Tasking Dashboard Updates¶

Improvements 🙌🏻¶

• In Tasking Dashboard > Create an Order > Other Requirements, the Order Type selection has changed as shown in the following illustration:

Improvements 🙌🏻¶

• The Import Dialog is updated to provide improved validation and assistance when a geometry needs to be simplified.
• If you upload a multi-feature file (multiple geometries in one file), all features display on the map. You can easily inspect your selections with a geo reference instead of a thumbnail. You can choose to select or deselect all.
• If your geometry contains more than 500 vertices or if it contains self intersecting points, you are presented with simplified alternatives. These alternatives are supported when selected.
• Measurements no longer display as abbreviating measurements. For example, 1,500 km2 instead of 1.5k km2.

Bug Fixes 🐛¶

• This release fixed an issue when moving Hosted Data items to folders. Now only selected data is moved.
• There were issues reordering past orders that were not clipped. Now you can now reorder without issues.

Improvements 🙌🏻¶

• You can now clip Hosted Data orders if you have clipping permissions.
• You can re-order a previous order from the Orders tab.
• When searching for a specific address, a pin marker indicates a single point at the searched location.

Bug Fixes 🐛¶

• When in compare mode, compare cards did not correctly display the timestamp.
• Searching for locations could result in a default selection of the first item in the result list instead of the desired selection from the list.

Improvements 🙌🏻¶

KMZ File Support¶

The Planet Explorer Importer now supports KMZ files to specify an area of interest (AOI). KMZ files are Zip-compressed .KML files that store map locations viewable in various geographic information systems (GIS) applications, including Planet Explorer.
