Sites
Map View
The first page you will see upon opening AirLogic is the Map View. Here, you will see all of the sites you have created.
To use the Map View:
-
Click on
at the top of the page.
-
Select a site by clicking on the colored marker. This will take you to the Summary page for that site. You can mouse over each marker to confirm its name.
Summary
The Site Summary tab aggregates yearly data from each site to provide quick statistics for big-picture analysis.
Line chart
View and compare Portfolio metrics in a chart. Click a metric to see how the value changes over time on a chart. Click other metrics to compare.
Chart scale
Toggle between relative and absolute scale. Use Relative to look at how much a dataset is changing. Use Absolute to see if values are high or low compared to global scale configured for the user’s account.
Time Selection
By default, the Site Summary reflects data from the past four years. Change the time range of data visible by selecting from the dropdown at the top. These time ranges can be customized per customer.
Categories
The various metrics available in you AirLogic subscription are curated into relevant categories. These are easy for us to customize per customer. You may want a section for "Aerial" versus "Handheld Devices" or group them by event types such as "Dust."
Share
Clicking the "Share" button at the top right downloads a CSV of all data available in the selected category.
Data coverage
View data coverage. Metrics are great. But how much can I trust them? To answer this you need to know how much data coverage you have. Does this metric reflect a majority of sites or only a few? Was it calculated from a few measurements or a large number? The data coverage panel shows you this information for the selected metrics.
Rosetta
Rosetta is the main way to view a single site. It displays any number of data types in parallel on a timeline. Easily track trends, anomalies, and blind spots. Gain insights towards next steps for further analysis.
To view Rosetta:
- Select a site. This can be done on either the Site Map or Analytics Tab. You will be zoomed into a view of your site on the map.
- At first, no data sets are selected. You will need to choose some. Click the
button to bring up a list of data sources. Select as many as you would like. Click on the “x” in the top right corner or anywhere outside of the pop-up.
- Click on any colored marker in the Rosetta Timeline. (White spaces have no data for that period.)
- Wait for relevant imagery to populate the map. Toggle the visibility or transparency of this layer using the buttons in the key.
Share Data
AirLogic has four methods for sharing and exporting the data you see in Rosetta.
Send a Link
Others with access to AirLogic can view what you’ve assembled in AirLogic via a link. You can also send this link to yourself to pick up later where you left off.
To send a link:
- In Rosetta, select the datasets you want other people to see.
- Click the Share button at the top right. “Send a Link” should be the default method opened.
- Click on the
to copy the link to your clipboard.
Download Raw Data (CSV)
To download raw data:
- In Rosetta, select the datasets you want to be downloaded.
- Click the Share button at the top right.
-
Click on
-
Click on
- This option will be grayed out if you have not selected any datasets.
Integrate with GIS application
To obtain a URL for creating a GIS layer:
- In Rosetta, select the datasets you want to export.
- Click the Share button at the top right.
- Click on the “Integrate with GIS application”
tab in the popup.
- Click on the
to copy the link to your clipboard.
Configure Site
You can rename or delete sites by clicking the "Configure Site" button in the top right.
Rename
To rename a site, type the new name into the box and click "Rename"
Delete
If a site needs deleted, this can be done from the Configure Site menu. This will delete any data associated with this site, including any custom data we have ingested. If you need to make a drastic change to a site, but do not want to lose any data, reach out to us at support@blueskyresources.com
If you are sure you want to permanently delete a site, press the delete button. Then click 'Yes' to confirm.
Portfolio
The Portfolio is where you can view all of your sites in one place. Monitor trends, compare datasets, and gain immediate context at a glimpse.
Summary
The Portfolio Summary tab aggregates yearly data from each site to provide quick statistics for big-picture analysis.
Line chart
View and compare Portfolio metrics in a chart. Click a metric to see how the value changes over time on a chart. Click other metrics to compare.
Chart scale

Data coverage
View data coverage. Metrics are great. But how much can I trust them? To answer this you need to know how much data coverage you have. Does this metric reflect a majority of sites or only a few? Was it calculated from a few measurements or a large number? The data coverage panel shows you this information for the selected metrics.
Coverage metric
Toggle between site reporting and number of measurements. Use Sites reporting to look at how many sites have any number of datapoints for each metric/year. Use Number of measurements to look at how many total datapoints for each metric/year exist across all sites.
Totals by site
View totals for each metric by site. If you can't see a metric, you may be in the wrong category.
Sorting
Sites can be sorted alphabetically or ranked by any of the metrics in the selected category. Click a metric header once to sort descending and again for ascending.
Tip: You can also use this menu to navigate directly to sites. Click the row for any site and you will be taken to the corresponding Site Summary.
4square
4Square empowers users to spot trends and outliers across their sites. This visualization plots your sites based on two metrics.
Select a preset
Click a preset metric comparison to see how sites cluster within those two metrics.
Tip: You can click the dots on the chart to navigate directly to sites. Use this if you want to quickly inspect an outlier or site of interest.
Custom comparison
Presets don't have exactly what you're looking for? If you want to compare any two metrics, manually select an X and Y axis with the two dropdowns.
Warning: Some combinations of metrics may not display elegantly. Custom comparisons cannot be guaranteed to produce an insightful 4square chart.
Time Selection
By default, the 4square reflects data from the past four years. Change the time range of data visible by selecting from the dropdown at the top. These time ranges can be customized per customer.
Create Sites
To add a new site:
- Click the
button near the top right of the page.
- Enter an address in the first text box. When you see your site appear in the drop-down menu, you can select
- If you cannot find your site by address, or your site does not have an address, you can also locate it by dragging the map and zooming to its location.
- Name your site something specific. This is what it will be called in the Sites List.
- Draw your site using the tools available in the top center of the screen. Only one shape is necessary to create a site. Select from the following by clicking on its icon:
Point marker - Place exact points on the map. Use this tool for marking pinpoint locations such as a single ground sensor or pump station.
Square - Click and drag a box around your site. Make sure to encapsulate the whole facility.
Polygon - Create a custom multi-sided shape to encapsulate your site. Click to place the first point, click in more locations to add each line, and close the shape off by clicking the first point again. Use this tool for mapping tight borders around your site to avoid overlapping neighboring facilities.
Drag - This tool will not draw any shapes, but lets you pause drawing to reposition the map.
- If you make a mistake, press the
button to start over.
- When you have correctly completed the above steps, the
button will stop being greyed out. Click it to finish creating your site.
