The Dashboard Application offers users an accessible and visually appealing interface for browsing and analyzing varied datasets using interactive visualizations.
The dashboard provides access to a range of functions such as weather forecasts, time series, scatter plots, point and line graphs, and trajectory displays. It allows for faster load times and smoother user interactions, benefiting the overall experience for users.
The dashboard visualizes data from the datasets on top of a basemap. For zooming hover the mouse on map and the buttons in the top right corner will show up or the zooming function of your computer mouse.In the upper left corner a corresponding legend to the mapped collection is available.
To view different/single collections on map using legend double-click on one of
collection in the legend and only that collection will be shown on map amd other
will be disbaled. Similary to get back all the collection points on map then again
double on earlier selected collection.
To change the map theme click on the Settings button symbol. Carto Positron is
default map theme applied.
An individual dashboard can have different collections which you can select
via the drop-down menu Collection. If you choose a collection, the graphs will update
to display the correct data for that selection.
If more than one variable is available within a selected collection,
you may change the variable by using the drop-down menu Variable on the right side
of dashboard in visualization area.
To view data for certain time periods, use the Time range option at the top of the
graph. This will allow you to view selective data for the specified variable. The
Time Slider at the bottom of the graph allows for seeing various periods of data by
moving it left or right.
The visualisation depends on the data in collection and use case so for some collections the visualisation will be different like line plot and point plot.
If more than one cruise is available within a selected collection,
you may change the cruise by using the drop-down menu Cruise on the right side
of dashboard in visualization area.
If more than one station is available within a selected cruise,
you may change the station by using the drop-down menu Station on the right side
of dashboard for scatter point plot graph in visualization area.
The selected station from the dropdown will be highlighted on the map to get an idea about the station location.
To adjust the variables displayed on the scatter plot, use the 'X-Var' drop-down menu located on the right side of the dashboard above point plot. This menu allows you to select the variable you want to display on the X-axis. Once you make a selection, the scatter plot will automatically update to reflect the new comparison.
Similarly, for y variable select a variable from dropdown Y-Var on the right side
of dashboard above point plot graph.
When hovering over the on graph area on right side of the dashboard, the menu for graph appears. Download the graph as PNG by clicking on the camera button. The axis can be zoomed in using zoom functionality. Zoom button are provided to zoom in and out on the graph.
