Filtering Widgets by Shape

In Interactive Browser results mode, you can filter chart and table widgets by one or more shapes. Drawing tools, which are available only when you license Geospatial Analysis, enable you to draw shapes, save them, and use them on Touchstone maps.

Procedure

To filter by shape:

  1. On the map, Zoom in close on the area where you want to draw a shape.
  2. Under Project Layers, clear the Clustered Points layer.

    Since clusters provide a generalized, low-resolution view of the underlying exposures, and polygons and ellipses are more precise, you will be able to draw a more accurate shape without the Clustered Points layer.

  3. Click Filter by Shapes.

    The Analysis Summary will not display any data, but will be filled with data after you draw a shape on the map. Move the Analysis Summary away from the targeted area.

  4. Open Drawing Tools and then click the shape you want to use.

    Draw a polygon by clicking points on the map until the polygon shape includes the exposures for which you want to view the analysis summary. Then double-click to stop drawing the shape.

    The Analysis Summary reflects the values for the exposures that fall within the shape.

  5. To return to regular selection mode, click the Select Shape icon (a pointer) in the Drawing Tools pane.
