4-2. Specifying layer units

Layers that show numeric values, such as Above Ground Biomass (AGB), are much easier to understand when the units are displayed in the legend and in data-value pop-ups. This exercise adds units to the AGB layer and checks how they appear in the Explorer.

  1. Open Preview for your configuration and toggle on the Above Ground Biomass layer.

  2. Look at the legend. Notice that the value labels do not include any units.

  3. Now select the Data values tab and click on a few locations in the dataset to inspect its pixel values. Notice that the values also lack units.

  4. Select Back to Config Builder to return to the configuration.

  5. Open the Above Ground Biomass layer card and select the pencil icon next to the Units and Legend field. Enter the units as:

    tonnes / ha
    Then Save the layer card.

  6. Open Preview again and toggle on the Above Ground Biomass layer. Check how the legend and the data values display now. Both of them should include the tonnes / ha units.
