Setting up iSENSE
This is a brief page that will explain how to set up your iSENSE project for use with App Inventor 2. What you need to know to set up a project, access your contributor key, find your project ID, and change the default visualization.
- Log into iSENSE, and create a new project.
- When on the project, right below where the name of the project is listed, there will be a settings button with a gear on it, click that button.
- You'll want to create a new "Label and Contributor Key" The label will show up on your data set, with whatever you selected. The key is what you will use on AppInventor, so that it will have permission to access your project.
-
You'll also want to remember the project ID. You can view this listed on the main project page, or in the URL, at any point when you are on the project.
-
In AppInventor, import the extension, and edit the ContributorKey & ProjectID to be exactly what's on your project.
You're now all set to upload onto iSENSE from your App Inventor app!
- The default visualization is what is going to be shown when you click the "Visualize" button on an iSENSE webpage, or if you use the GetVisURL block without entering a desired VisType.
- Go onto your iSENSE project, and click "Visualize" with all of your data sets selected.
-
Make any adjustments you want on your final default visualization, you can change the type of visualization, the grouping options, the filtering, etc.
-
On the bottom of the menu on the left side of the menu on the left, there is a section called "Save". Click that, and then the blue "Make Default" button.
Once you've done that, the default visualization should have changed to whatever you were viewing when you clicked the button. If you'd like to test it for yourself, go back to the project page, and click the "Visualize" button again, it should show you your default visualization.
