Running Analysis

Analysis tools can be run via:

  1. Web Interface: Use the analysis panels in the map viewer

  2. API: Make POST requests to analysis endpoints

  3. Batch Tools: Use the batch analysis interface

Background Processing

Most analysis operations run as background jobs:

  1. Analysis request creates a job in the queue

  2. Worker processes the job asynchronously

  3. Results are stored in a new dataset

  4. User is notified when complete

Output Formats

Analysis results can be stored as:

  • Static Table: Permanent table with results

  • View: Database view that updates with source data

  • Materialized View: Materialized view requiring refresh
