset (data sources)

Dataset – Source type: Virtual dataset​

Possible changes:

  • Modify name
  • Update linked datasets
    • Pencil icon → add datasets
    • Trash icon → remove all linked datasets
    • Apply optional filter
