Using Data Layers in the Site

Pointscene groups data by either Date or Type. For the Date selection you can open the Advanced filters and set any date range that you prefer to rule in or out different data sets.

Date view

In Date view all of the files are sorted by their user given dates. Ungrouped folder includes any raster dataset, e.g. a DWG file that is converted to GeoTIFF. Added WMS layers are also in this folder. Notes, photos & assets includes notes, photos, 360 images and assets such as traffic signs.

Type view

In Type view the data is sorted by the type of data in to folders. Folders are based on your data, so you will only see folders of data types in your site. Some data types are view only and can not be shared.
