Ordering archive data with a catalogue
gIQ allows a user to acquire archive data from vendors who have integrated with gIQ, and other users which have not yet integrated. This flow takes you through the ordering process where the vendor has integrated their catalogue, in this case Sentinel-2. Some data sets, like the Sentinel-2 are at the moment available for free.
1. Click on Data Acq
A new window will open with the option "Buy" or " Order". Click on Buy to place an order.
2. Click on the Vendor from the list
In this example Sentinel-2
3. You have to select a start and end date of the Acquisition Date.
Click on the calendar icon to open the calendar window or you can write the date in the predetermined date format.
Within the calendar window you can select specific year and change page for different months, then select a day.
4. Click on the select tool to choose your area of interest
5. Select your area of interest
6. At the moment you must agree to the EULA of the vendor prior to searching for relevant data. Once this box is checked, it is then possible to search for the imagery which intersects with the AOI you have drawn.
Click on click on the box "agree to Sentinel-2 EULA"
Click on the "Search" Button.
7. A list with available imagery from the Vendor will appear
The catalogue is now displayed on the map. It will show all of the footprints of the data and the list of the data files on the left hand side. As a user, you now select the files you want to order.
8. Select the imagery from the list that you wish to order
9. Review the metadata
As an optional step you can review the metadata of the file you are ordering. Clicking on this i icon will open a new pop-up which lists all of the metadata for this specific file.
10. Click on add to the shopping cart
In the description of the imagery, you receive the information regarding the price. In this example the imagery is free of charge.
11. Shopping cart
You will now see the shoppong cart for your orders. If desired, you can remove the order from your shopping cart.
12. Give an order description
This is an optional step. It adds context for the order itself, which could be important for approvers of the order.
13. Place the order.
14. Order Submitted
Once you see this pop-up the order has been submitted. It is now in the approval process. It must first be approved by your organisational administrator before the order is passed to Space42 or UAESA.
If you hold this permission you must go to the orders page to approve the order.
See The order process guide.
