Viewing Data on Search Map

The Search Map presents you with a single, global view of all available data— Layers, Targets, Reports, and RFIs —on an interactive virtual globe. By default, all available Layers, Targets, Reports, and RFIs data types are turned off by default and the Timeline filter is set to the last 24 hours.

To get started with Search Map, do the following:

• Turn on your preferred map view by toggling map view.
• Simplify the display by toggling all or only the data types relevant to your task.
• Click and drill into the details about specific data types
• Focus on specific historical timeframes with the All Time or Custom filters.
• Quickly understand what’s happening right now using recent time filters namely last 24 hours, last 48 hours, or last 72 hours.

Key Viewing Options

• Changing Map Perspective
  Switch between Globe View and Perspective View for a more suitable analysis context.

  Use timeline filters to narrow down the data you see by recent activity (last 24/48/72 hours), available historical years, or a custom date range.

• Focusing by Data Type
  Toggle different categories of data—such as Layers, Targets, Reports, or RFIs—on or off to control what is displayed.

• Interacting with Data Points
  Click a data point on the map to a open dialog box. This dialog box provides details, metadata, coordinates, and options to access modules related to the data point (for example, Target Manager or Workspace).
