XNatura Platform
The latest news from the XNatura platform
Every feature, improvement, and fix we release, told day by day in a simple and clear way.
Richer reports and legal limits on the air
The Report Builder gains new tables that fill in from the site's data and descriptive texts generated by artificial intelligence that adapt to each site. On the air-quality chart you can now show the legal-limit lines, while several fixes make the map, the calendar and the sensor list more reliable.
Environmental stations and the new Biolago element
New air-quality and noise stations among the sensors, the new Biolago element on the map and in the regeneration impact, period selectors for the Birdy and Spectrum sensors, the connection of the platform to AI assistants and more accurate camera-trap counts.
Crop labels aligned on imported maps
When you import a map with multiple crops, the point labels now line up correctly even when nearby points are spread apart to keep them readable.
Map filters always fully visible
We fixed the position of the fixed filters on the Monitoring map, which now always stay fully visible just below the notices bar, with no overlaps.
Public report template and a tidier map
A public, demo version of the Report Builder makes its debut, the Nature & Climate template you can explore without logging in. We also hid the editing commands on read-only shared sites, on top of renewing the map toolbar and refining the shared sites. In the Report Builder you can now choose templates valid for the whole platform or for a single site, with the library reorganized into groups.
Sites shared between companies and reports in more languages
From today you can view read-only the sites that other companies share with you, filter the map between all sites and your own, and generate reports in French, German and Spanish too. We have also made the pollinator activity variation clearer and polished several details in Census and Overview.
More reliable page loading and WebGIS geoprocessing
We have made opening the platform pages more reliable, so they no longer get stuck on a 'page not found' message after a temporary glitch, and we have made the WebGIS geoprocessing operations more solid, so they consistently update the existing layer.
Perimeter being generated and clearer crop editor
When you create a new site by uploading a file, the map now clearly shows the processing status while the perimeter is being generated. The crop assignment editor also becomes more readable thanks to a header that always stays visible at the top of the list.
Carbon stock map more stable
We have fixed an issue that, in some particular cases, could interrupt the loading of the page when the carbon stock layer was enabled on the map. Now the map and all the site information always stay stable and consultable.
Period filter on the charts and a richer report builder
A period filter arrives on the Vegetation Health (NDVI) and surface temperature (LST) charts, along with new tools in the report builder, including image resizing, underlined text and an optional title for maps. The PDF export of reports, the clarity of the weather and climate charts, the reliability of the map and its layers and the button labels in the Regeneration section all improve too.
Multi-crop land use and a tidier census
Multi-crop assignment arrives in the land-use editor, with file import in several formats, automatic crop matching and AI suggestions, while the Census groups consecutive sessions of the same species. The accuracy of the land-use map, the Metrics tabs, the Census counts, monitoring performance and the editor interface all improve too.
New temperature chart and CSV export of data
A new chart of land surface temperature over time and the CSV export of vegetation and temperature data arrive, together with a banner that flags what's new in monitoring. The report AI Text, the aggregated view for sites with many parcels, the gauge chart labels and the visibility of land-use layers for public visitors all improve too.
GeoPackage upload for new sites and gallery filters
You can create sites by uploading GeoPackage and GeoJSON files and merge several areas into one, while a redesigned transect editor, land-use classification versions and a legend on pollinator activity arrive. Gallery filters, a report cover image, a more polished layer picker and a clearer risks section are also added.
Unified sensor cards and a field journal for transects
The sensor cards on the map are now unified and the markers clearer, transects gain a true field journal with photos and notes, while tidier map controls, device battery status, area-file uploads up to 64 MB and better-paginated report tables also arrive.
New mount markers on the map
The monitoring mount markers on the map have a new capsule shape and directly show the sensor state and the target species, so you can check the monitoring network at a glance.
Transect area calculation in Field Mode
Field Mode now automatically calculates the surface area of transects, checks the connection before the most delicate actions and introduces clearer confirmation panels with notices when you are offline.
Time-of-day window in charts and a text editor in reports
You can filter data by time of day and compare several trends together, while the report generator adds a visual text editor; we also fix the API usage count, the grids on Firefox and scrolling on the monitoring page.
Self-service API keys and place search on the map
You can manage your API keys yourself from the settings, search for places and coordinates on the map, download the census charts and use a new layer on agricultural land use, while reports, the observations gallery and navigation between sites become more solid.
Placeholder blocks in reports and a link to the guide
The report generator introduces placeholder blocks that fill themselves in with site data, a button arrives to open the documentation from the site toolbar, and the polygon editor becomes smoother and more precise.
Assign multiple species to the same observation
You can now assign multiple species to the same observation and request a new mount directly from the sensors map, while the Updates page is enriched with images and the installed app opens straight onto your area.
Offline Field Mode and bird-listening verification
Field Mode works offline and installs on your smartphone, the bird acoustic verifier arrives, photos and videos with one tap from the map, the data plan usage widget, self-service sensor connection and several fixes.
New Field Mode for smartphone surveys
Field Mode debuts for smartphone surveys, map notes welcome photos and attachments, the filter for observations still to classify arrives and charts and methodologies become clearer and more transparent.
Sensor battery status and georeferenced map notes
Every sensor now shows battery, last transmission and last data received, georeferenced notes arrive on the site map and the risk analysis becomes deeper with per-process sensitivity.
Report builder with ready-to-use templates
The report builder gains ready-to-use templates and real data, the embeddable indicators widget no longer shows empty boxes, the overview impact indicators always load and the risk legends become clearer.
Multilingual mobile profile and more stable biodiversity map
The Batty bat sensor arrives, along with perimeter editing from the census map and a more complete sensors list, together with fixes to the mobile profile, the biodiversity map, the impact values and the public pages.
New map layers and clearer weather data
We added new layers to the map, improved the order in which they are shown, made the weather figures cleaner, fixed the hourly pollinator heatmap and introduced company SSO sign-in.
Recovery codes and sub-polygon selection from the map
We introduced the management of recovery codes for two-step verification, selecting sub-polygons with a click on the map, the precipitation percentage in the sites table, and a calmer experience while generating reports.
Fixes to carbon stock, acoustic sensors and census
We made the carbon-stock KPI consistent on sub-polygons, added an easy way to exit the Pixel Inspector, and sped up the activity data of acoustic sensors.
More intuitive area selection and renewal fixes
We made selecting areas on the map smoother, improved the two-step verification experience, fixed reading of sensor data, and kept the census filters always visible.
Time series and area sampling on the map
We enriched the Pixel Inspector with an over-time trend chart for each point, added sampling of entire areas on the map and custom period averages, along with several refinements.
Pixel Inspector and new period panels on maps
We introduced the new panels to choose periods and ranges on the maps, the Pixel Inspector tool to read point values, cleaner layer thumbnails, and the ability to embed any layer.
New map toolbar and time-based gallery
We redesigned the map toolbar, made the layer picker smarter, added the time gallery for multi-date maps, and improved the census, post-purchase onboarding, and the filters on site progress.
New WebGIS flow to apply maps and polygons to your site
A day full of news: the new WebGIS flow to apply maps and polygons to sites, the guided procedure for land-class colors, clearer messages about available features, and new options in the site settings.
Two-step verification by email and polygons from the map
We introduced two-step verification via email, a new button to create polygons directly from the site map, and improved the activation flow and guided steps.
Clearer Land Use section and fixed WebGIS menu
We tidied up the Land Use section by hiding unnecessary panels and labels, and fixed a duplicated entry in the Monitoring sidebar.
