From here, users can search for data to view in several ways.

To search for a particular dataset users can type the name of the dataset into the Catalogue search box.

Or, to search by the type of data contained in the dataset, users can choose from the data types contained in the Layer type field, which appears when the '+' next to the Catalogue search is clicked.

Selecting Map Layers for Visualisation

To add a dataset to the map for viewing, users should click on the dataset name in the Data Catalogue. Please note that for larger datasets, data may take a few seconds to load.

When a dataset is added, a legend for the dataset will appear. Users will also see the dataset appear in the “Visible Data” section of the page.
