Boosting self-service geoanalytics

[vincentdechandon]

Edit 01/26/2017: New version of Galigeo For Lumira is now out!

It was at SAPPHIRE 2016 we introduced the last big release of Galigeo For Lumira.

Since, the solution has been providing an advanced geomapping experience to any Lumira user, abstracting all the complexity too often related to geospatial.

The upcoming January 24 release, will boost self-service geomapping, by fully empowering the business users with stronger geocapabilities: native hierarchies, time-series, conditional formatting, ...

Drag and drop will be the only two steps needed to bring your data to life on the map.

This blog will quickly present the new features that you can leverage in the next release of Galigeo For Lumira.

Support of native hierarchies

Just drag and drop your hierarchies that come directly from HANA or the one you have built in Lumira.

Then drill-down and drill-up through all the levels without limitations.

What is important to note is that any of your dimensions can be part of a hierarchy and displayed on the map, letting you really visualize your data on the map the way you want.

You are not forced to go through the mandatory levels like with the native geomaps, as shown in the animation below.

On-demand Time-Series

This new feature is as easy to implement as hierarchies, just drag any dimension, and select it in the time-slider icon available on the map (left-side menu, 3rd option).

The data will then start to animate automatically. As easy as it's written.

During the animation, the map controls are still available. So for example you will still be able to zoom in anywhere you want without breaking the animation flow.

Of course, the main use of this feature will be associated to a time dimension, but beyond that, it works with any type of dimension.

For example, you can leverage the time-slider to go accross different categories of products.

Conditional Formatting

As you might already know, Galigeo For Lumira embeds a Smart Mapping engine, that recommends the best fit visualization based on the data you want to see.

Until now, when applying a color range representation based on a measure, the ranges were automatically computed by the Smart Mapping engine.

In this new version, you will be able to define your own ranges, also known as conditional formatting.

So now the representation will fit 100% your business needs.

Pie Charts

Of course, like color ranges, you will be able to fully customize them, for example by selecting a different color for each category!

This is only a sneak peak of what's coming, and it will be up to you to discover all the new features by trying out the product!

Here's a glimpse into another cool new feature (custom basemap):

That's it guys.
