Create an analysis to reveal relations and correlations among data by using the
Analytics toolbar. Alternatively, you can create
some types of simple analysis directly through a data item's Actions
menu.
Before you begin
You must create one or more boundary areas before you can
create an analysis.
About this task
An analysis collects data from specified categories that
are related to a particular boundary area and runs a selected analysis
on that data. An analysis can include a set of correlation rules to
be applied to the data. You can select the data to analyze, the boundary
area of interest, date and time, and the type of analysis.
- To reveal concentrations of data or events, choose a hotspot analysis.
- To apply greater or lesser weight to certain attributes and reveal
concentrations of data or events. choose a weighted hotspot analysis.
- To reveal deviations from expected data, choose an anomaly analysis.
- To reveal patterns or density of traffic that is based on GPS
data, choose a route tracking analysis.
- To track individuals or vehicles at selected dates and times,
choose a historical position tracking analysis.
- To prioritize action that is based on selected criteria, choose
a prioritized properties analysis.
- To compare statistics in a current period to the same statistics
in a previous period, choose a flexible reports analysis.
- To reveal relative density of data or events, choose a heat map
analysis.
The following procedure describes how to create an analysis by using the
Analytics feature that is on the taskbar. If you create an analysis by using
the Run Analytic option on a data item's Actions menu,
fewer options are available.
Procedure
- In the Analytics window,
click create and select the type of analysis to create.
- Hotspot
- Weighted Hotspot
- Anomaly
- Route Tracking by Frequency
- Historical Position Tracking
- Prioritized Properties
- Flexible Reports
- Heat Map
You can either create a new analysis, or copy an existing
analysis.
- On the General page, specify a name and description.
- On the When page, specify a time range, such as the last month, or specify
a beginning and ending date and time for the analysis. Ensure that the dates for the data that is being analyzed fall within the specified time
interval.
- On the Where page, select the area
to include in the analysis. You must have already created
the area.
- On the What page, select the data sources to include in the
analysis.
- Depending on the type of analysis that you created, more
parameters might be available on additional pages. For example, weighted hotspot analysis can include analytic details,
scoring, and grouping.
- On the Appearance page, select the
order for lists, time interval to display on the chart, the color
to display for each value or range, and whether to send an alert for
that value.
- On the Alerting page, choose whether
to be notified that analysis results are ready to view. You can choose to notify individuals users or groups.
- On the Scheduling page, choose whether
to schedule the analysis to run at specified intervals. Even though you scheduled the analysis to run at some future time
and date, the analysis will always run first when you click Save and Run.
- Click Save and Run. If
you change parameters and click Save and Run before the analysis is complete, the analysis that is running stops
and the new analysis runs.
- When the analysis is complete, you can choose to filter the results based on the location that
is specified on the filter's Where pane.
- Expand the pane that contains the analysis type that you want to view.
- Select the analysis to view.
- Click Map to view results on the
map, or List to view results details, or Report if a report was created.
- View the chart for another perspective on the analysis
results.
