Dexter Tracker's Image Export Tool provides a quick and easy solution for creating screenshots and reports.
In this section, we'll discuss the workflow and capabilities of the Image Export Tool.
Accessing the Image Export Tool
To access the Image Export Tool, select the "camera" icon from the toolbar on the right side of the map.
Utilizing the Image Export Tool
There are 2 different workflows for using the Image Export Tool.
- Image exports without exposures plotted
- Image exports with exposures plotted
Image Exports Without Exposures
If you simply want a screenshot of the storm tracks, you can export an .PNG image without exposures plotted.
Workflow:
- Track a storm
- Select the Image Export Tool icon
- Draw a square/rectangle of the area you wish to capture (see info box below for more details)
- Once your shape is complete, the image will automatically export to your computer
To draw your square or rectangle for the image capture, select a point on the map and click. Then drag the cursor (without clicking) and the selected area will illuminate in red (as shown in the image below). Once you have achieved the shape that you desire, simply click on the map to close the shape.
Image Exports With Exposures
Dexter's exposure overlay provides key details about the exact proximity of your exposures to a storm but also important data such as total insured value (TIV).
Utilizing the Image Export Tool with exposures plotted provides the option of creating a:
- PNG Image
- PDF Report
The PDF report will include a screenshot of the storm tracks and the key exposure data
The PNG image will simply be an image of the storm tracks and exposure plots only (no TIV, etc.).
Workflow of Creating a PNG Image with Exposures
- Track a storm
- Plot exposures
- Select the Image Export Tool icon
- Draw a square/rectangle of the area you wish to capture
- Once your shape is complete, Dexter will provide an option to select a PNG image or PDF report
- Select PNG Image, then EXPORT to export the image to your computer
The image below is an example of the image export output from a June 2018 hail storm with exposures plotted within a 15 mile radius of Des Moines, Iowa.
Workflow of Creating a PDF Report with Exposures
- Track a storm
- Plot exposures
- Select the Image Export Tool icon
- Draw a square/rectangle of the area you wish to capture
- Once your shape is complete, Dexter will provide an option to select a PNG image or PDF report
- Select PDF Report, then EXPORT
- Once your report is complete, select DOWNLOAD REPORT
The images below are an example of the PDF report that was created for a June 2018 hail storm with exposures plotted within a 15 mile radius of Des Moines, Iowa. The report includes an image of the storm tracks with your exposures plotted, as well as the key exposure data (insured location count, TIV, etc.)
