Prerequisites
The following prerequisites should be met before starting this tutorial:
- Parts of this tutorial are a continuation of the Template Project Tutorial. If possible, and if you have not already done so, please complete that tutorial first. If you have not yet followed the tutorials related to those subjects please do so first.
- This tutorial can best be started with a Project in the city of The Hague in the Netherlands, due to one of the used data sources being specific to that city. Note that multiple new Projects will be created during this tutorial.
- To work with Project templating functionality fully (specifically, to assign Template status to a Project), either Domain Admin access rights are required, or the assistance of a Domain Admin for your organisation is required.
Preparations
Take the following steps as preparation for following this tutorial:
- Start the Tygron Platform application, and if necessary log in so you are in the main menu.
Introduction to Geo Plugins
The Tygron Platform allows for the importing of geo data to enrich a Project. This can serve to both amend data which the Tygron Platform already supplies, but also to add types of data which are unique to the use-case at hand. When importing data, almost all of the related operations are to determine precisely how the imported data relates to the potential data types and subtypes available in a Tygron Platform Project.
Geo Plugins offer a way to store such a mapping, so that import operations can be easily repeated. In them, information is stored about which data can be found in the relevant data source, and how that data should be interpreted or modified when it is imported. They can then be used when manually importing data, but can also be called upon when a new Project is created to automatically obtain data relevant for the use-case and models the Template Project entails.
Creating a Project to create Geo Plugins in
Any Project may contain any number of Geo Plugins. However, for the purpose of this tutorial a Project in a specific location is required, due to some of the steps relying on a datasource which has data only in a specific region.
Tutorial completed
Congratulations. You have now completed this tutorial. In it, you have learned how to create Geo Plugins and use them to automatically map geo data, and use them to automatically retrieve data when using your Project as a Template to create a new Project.
