Customization Options

  1. Original Data: delivers the original data with no customizations

  2. Pan and Define Selection: used with the Extract and Clip options for customizing data. The Pan option allows the user to move around the map and the Define Selection option allows the user to draw a box around the subsection of data they wish to order.

  3. Customize: allows user to customize the data

    • Full Data: delivers the full dataset and allows the user to select ‘other customizations’
    • Extract: only available for vector data. Allows the user to order a subsection of the dataset by drawing a box around the data they wish to order (using the define selection option). This option delivers all the data that falls within the selection box as well as data features that intersect the selection box.
    • Clip: only available for raster data. Allows the user to order a subsection of the dataset by drawing a box around the data they wish to order (using the define selection option). This option only delivers the data that falls within the selection box.

    • Datum-Projection: allows the user to choose the datum and projection they would like their data delivered in
    • File Format: allows the user to select the file format they would like their data delivered in
    • Layers: available for some vector data. Allows the user to select a single dataset to download (if the data listing includes multiple datasets) or allows the user to order data a subset of the data based on attribute values
    • Spatial Resolution: only available for raster data. Allows the user to select the spatial resolution of the dataset.

  5. Price: displays the price or price range of the dataset. The price of the dataset will change based on the customization options selected.
