How to create a demo of the XNatura platform? The steps to follow, guided by demonstration videos

First step to generate a demo of the XNatura platform: create an account

Did you know that you can generate a demo of the XNatura platform for completely free? This is your opportunity to discover the interface, test its functionalities, and explore some of the environmental KPIs analyzed on a site of your interest.

The first, simple step to create your demo is to register for an account:

1. Access the website www.xnatura.com.
2. Click the “Try now” button.
3. Fill out the form with the company details, entering the email and password you wish to use.

Once your account is created, you will be ready to proceed with the next step: defining the polygon of the site to be analyzed.

Second step to generate a demo of the XNatura platform: create the polygon of your site with KML file

After creating the account, the next step is to accurately identify your site on the map. By defining the area of the asset and the surrounding Control Area, you will be able to start generating environmental data.

To define the perimeter of your site, you have two options: upload a KML file or draw the perimeter manually.

Let’s see how to proceed through the uploading of a KML file:

1. From the main page of the platform, click on “Create new site” (a pop-up will open).
2. Enter the required data: the name of the site, the reference year, and the address to locate the area on the map.
3. Click on “Add Polygon”: at this point, you can directly upload the KML file of your site to the platform. This will automatically generate the perimeter.
4. Give a name to this version of the site and save the operation.

Once saved, the platform will be active: your site, along with its Control Area, will be created. At this point, you can proceed with the generation of environmental data. (If you need to know how to create a KML file, consult the next section).

Focus: how to generate a KML file?

The KML file is the ideal tool to accurately define the polygon of the site to be analyzed on the XNatura platform.

But how do you generate a KML file? The process is very simple: the most common tool for this operation is Google Earth, which allows you to create KML files with relative ease.

In the video below, all the key steps for generating your KML file are shown.

Alternative second step to generate a demo of the XNatura platform: create the polygon of your site by manually drawing your polygon

If you do not have a KML file, you can still create your site by drawing the polygon manually on the map.

The steps to follow are as follows:

1. From the main page of the platform, click on “Create new site” (a pop-up will open).
2. Enter the required data: the name of the site, the reference year, and the address to locate the area on the map.
3. At this point, instead of clicking on “Add Polygon”, click on the drawing icons you find on the left. You can then freely trace the perimeter of the site to be analyzed.
4. Give a name to this version of the site and save the operation.

Once saved, the platform will be active: your site, along with its Control Area, will be created. Now you can proceed with the generation of environmental data.
