Unlock the power of your data
with the Analysis page
By Johannes Tiusanen

One of the most useful tools
on the Soil Scout Hub is the
Analysis page. While the
regular Device view graphs
overlay data from selected
devices in the same time axis, which is a
great way to get an overall view of your soil
conditions and trends, sometimes you need
to compare data from different times. That's
where the Analysis page comes in handy.
The Analysis page is a powerful tool that
allows you to compare any data graphs from
different times. For example, you can plot
soil moisture from several growing seasons
on top of each other to analyse the seasonal
differences. You can also plot any parameters,
such as temperature and salinity, into the
same graph. The best part? You can save the
created Analysis and it will be visible for other
users of the same Site.
Let's take a look at an example. Imagine you
want to compare growing seasons 2020 and
2022 from the Group "25 cm Scouts". With the
Analysis page, you can easily plot the moisture
graphs for both seasons and sync them based
on growth stage rather than calendar. This
way, you can see the differences between the
two seasons and make informed decisions for
the future.
It's important to note that while you can
add as many graphs as you wish, having too
many can make the graph unclear. But don't
worry, you can hide and show graph lines by
clicking their legends.
Another great feature of the Analysis page
is that the graph lines are live. This means
that an unfinished line will extend as data
accumulates, and every time you open a
particular Analysis the "ongoing season" graph
will have grown longer.
Creating an Analysis is easy. Simply click the
"Create Analysis" button and give the analysis
a familiar name which will also be understood
by your colleagues. Then, add data to the
graph by clicking the "Add Data" button and
choosing the Scouts and/or Groups you wish
to add. You can choose the same data multiple
times if you wish to have several graphs from
the same source but different times. Once the
graphs appear in the plot, you can change the
Data Type (moisture, temperature...) and the
Start Date of each line.
Your feedback is invaluable to us as we
continue to improve our platform to better
serve your needs. With the Analysis page, the
possibilities are endless, and we can't wait to
hear how it transforms the way you work with
your data. Go ahead, create your own analysis,
discover the power of your data and let us
know how you feel about it!
