Analytics Panel

The Analytics panel is a configurable dashboard that sits alongside the 3D map. Use it to visualise statistics from your project layers as charts, tables, and summary metrics — all updating dynamically as you interact with the map.

Open it by clicking Analytics in the toolbar (chart/dashboard icon).


Widgets

The analytics panel is made up of widgets — individual chart or table cards that each display a specific analysis. You can add as many widgets as you need and arrange them freely on the dashboard.

Adding a widget

  1. Click + Add widget in the Analytics panel header.
  2. Select a chart type (see chart types below).
  3. Choose a data source — either a layer from your project, or an external live source.
  4. Select the category field (the attribute to group by, e.g. building type, land use).
  5. Optionally select a value field (for sum, average, min, or max aggregations).
  6. Choose an aggregation (count, sum, avg, min, max).
  7. A live preview appears as you configure the widget.
  8. Click Add.

Arranging widgets

  • Move — drag the widget by its title bar handle
  • Resize — drag the resize handle at the bottom-right corner
  • Widgets snap to a grid and compact vertically automatically

Removing widgets

Click the × on a widget card to remove it from the panel.

Clearing all widgets

Click the trash icon in the panel header. A confirmation prompt appears — click again within 3 seconds to confirm. All widgets are removed.


Chart types

TypeBest for
BarComparing values across categories
LineTrends over ordered categories (e.g. time, distance)
AreaSimilar to line but fills the area below — good for cumulative values
PieProportional breakdown of a small number of categories
DonutSame as pie with a centre cutout
ScatterRelationship between two numeric fields
StatSummary statistics — count, min, max, average, sum for a field
TableFull attribute table view with all columns

Data sources

Project layers

Select any layer that has an attribute schema (GeoJSON, shapefile, ArcGIS Feature Server, and other vector layers). The analysis runs on the features currently loaded in the layer, including any active filters.

External sources

Select External to analyse live data from sources outside your project. External sources are fetched for the area currently visible in the viewport — the data updates when you move the map.

Available external sources depend on your AugmentCity installation. Common examples include public building registers, cadastral data, and statistical datasets.


Type in the search bar to filter widgets and highlight matching values on the map. For example, searching for a category name (e.g. "residential") will:

  • Show only widgets that contain that value
  • Highlight the matching features on the 3D globe if exactly one category matches

Exporting

Click the download icon in the panel header to export the current analytics panel as a PDF report. The export:

  • Includes all widgets in their current layout order
  • Adds the project name, active scenario name, and a timestamp
  • Is a multi-page PDF if there are more widgets than fit on one page
note

The PDF export is disabled when a search filter is active. Clear the search first.


Saving in scenarios

The analytics panel layout — which widgets are present, their configurations, and whether the panel is open — is saved in scenario snapshots. Switching scenarios restores the full analytics state.
