- It is now possible to share your data searches and plots with someone else, even if you created them without being logged in. Regardless of whether you are logged in or not you can share the URL of your search; we call this a "deep link" URL. When this URL is pasted into a browser it will open the search tree to the same branch as the original, and in some cases that will also include the date range you selected. This applies to the following web pages:
- Data Search - applies to Step 1 of Data Search so does not include a time range or data product selection.
- Data Preview - includes the data display tab selected (Day, Month, etc)
- Plotting Utility - includes the sensor and time range. Note that if you have more than one plot, the deep link will only apply to the most recent plot that you added. As a logged-in user it is still possible to save your plots, then share the "reference link", which will include all of your plots.
- Hydrophone Viewer - includes the device and date.
Data Preview
- Improved the performance of loading the Data Preview page.
Plotting Utility
- A new "Sort by" option has been added, called "Variables by Location". Some refer to this as a "primary sensor" search. You first select a location, then a variable (for example an ocean property such as Salinity).If there is more than one sensor at that location that can measure the same property, the sensor defined as the "primary sensor" will be used. This is the sensor that is the most accurate of the sensors available. It is possible that the primary sensor can change over the time range of a plot and this is indicated by different colours. This feature will soon also be available in Data Preview and Data Search.

- Without logging in, it is now possible to make a plot in Plotting Utility, copy the URL, send it to someone else who can paste the URL into their browser and see the same plot. This includes the same date range.
Data Preview
- Added links to Plotting Utility for each sensor (at the Instrument level in the Summary tab). These links open Plotting Utility, open the tree to the same sensor, and make a plot using the "all available" timeframe.
- If no data is available to be displayed, an empty plot will now be shown with the words "No data found for the selected time range" in the middle of the plot area.
