Data Export Functionalities

Introduction

The citiwatts toolbox allows anyone to export part of a layer/dataset. This feature requires basic usage knowledge on selection and layers.

How to export a data set

Select the layer you want to export in the list of layers (left panel)
Select the selection scale on the right of the map (NUTS/LAU/hectare)
Select the the region you want with the selection
Once the selection is done, click on the export button button that appears below the layer name on the left panel to start the download process.

Once finished you will get a .tif file on your computer

Once all these steps are done you will have an export of one of the layers.

You can then use it with your own tools and even edit it to import it back to the platform.

The citiwatts toolbox is a living platform: As the research project as well as its sister and follow-up projects evolve, (new) functionalities are refined and bugs are addressed and solved. The toolbox is hosted in two environments: the development server and the production server. The development server has the most up-to-date version, with most of issues and bugs solved, but it might be unstable as developers keep working on it daily. The production server instead is a stable environment.
