Map

This section covers the map controls, spatial information and shape filter in the data visualisation feature.

note

Our map layers are retrieved and updated monthly from SLA Geospace.

Map controls​

  • Pan: To pan, click and drag the map to your desired location
  • Zoom: To zoom, either:
    • Scroll while placing your cursor on the map or
    • Use the zoom controls at the top right corner of the screen
  • Clusters: Hover over or click on the clusters to view more information on the cluster
  • Location Search: Input a location in the location searchbar and zoom into the specified location

Location Search

Clusters​

The data points from the layers created will be represented on the map as clusters.

caution

There needs to be at least 1 filter for clusters to be made available for previewing.

Cluster layout​

The cluster layout consists of 2 parts:

  1. The outer coloured ring provides information on which layers' data points are contained within a particular cluster. The colours here correspond to the layers.
  2. The inner circle indicates number of accounts contained within this cluster.
caution

If the same postal code is in 2 different data visualisation layers in a cluster, the number of accounts will be counted twice

Cluster composition info​

The cluster composition info popup will be displayed when hovering over a cluster:

Cluster Composition Info

In the popup, users can view a breakdown of how many accounts are contained within a cluster and from which data visualisation layer they came from.

Geospatial information on cluster​

There are 2 ways to obtain more geospatial information on the data points in a cluster

Buildings and estates origin​

Hover over a cluster to view which buildings and/or estates its data points are from. The relevant buildings and/or estates will be highlighted as follows:

Cluster Highlight

Unable to see highlighting?

If the building and estates highlighting is not visible, zoom in until the buildings are rendered on the map.

Postal codes​

To view which postal codes a cluster's data points are from:

  1. Zoom into the map until max level (At max level, '+' icon button on top right corner of the map is greyed out)
  2. Hover over the cluster of interest, the postal code(s) will be displayed as follows

Cluster Postal Codes

Shapes​

The shape filter is a geospatial layer filter that retrieves data points within a user-defined region.

To understand the mechanics of shape drawing and editing, you can refer to this guide.
