Updating Analyses

Once executed, analysis can be altered and updated according to your needs. You can freely change the parameters set for the analysis and can immediately see the updated results on the map and/or data window.

To update an analysis:

  1. Go to the Analyses tab.
  2. From the first drop-down list, select an analysis to update. This list is populated with all executed analyses. (In case no analyses have been performed so far, only the Create new option will be available.)

    GP_USR_Updating Analyses_PULL

    All fields for the Analyses dialog box are populated with values used for earlier performed and selected analyses.

  3. Alter the required parameter values for the selected analysis. You can also change the parameter used for a given analysis and change the display style and name if needed. To clear all fields, click Clear.
  4. Having provided all changes to the analysis definition, click Update. Results of the analysis will be updated according to the set parameters and their values. In Map Content, the entry for an altered analysis will remain unchanged (except for the pictogram and the layer name provided that modified).

Deleting an Analysis:

All executed analyses are kept in Geospatial Portal (unless you refresh the application) and can be modified and/or displayed later, even if they were earlier removed from the Map Content and/or Data Window.

Analyses that are no longer needed can be deleted permanently. In order to do this, select the analysis to be removed, and click Delete on the bottom of the dialog box.

light_bulb_icon The Delete button is available on the form only if an analysis is selected from the list.
