Exporting Dynamic Features

It is possible to export the dynamic features (Resources and Incidents) for a defined time period to separate classes within xc. These will then be available within xd for further analysis, for example to plot the locations of resources within defined polygon areas to determine the amount of time, and number of patrols, that resources have spent in a particular trouble area.

The start and end points of the export are marked on the Replay Slider and the export is created as two classes in a folder chosen by the user. The procedure is similar to that for setting the recording of movement to a file.

  1. Select the time period for replay.
  2. Play this selection and decide when to start and when to stop the export, using the time readout as a guide.
  3. Click the Start Recording Marker button and then click on the Replay Slider to position the Start Point. This can be adjusted by sliding the marker left or right along the Replay Slider.
  4. Click the Stop Recording Marker button and then click on the Replay Slider to position the Stop Point. This can be adjusted by sliding the marker left or right along the Replay Slider.
  5. Click the Export Features button to start the export. A Data Export dialog appears.
  1. Browse for the location to save the classes and select the feature store or folder.
  2. Type in a suitable name for the Resource Class and the Incident Class in the relevant fields.
  3. Click OK to start the export. A Progress dialog appears showing the progress of the recording. xReplay is disabled during export.

When complete the progress dialog is closed and xReplay becomes active again. The two new classes are now available in xd for further analysis. The user who exported the classes will have full security permissions on the classes within xd but will need to set permissions for other users to view them.
