csWeb, short for common sense Web, is a userfriendly web application for showing (GIS) data on a map. It allows you to apply multiple filters to filter your data, and to style it, so you can immediately see what's important.

csweb's Issues

socket.io exception

In the console, I see a handshake exception with socket.io.

In addition, we should only load the flight tracker service when required (and when the user has Internet - currently, when using it without Internet, node crashes).

Working with multiple projects

The projects.json file already permits multiple references to project.json files. However, only the first one is used. It'd be very useful if we can define multiple project.json file (for different applications or demos).
Apparently, implementation of this only requires a directive, plus a description in the wiki.

When exporting/downloading data, allow the user to select between csv and geojson.

Add natural language forms to simplify user interaction

e.g. using something like: http://tympanus.net/codrops/2013/05/21/natural-language-form-with-custom-input-elements/

could be used for adding filters, styles, layers, heatmaps, mca, etc.

Support scatterplot filters

Combine two filters to create a scatterplot

Excel integration: Excel to Geojson

Support KML/GPX/shape layer source

using https://github.com/mapbox/togeojson

define min-max zoom level for layers

disable layer outside of range (using opacity)

Expert mode: update user interface

Currently, we can select the expert mode using a star rating. However, users might confuse this rating with a rating of the site. Replace it with another visual element.

3D view not working

Lots of files are missing, cannot switch back to 2D (layer isn't loaded anymore).

Excel integration: Dynamic Geojson to Web interface

Add capability to show Worldimage files (png, jpg, tiff, bmp)

Currently, this capability is emulated using an external GeoServer.
It ought to be relatively easy to have 'native' raster bitmap layers.

Dashboard editor

Refresh layer timer

Replacing the style icon with a palette

Heatmap cache

Cache the heatmap scores without weights. In case the user changes the weights, only weighted scores need to be recalculated instead of the complete heatmap.

reorder layers

enable interactive reordering of layers with corresponding z-index

Filter: Support option types

See the filter: boolean issue. In this case, a multi-select pull-down menu seems more appropriate.

Hierarchical layers

More powerful legends

We need more powerful / versatile legens that can be associated with map layers. E.g. multi color, with user specified ranges per color. (e.g. colors associated with traffic speeds)

OfflineSearch

The current search only search loaded layers. In addition, it does not account for typos, and we would like to have a bit of fuzzyness, so Parnasia provides similar results to parnassia.

Refresh timer does not work properly

Although the layer is reloaded, the style is no longer respected. I have the impression that the feature style isn't added/found anymore.

Add capability to show (Esri) grid files (asc, grd, flt)

Grid data is rather commonly used, also in Urban Strategy, and grid files are recognized by just about every GIS software.
So, it makes much sense to add "grid" as a new layer type.

Filtering in FeatureProps doesn't work anymore

Indicator Widget Editor

Flights dashboard: widget is not working

Dashboards from previous project remain visible

When switching between projects, e.g. between Eindhoven and Rubroek (in the csMapUS application), teh dashboards of the previous project (e.g. Air Quality) remain visible.

Heatmap

Allow a user to select among the loaded features where he likes to live or work: near some, and far away from others.

For example, a user might like to live near train stations and grocery stores, but far away from bars.

tilelayers hidden after baselayer switch

Force refresh layers

update interfaces

cesium integration

zoom to layer timerange

Using a layer context menu

Main view (with the map) should be a dashboard

add default styling property to layer

Focus time in the project.json configuration is ignored.

In a project.json file you can add a timeLine section, e.g.

    "timeLine": {
        "start": 1375315200000,
        "end": 1425168000000,
        "range": 34128000000,
        "zoomLevelName": "years",
        "isLive": false
    },

However, when you include the focus time, it is ignored.

Guidelines

Are there any customisation guidlines?

Data table not working anymore - should become a dashboard

Filter: support boolean type properties

Instead of showing a histogram, show a checkbox (three states: true, false, true or false), or a multi-select pulldown (as Excel does).

Optionally, include the count (e.g. true count = 300, false count =213, as the histogram does).

'Smart' IconUri images are not shown in the Legend

e.g. images\Prio{Priority}.png, which translates to Prio1.png when the properties['Priority'] === 1, is not displayed in the legend list.

Support for layer opacity

Focus time is not accurate

realtime datasource subscriptions

zoom to layer bounds

Using a layer context menu

Filter selection: you can never select (include) the last value.

For example, when a property value is either 0 or 1, you can filter for 0, but not for 1.

Dashboards integration

CreatedTime and TimeSpan properties for features

Wouldn't it be nice if we could use certain property types like DateCreated and TimeSpan, so we can automatically show/hide features on the timeline.

Scrolling, e.g. on the Styles tab

When displaying multiple styles (especially if there are legends with many entries), the styling tab can become so full that information drops off at the bottom of the window.
Having a scrolling capability would be helpful in such cases.
See the example below.

When exporting data, also export the geometry.

Flights dashboard: when switching back to home, FlightRadar layer checkbox is not turned off.
