Automatic Outputs
The Automations
capability basically includes other automatic output that did not fit into the category
of Summary Report or EMAIL Alerts. The outputs
defined in this function are automatically generated when new storm data is received
and can be saved to a hard drive location
and/or sent via Email. There are 4 types
of “other” Automations.
Map
Image:
The
Map Image automation simply generates
a tracking map for the storm. The user can
define the mapping parameters. This is useful
when all you need to do is send an image of the storm track, wind bands, etc..
Google
Earth:
The
Google Earth automation generates a KML/KMZ
file for the storm with specific outputs defined by the user.
This is handy when you want to share information about a storm but would rather
have the recipient view it on the Google Earth Interface.
Since this is a single file, it is perfect for Emailing.
EXCEL
(spreadsheet):
The
EXCEL automation will create an EXCEL
compatible file which contains a impact report information for a location group.
For folks who just want a concise report and prefer working with spreadsheets
this is the way to go. Perfect for emailing.
SHAPE
File:
This
automation is available only for Hurrtrak Advanced Users.
The SHAPE File automation allows
the user to create multiple ERSI Shape files. The
specific outputs can be defined by the user. Because
of the potential for a large number of files, it may make more sense to save these
files to a network directory and allow your users to view them in that manner…
rather than sending them via email.
