Managing incident analytics

If you add data sources, configure the analytics to include that data in the incident analysis. You can set a schedule for each of the incident analytics, select the data to exclude, and select other properties to display.

Before you begin

Before you configure incident analytics, ensure that you are familiar with the contents and organization of your incident data sources, including the properties.

About this task

Incident analytics uses data from your configured data sources to provide useful information about incidents such as crime or traffic accidents in your city. You can schedule when each analytic runs, and select what data to include or exclude. If you want data from other data sources to be included in the analysis, you can add and configure properties from other data sources. For example, you might have data about vacant buildings or liquor store permits that might affect the location or timing of crimes.

An analytic factor is a property that is used as input data for an analytic. You can configure how each analytic factor is applied.

Procedure

To manage incident analytics:

  1. In the navigation menu, click Administration > Configuration Tools > Integrated Crime Analytics > Analytic Management.
  2. Click Create to add an analytic or select an analytic to edit.
  3. For each analytic, select a start time for when the analytic runs, and how often the analytic runs.
  4. For each analytic, select the boundary area type and ID.
  5. For each analytic, specify any data to exclude from the analytic. For example, you might exclude larceny or robbery if the database includes both minor and major crime. The displayed status of each analytic indicates whether the analytic is New, Waiting for another analytic to complete running, Training on new data, Applying changes, Completed, or Failed.
  6. Optional: Specify the targeted and all incident data sources, and the targeted incident type property, to be used for each analytic. If you do not specify values, the default values that are specified in the data source mapping configuration page are applied to the analytic.
