Inteleview FAQ
Uploading and Importing Data
How do I upload KML or KMZ files?
To upload a KML or KMZ file and make it available for sharing in Inteleview, all you have to do is tell us where the file is! Use our data uploading form to enter a remote URI or upload a file from your own hard drive. Make sure to provide a name and a description so you can find the layer in InteleView!
When this form is successfully submitted, your layer will be available in InteleView. Under the Layer Manager, choose the "Active Layers" tab and scroll down until you see "My Uploaded Layers" Simply expand that tree and select the newly uploaded layer.
How do I import CSV Data?
To upload a CSV file for viewing in Inteleview, each row will be treated as a point to be mapped onto the globe. This means that each row must contain a latitude and a longitude.
When the data is successfully imported, an icon will be placed on the globe for each row in your CSV data. When this icon is clicked, all the data from that row will be displayed.
Here is a quick example. The following CSV data (download sample data) lists the location of fictional Company X’s offices around the world, and the number of employees at each location.
Since this is a fairly small amount of data, we will paste it into the textarea instead of uploading a file. Both of these methods work exactly the same, though. We have also checked "First Line Contains Column Information," because our first line has the column names. Field delimiter is left to the default comma.
Once the CSV file has been recieved by the server, we have to answer a few questions about the data so that it can be parsed correctly. The first row of data from each column is displayed to make it easier to remember the order.
Because we checked "First Line Contains Column Information" in the first step, the field names will be automatically filled in, but we still have to tell the system which columns are Latitude and Longitude. We can also optionally specify a column to be used as the caption for the resulting icon in InteleView.
We also have to provide a name for our new layer, and a short description.
When this form is successfully submitted, it is time to open InteleView and look at our new layer.
Under the Layer Manager, choose the "Active Layers" tab and scroll down until you see "My Uploaded Layers" Simply expand that tree and select the newly uploaded layer.
That's it!
