Working with Geospatial Analysis Results

When a Geospatial Analysis has completed, you can view the analysis results, either from the Results pane or from the Activity Monitor (using the View Analysis Result button on the ribbon). The results depend on how you configured the analysis. This topic describes each display mode and provides an overview of the process.

Since Geospatial Analysis results are deterministic, you should view them by one accumulator at a time. AIR recommends that you run a Geospatial Analysis with one accumulator (event, zone set, boundary, or ring) at a time. If you run the analysis with multiple accumulators, AIR recommends that you view the results through the Accumulation Display rather than through the Interactive Browser. However, if you want to run an analysis with multiple accumulators and you want to view the results through the Interactive Browser, make sure that you include the accumulator name as either a row, column, or filter when you create an advanced widget to view the results. If you do not include the accumulator name, the widget display may make it appear that the values are being double counted because of locations that fall in more than one accumulator.

Interactive Browser mode

When the Enable Dynamic Results option is selected during configuration and you open the analysis results, by default Touchstone displays the map in the Interactive Browser mode with the Analysis Summary widget. The menu bar includes two tabs—Results (Spatial) and Map Tools (Mapping)—that enable you to work with the analysis results and with the map. The Spatial ribbon on the Results tab enables you to perform spatial analytics operations on the results. You can switch between the Accumulation Display and Interactive Browser modes.

If you ran a Dynamic Ring analysis, this mode does not display the dynamic rings.

If you ran a Workers' Compensation analysis, the Analysis Summary will include the Total Employees value instead of the Total Replacement value that is displayed for a Property Exposure analysis. In addition, the Analysis Summary widget will contain exposure values appropriate to the type of analysis, such as Day Shift Employees for a Workers' Compensation analysis.

If the exposure view contains both property and workers' compensation data:

       The total risk count displayed in the results grid will not match the values shown in the Exposure Summary. Instead, the values in the results grid will reflect the total counts of exposures that matched the type of analysis.

       If you run a Property Exposure analysis, property values, such as TRV, are displayed while workers' compensation data, such as employee count, is not displayed. If you run a Workers' Compensation analysis, workers' compensation values, such as employee count, is displayed, while property values, such as TRV are not displayed.

       Exported results include only the data for the type of analysis that you ran, and exposure clusters in the results include only property exposure or workers' compensation exposure counts, but not both.

Accumulation Display mode

When the Enable Dynamic Results option is not selected during configuration, the Interactive Browser mode is not available and Touchstone displays only the accumulation results (in a grid). The contents of the results grid depend on the configuration, for example:

       In a regular ring analysis, the top grid might display the top 1,000 risks by total replacement values while the bottom grid displays the damage ranges.

       In a Dynamic Ring analysis for property exposures, the top grid displays the location-based ring results, including, for each dynamic ring, latitude and longitude, the selected financial perspectives, total replacement value, risk and location counts, and peril. When you select a dynamic ring, the Damage Ranges grid displays the associated damage band information.

       In a Workers' Compensation ring analysis, the top grid might display the landmark-based ring results, including, for each ring, address information, geocode match level, latitude and longitude, total insured employees, day shift employees, evening shift employees, night shift employees, risk and location counts, and peril. The bottom grid displays the damage bands, such as a ring with a radius of 500 feet that includes 326 insured employees, 355 day shift employees, 181 evening shift employees, and 7 night shift employees.

For a Property Exposure analysis, if you select the Exposed Limits option during configuration, the Geospatial Analytics Results ribbon includes a Perspectives group and the analysis results for each selected perspective are included in the grids. You can clear the results for a perspective by clicking the perspective.

The View Options window, which is available in the sidebar, enables you to view a map of the accumulation results and view the results by Contributing Contacts, Contributing Layers, and Contributing Locations. You can resize the windows and adjust the layout of the content items.

Process Overview

To view Geospatial Analysis results:

1.     Access the results grid for your project.

2.     Highlight the analysis whose results you want to view. Make sure that the activity status is "Completed".

3.     Click the name of the completed analysis or click Open on the grid toolbar.

4.     Click here for information about the spatial analysis functions you can perform (availability depends on the analysis configuration).
