FAQ

What is live monitoring?

Live monitoring lets you track data generated for your mapping projects in near real-time. You can follow your project's progress, spot potential issues as they happen, and ensure that the data being generated is accurate and reliable.

Is live monitoring available for all projects?

No, the live monitoring feature is limited to projects in five specific countries: Bangladesh, Malawi, Ecuador, Morocco, and Nigeria.

Is live monitoring available for every user?

Yes, live monitoring is available to all logged-in users who have expert mode turned on. This option is available right below the contributions timeline section.

What should I do if I can't access live monitoring for my project, even if it is on the available list?

Check Your Profile Settings: Make sure you have expert mode enabled in your profile settings.

image

Log Out and Log Back In: Sometimes, logging out and then logging back in can refresh your session and allow access to the feature.
Hard Refresh: Perform a hard refresh on your browser. This can help ensure you are seeing the latest updates and changes on the page.

Why is live monitoring not available for all projects?

Live monitoring is currently only available for projects in specific countries as it is an experimental feature. We are focusing on a limited set of projects to gather feedback and fine-tune the feature before potentially expanding its availability.

What is the primary data source for the live monitoring feature?

The primary data source for live monitoring in this project is the data collected from Underpass work. This data serves as the foundation for tracking mapping projects and ensuring the information being gathered is accurate and reliable.


Other notable mentions in this release:

  • Easier access to Project Editing: An Edit Project button has been added to the Task Selection page, allowing for easier updates to project instructions and more direct project editing.
  • Enhanced Email Content Display: Images in the email content were not displaying correctly due to comments not being converted from Markdown to HTML before being sent to users. This issue has been resolved by cleaning and converting comments from Markdown to HTML, ensuring images display properly in email content.
  • Fix for Project Instructions Language Selection: An issue where project instructions were not correctly reflecting the language preference of the user has been resolved. This fix ensures that project instructions are presented in the user's opted language, improving accessibility and the user experience by providing instructions in a language the user can understand and engage with more effectively.
  • Twitter Icon Change: The Twitter icon has been updated to X, aligning with the platform's latest branding changes.
  • Proxy URL for Accessing ohsome API: A new proxy URL for accessing the ohsome API has been added, masking the access token, thereby providing an additional layer of security.
  • Dependencies: Updates and fixes have been made to dependency management, including disabling pull requests from Dependabot, updating frontend dependencies, and resolving issues with CircleCI and Docker builds due to outdated Node.js versions.
  • Integrating AWS Logo within Footer: The AWS logo is now included within the footer section of the platform acknowledging the platform's use of AWS services, promoting transparency around the use of AWS infrastructure.

Tasking Manager Jan 2024 Release: Introducing Downloadable OSM Data 🚀

We're thrilled to unveil a groundbreaking feature in the first release of 2024 for Tasking Manager: the ability to download OSM Data directly for a project's mapping area! 🎉

Download OSM Data 🚢

Each Tasking Manager project now boasts a dedicated Download OSM Data section, providing seamless access to pre-generated base map feature exports in GeoJSON, KML, and SHP formats.

Download OSM Data

This enhancement takes inspiration from the flexibility offered by HOT's Export Tool.


FAQs:

Is the data export available for everyone? 👥

Absolutely! These exports are accessible to everyone, with or without a Tasking Manager login.

How often is the data refreshed? ⌛

Initially, exports were generated for all Tasking Manager projects in the second week of January 2024. Going forward, we're committed to refreshing the exports daily at 12 AM UTC, exclusively for published projects with user activity in the last 24 hours.

What is the data source? 🗺️ 👨‍💻

The data is exported from OpenStreetMap into a database managed by the HOT environment. We then clip it by project boundaries and filter it based on each project's mapping type. To keep the data current for active projects, we employ a combination of the raw-data-api and the tm-extractor script, running seamlessly every day.

For any questions about the codebase and data, your primary contact is @kshitijrajsharma.

After our last deployment, we have had users report about difficulties in accessing draft and private projects in spite of having the requisite project management access. This has come from a previous work on refactoring react queries for the frontend, and our test case is not complete at the moment to capture this beforehand.

Lessons learnt: Ensure there is automated smoke testing is in place for the frontend and complete unit and integration testing for the backend.

What has changed in this release?

Switching to ohsomeNow Stats instead of Leaderboard API

This release is mainly focused on switching the statistics source to ohsomeNow stats API.

Tasking Manager tool provides high level OpenStreetMap contribution metrics under three sections:

  • Home page metrics
  • Individual user statistics under My Contributions section
  • Individual Project metrics tracked using OpenStreetMap hashtag information

Data points for these three sections currently comes from two different sources:

  • Missing Maps Leaderboard API - for all OpenStreetMap related metrics eg: buildings mapped, kms of highways mapped, number of changesets
  • Tasking Manager backend - for task statistics eg: number of tasks mapped/validated, project contribution across countries, causes contributed to

Leaderboard API has not been functional since mid-September 2023 affecting the data availability for Tasking Manager. Due to this, you might have seen most of the OpenStreetMap data points indicated as 0 within Tasking Manager.

With this release, we will switch to ohsomeNow Stats API as a source for all OpenStreetMap statistics ✨. You will be able to see all the updated stats under My Contributions section. Points of interest mapped and km road mapped are reflected with - as the data is not being updated. We will be looking at updating these in the future.
