Draw/Select an AOI
The AOI dashboard display a set of button and menus allowing the user to create and manage his/her areas of interest.
To create an AOI, click on the icon in the top-right corner of the map [dark grey square]
and draw a rectangle over the area you want to retrieve flood information about.
Once done, the system will update showing the following message
Then fill up the form with a name and a description (optional)
and save the AOI pressing the button CREATE AOI
The system will then add this AOI to the list below if other AOIs have been drawn before.
Through the buttons
users can further edit (pencil-like icon) or delete (bin-shaped icon) each AOI of the list.
When editing, users may change the rectangle dimensions or to drag it rigidly (i.e., not chnaging its shape) across the map.
Product selection
Once the AOI has been drawn/selected the system will automatically display the latest available dataset for each of the 11 product output layers.
AOIs might be searched through the text box or by scrolling down the list (if other AOIs have been drawn before).
By clicking on a product output layer, users will be then allowed to select as many timesteps as the system is storing for that specific layer.

To further refine the research, users can set a range of dates: the system will then display only the available PRODUCTS within the desired timespan.
