How do I navigate to Dataset Management
Go to Edit Site > Dataset Management.
What can I do in Dataset Management?
The Dataset Management area is where you manage the datasets you have in NavVis IVION.
View details of the datasets.
View the number of datasets, maps (2D maps generated for the bundle), nodes, and edges.
View the number of counted panoramic images.
Load and unload datasets into Alignment Bundles.
Delete datasets and alignment bundles.
Manage Alignment Bundle security settings.
Navigate directly to IVION Processing to transfer processed dataset sets.
Upload point clouds from an external source.
Upload georeferenced 360° panoramic images taken with a camera that can capture 360°.
Generating Maps.
Note:
For more information about panoramic images and how they are counted, refer here.
Whenever you make any changes in Dataset Management, do not forget to click Publish to implement the changes.
Transferring NavVis Datasets from IVION Processing
Perform the following procedure to transfer processed datasets from IVION Processing to your IVION instance. They will then display in Dataset Management.
Go to IVION Processing > Processed data. Alternatively, you can quickly jump to Processed data from Dataset Management using the button at the top right of the screen.
Select the dataset you want to add to Dataset Management.
Click Add to dataset management.
The screen displays ADDED.
Click Continue to dataset management to go to Dataset Management.
The Dataset Management screen is displayed, showing the added Dataset without bundle.
Note: The transfer process may take a few moments for large dataset transfers. The dataset will only display once the dataset transfer has finished.
Click the Load button.
Working with Alignment Bundles
Alignment Bundles are collections (bundles) of related datasets that can be grouped together. The following describes how you can manage Alignment Bundles.
Creating an Alignment Bundle
Go to Edit Site > Dataset Management.
Click Create new bundle.
Enter a name for the alignment bundle.
Set the View and Edit permissions for the alignment bundle. This gives the respective groups permission to view or edit the navigation graph and maps associated with the alignment bundle.
To add datasets to the alignment bundle, select the datasets you want to add from the Datasets without bundle column and click the arrow pointing left.
To remove datasets from the alignment bundle, select the datasets you want to remove from the Datasets in bundle column and click the arrow pointing right.
Click OK to save the alignment bundle.
If after you create the Alignment Bundle you want to edit it, click the Edit pencil icon next to the alignment bundle name.
Loading datasets and bundles to your site
The datasets and bundles now need to be made available to your NavVis sites. You can add them as a bundle or as individual datasets. Refer here for more information about the difference between dataset bundles and single datasets.
The Dataset Management screen is split into Datasets without bundles (single datasets) and Alignment bundles.
If you uploaded datasets as part of a bundle, they will be listed under Alignment Bundles. Click the + Load button and they will be loaded into your site.
If you uploaded datasets individually, they will be listed under Datasets Without Bundle. Click the + Load button and they will be loaded into your site.
Click the + Load button next to the dataset or bundle you want to load onto your site.
Downloading and transferring datasets between IVION sites
Use this procedure to download an alignment bundle for archiving or to move datasets to a different NavVis IVION site. Once downloaded, import the bundle into the target site via Site Setup > Dataset Management.
You can download an alignment bundle, which will include any artifacts (navigation graph and maps) associated with the bundle, to archive or to move datasets from one NavVis site to another.
Go to Dataset Management > Download bundles.
Click the download icon next to the alignment bundle you want to download.
Save the alignment bundle to your computer. The file can now be archived.
Note:
The draft must be published before downloading bundles. Once the document is published, the user can verify that all modifications made in the draft are included in the downloaded package.
Once you have downloaded the bundle file, change its extension from .bundle to .zip, and then try to extract it.
If the extraction completes successfully without any issues, the bundle file is intact and valid.
This step of verification is essential to identify any possible data corruption that may have occurred due to network disruptions during the download process.
Managing Access Rights for an Alignment Bundle
Perform the following procedure to change view or edit rights for an alignment bundle.
Go to Site Setup > Dataset Management.
Click the Edit pencil icon next to the alignment bundle you want to manage.
Click the View dropdown to modify viewing permissions. This specifies which user groups are allowed to access the 2D maps and the NavGraph created in this package.
From the dropdown menu for Edit, you can modify the permissions for editing access.
Click Save.
Click Publish when you have finished.
Deleting an Alignment Bundle or Dataset without a bundle
Go to Site Setup > Dataset Management.
Click the Unload button against the corresponding Alignment bundle or Dataset without a bundle.
Once it is unloaded, the Delete button is displayed. Click Delete to remove it from the site.
Deleting a bundle removes it from instance storage only. Processed data remains in cloud storage until you delete it separately. To remove processed data from a site, refer to Remove Processed Data from a Site.
Removing Datasets from the Alignment Bundle
Click the Edit pencil button next to the bundle.
The Edit bundle screen displays. Select the dataset you want to remove.
Click the arrow to remove the dataset out of the bundle.
To delete the selected dataset, click the Delete button.
To delete a dataset that is not part of a bundle, click the Delete button next to the dataset.
