Explanation of the basic Aurora script presented in this guide

...

  1. Clear result set
    image
    This task is necessary to clear the result pane after using other workflows. It’s added automatically to most workflows. This task doesn’t require any configuration. Just please add it to the workflow.
  2. Change Layer Visibility
    The one and only job of this task is to show/hide selected layers. You can configure it by selecting the task and  pressing theProperties button. In each workflow of Find nearest category we’ve set the layer visibility to show the one exact layer. This is how the task properties window is configured for one of the workflows in this category:

  3. Find Nearest

    The main job of this task is to show nearest records from chosen layers in the selected location. We can configure it by selecting the task and pressing the Properties button.
    In all instances of the Find nearest section workflows there is a single layer selected and result rows are set to 5. It means that the task will show maximum 5 nearest records. This is how configured task look:

  4. Fetch Result Set

    This task is necessary for most of other tasks. Its job is to fetch specified result set. In the task bar you can set which result set should be fetched by the task. We’ve set it to fetch "inspection" result set because the result set of Find Nearest task by default is set to "inspection".
  5. Show Result Pane

    This task is responsible for showing result set of selected workflow in the result pane. There is no need to change any settings for this task. Just please add it to the workflow.

Basic tasks

This section contains workflows which allows us to obtain other results. For example:

...

  1. Clear result set

    This task is necessary to clear the result pane after using other workflows. It’s added automatically to most workflows. This task doesn’t require any configuration.  Just please add it to the workflow.

  2. Find by Query
    This task is responsible for finding records specified by a query.

    Because the stg_land_use_symbol layer contains data of many different points of interest and we want to find only Hill Forts – we can use Find by Query to precise which records should be displayed. We can configure it by selecting the task and pressing the Properties button.

    This is how the Query Builder looks:

    For Find by Query task documentation please visit: http://statmap.co.uk/?page_id=4993Find by Query

  3. Fetch Result Set

    This task is necessary for most of other tasks. Its job is to fetch specified result set. In the task bar you can set which result set should be fetched by the task. We’ve set it to fetch "inspection" result set because in the previous (Find by Query) task we’ve set the result set to "inspection".

  4. Show Result Pane

    This task is responsible for showing result set of selected workflow in the result pane. There is no need to change any settings for this task. Just please add it to the workflow.

    Description and usage explanation of all Aurora tasks can be found here: http://statmap.co.uk/?page_id=3605Tasks

Find all museums in selected District Borough workflow

...

  1. Clear result set

    This task is necessary to clear the result pane after using other workflows. It’s added automatically to most workflows. This task doesn’t require any configuration.  Just please add it to the workflow.
  2. Drill down through layers

    This task allows you to configure what layers will be inspected in push pin location when it is executed. In this workflow we have used the Drill Down through layers task to inspect District Borough layer – because as a final result we want to display all museums located in selected district.
    For Drill Down Through Layers task documentation please visit: http://statmap.co.uk/?page_id=4984Drill Down Through Layers
  3. Combine Result Set

    This task allows to combine results from many tasks and display all of them as a result of using a single workflow. In the previous step we’ve used the Drill Down through layers task. Results of this task are always set as Inspection. Now we’re using Combine Result Set task to change the Inspection result set to Selection result set. We will need this configuration in the next step.
  4. Find by Layer

    This task works similar to the Earthlight Select by Layers tool. It can show records from one layer by comparing them to records from different layer. You can set various comparing methods in the task properties as well as add a buffer or set calculation precision. In this workflow we want to find all Museums that are located in selected district. That’s why we’ve set: Select records from Museums that intersect with records from District Borough layer that are Limited to SELECTION result set (that’s why we’ve changed the Inspection result set to Selection result set in the task number 3). As a final step we’ve changed the result set of this task to"A".
    For Find by Layer task documentation please visit: http://statmap.co.uk/?page_id=4996Find by Layer
  5. Fetch Result Set

    This task is necessary for most of other tasks. Its job is to fetch specified result set. In the task bar you can set which result set should be fetched by the task. We’ve set it to fetch "A" result set because in the previous step we’ve the result set of Find by Layertask set to "A".
  6. Show Result Pane

    This task is responsible for showing result set of selected workflow in the result pane. There is no need to change any settings for this task. Just please add it to the workflow.
    Description and usage explanation of all Aurora tasks can be found here: http://statmap.co.uk/?page_id=3605Tasks

Legend

This section allows us to control the visibility of all Aurora map layers. To change the visibility, you have to check/uncheck the small box next to the layer’s name. This section contains only one workflow and only one task – Show map legend. You can read more about this task here: http://statmap.co.uk/?page_id=5017Show Map Legend

Summary

This guide was created to allow you to better understand the basics of creation of the Aurora script. There are many more useful features related to the Aurora script which are described in other documentation parts of the Aurora software. All settings and configurations of the script presented in this guide were set to reflect the data we are working on. Feel free to use different names and themes for all Aurora elements.
