DataBuffer Tool
Generating buffered species alert layers
What is the DataBuffer
Tool?
An easy to use, flexible tool to
generate ‘species alert’ layers
based on species data held by
the LERC
Species data can be buffered,
combined and dissolved as
required to create data that is
easy for partners to use and
interpret
Fully integrated into your GIS
system as a menu item
Fully configurable to suit your
organisation’s requirements
Compatible with MapInfo
(ArcGIS and QGIS versions can
be developed)
What do the outputs look like?
In order to simplify large numbers of records for each input layer, outputs can be ‘Combined’ when multiple
records exist within the same location, or ‘Clustered’ when within a specified distance of each other
Spatial output in native GIS format (platform dependent)
Each output layer can be fully configured with custom symbology
Spatial output is added to the GIS interface
A log file automatically documents the process for auditing purposes
Automates spatial
data searches
How does it work?
The tool integrates with your GIS, where it accesses the data layers you wish to use
A log file is kept of the process
Information about how to buffer and cluster the data layer is contained in an XML
configuration document. This information includes:
• Which data layers to make available
• Which columns to include in the output layer
• Subsets of records to include or exclude from each data layer
• Which columns to group the records by in the output layer
• Buffer distances and dissolve distances for each data layer
• Symbology to apply to the output layer

What are the advantages to me?
Save time through the automation of a routine manual task
Standardise the process as well as the outputs, reducing the risk of
user error
Obtain consistent results through the use of a central configuration
file
Explore ‘what if’ scenarios easily and quickly
Make data creation easily repeatable and automatically documented
Fully documented user guide in online and PDF formats
How to I get the tool?
