GeometryField

A geometry field is a type of field that represents a spatial feature. Currently, the column type can be further distinguished into Geometry (Point) or Line Geometry (Line string).

Usage example

GeometryField is one of the options for creating a heat map. For this to work, the data must be stored in the WGS84 coordinate system. To set up the GeometryField, follow these steps:

  1. In the Fields tab in Project Settings, click on the + button, select GeometryField from the dropdown menu and fill in the ID, e.g., geometry.
  2. In Column type, there are 2 options to choose from:
    Geometry – used for points
    LineGeometry – used for Multiline strings
  3. The next step is to fill in the Source name of the column under which the data is stored in the source table.
  4. To confirm the settings, click on the green checkmark button in the top right.
