Select Feature as AOI for partial downloads
New Feature for the Partial Data Download Tool
Allow the user to select a feature from an existing Layer (that is also selected in the Layers Panel) to use an AOI for partial downloads.
Currently the user has to use the "Draw AOI" button to draw an AOI on the map. The "Select Feature as AOI" will be an additional way by which a user can subset datasets of interest before proceeding to download.
Tentative Implementation Workflow
- Add a new button to Partial Data Download panel with the label Select Feature as AOI.
- Upon button selection the Select Feature from Layer tab opens (just above), which contains the following elements:
- Two dropdowns. The first displays the layers that contains features that can be used as AOI, for instance in PDG, the Permafrost Zones layer. The second dropdown displays the features from the layer selected in the first dropdown.
- A "Zoom to Feature" button below the dropdowns that gets activated once the user has selected a Feature. This button is optional and allows the user to automatically zoom into the selected feature on the map.
- Upon Feature Selection display datasets below. This panel is identical to what is currently displayed following "Draw AOI".
