Why preparing data?

Preparing data is useful when you have datasets available which you always use and need in your projects. For example, if you take the MKP of the Province of Utrecht. For their indicators and alerts to work, they need to import into every new project a lot of their datasets. It can save a lot of time if you prepare these datasets once and then easily import them into every new project. Read below for some considerations on various topics and apply the ones useful for you.

Attributes

Text attributes

Since the Tygron Platform can only import numerical attributes, it might be convenient to already look at the data to see if there are any text values you want to use later on in for example a indicator or to show in an overlay. If you would like to use these text attributes, consider a mapping from text to numbers. See below for an example

Naming of the data

Extra attributes

It also might be convenient to add an extra attribute to your data.

Legend and colors

kleurcodes
