I guarantee that you will learn something new (if not many things) from this training walkthrough. If you ever need any clarification on anything, don’t hesitate to ask us! This training […]
Section 1 – First Steps
After walking through these steps below, you will have a good sense of how to navigate through SpatialKey and how to begin visualizing data. 1) Learn the home interface Start by getting familiar with the home interface. Learn more >> 2) Import a dataset and open it in a dashboard Let’s tackle a basic end to […]
Section 2 – All About Importing Data
In the first training session, you learned how to import a .csv dataset, but there is a lot that we breezed over. Here is everything you need to know about importing data into SpatialKey. There is more in this document than you’ll probably ever need, but treat this as your overall resource for importing data. […]

Dashboard Templates
Do you have a standard set of dashboards that you commonly create when you upload new data into SpatialKey? Custom shapes, multiple layers rendering perfectly on the map, multiple pods telling a story, etc… Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to plug a different dataset into an existing dashboard instead of having to recreate the dashboard […]
Policy File Setup
Attaching a policy dataset to a location dataset (that is already imported into SpatialKey) will allow you to use the dataset to calculate exposed limits or gain perspective and answer targeted questions about exposures in your portfolio. If you don’t have a dataset ready for this but still want to follow along with an example, you […]

Importing Shapefiles
What is a Shapefile? Shapefiles were introduced by ESRI (Environmental Systems Research Institute) as a way to package up not only data (like what is contained in a CSV file imported into SpatialKey) but also geographic information (beyond a single point of latitude and longitude). This geographic information is visualized within SpatialKey as polygons that […]
Layer Manager
Note: This feature is available in SpatialKey Client for Windows applications, i.e., Map Analyst, Hazard Analyst and Accumulations. The layer manager allows us to control what layers are visible in the dashboard and how those layers are visualized. In this article, we will start by walking through the layer manager basics. Show, Hide, Minimize, Maximize […]
