Viewing data

Explore spatial data attributes and properties for better map analysis.

Table view is a tabular interface that lets you quickly inspect all the features in your data layers as rows. In addition to scrolling through the data, you can also rename and sort columns, search for specific terms and add filters.

Working with table view

Renaming columns

Clicking on a column will open its options menu. The first row is a text input where you can rename the column — this new name will also show up in label and popups.

Sorting by a column

Like above, click on a column to access its options menu, then select Sort ascending or Sort descending to sort the full table by the values in that column. This works for all column data types: text, numbers, booleans and dates.

Searching features

Click the search icon on the top-right corner of the table to search throughout all columns.

Selecting a feature

Clicking once on a row will select that feature both on the table and in the map, indicated by a pink highlight color. Double-clicking on the row will also zoom to it on the map.

Adding a filter

You can add filters for a column directly in the table view. Learn more about filtering layers.

Formatting

You can format numeric attributes directly in the table view. Learn more about formatting.

Edit layer metadata

Viewing the underlying data is important, but understanding how it was prepared is just as critical. If you are licensing data from any data providers and need to provide those details in Felt, you can add attribution metadata to data layers in Felt. Adding an attribution to layers in Felt will add attribution information to the credits in the bottom left corner of the Felt map.

From the Data tab of the layer editor you can add information about a layers source, attribution or license by clicking on the option to Edit metadata. The Attribution "Display text" section gets added to the map credits.

Viewers will be able to see access and review the Layer metadata via the Felt legend:
