Clusters

edit

Clusters use Geotile grid aggregation or Geohex grid aggregation to group your documents into grids. You can calculate metrics for each gridded cell.

Symbolize cluster metrics as:

Clusters
Uses Geotile grid aggregation to group your documents into grids. Creates a vector layer with a cluster symbol for each gridded cell. The cluster location is the weighted centroid for all documents in the gridded cell.
Grids
Uses Geotile grid aggregation to group your documents into grids. Creates a vector layer with a bounding box polygon for each gridded cell.
Heat map
Uses Geotile grid aggregation to group your documents into grids. Creates a heat map layer that clusters the weighted centroids for each gridded cell.
Hexbins
Uses Geohex grid aggregation to group your documents into H3 hexagon grids. Creates a vector layer with a hexagon polygon for each gridded cell.

To enable a clusters layer:

  1. Click Add layer, then select the Clusters or Heat map layer.

To enable a blended layer that dynamically shows clusters or documents:

  1. Click Add layer, then select the Documents layer.
  2. Configure Data view and the Geospatial field.
  3. In Scaling, select Show clusters when results exceed 10000.
