Whether you're a surveyor looking to export a processed point cloud or a data analyst looking to extract the details of the thermal anomalies identified on a solar site, the Sitemark Fuse platform offers different methods to export the data and analytics. This article will show you the different methods available as a platform user.
Exporting
Once your operation has been completed, you can access the operation results and the export options available on the platform. You will find the Export function in the top left of your screen after opening the result of the operation.
Exporting a report
Exporting a report is available for all data products on the Sitemark Fuse platform.
When exporting a report, you will have several options on how to customize your report. For example, you can
include annotations, which means that you add any annotations that have been made to the report, for example, the volume measurements, or
include thermal anomalies, which means that you add each thermal anomaly in a page-by-page breakdown to your report. Each page will contain the RGB & the thermal photo of the identified anomaly and a table containing all of the properties for that specific anomaly (eg Delta temperature, Loss estimation etc). 💡 Thermal anomalies are only available in the Solar Inspection Pro or Essential data products.
Tips
It is also possible to include additional information added by the user to your report, such as solar panel or string references and much more. You can enter that extra information by editing that specific anomaly from the thermal anomalies layer in the 2D view on the Sitemark Fuse platform.
You can choose to include or exclude certain properties from the report by clicking on the settings for thermal anomalies.
Selecting Apply filters will allow you to create custom reports using the active filters you have selected in the 2D view of your operation result. For example, suppose you want only to see the hotspots with a delta temperature greater than 25℃. In that case, you could set that as an active filter, and then the report would only contain those specific anomalies fitting those filter settings.
Share Link
The share link feature will allow you to share the results of an operation with someone who does not have a user account on your platform. By sending this link to that external people, they will have view-only access to the results of that specific operation. They can see the interactive layers in the 2D view, use the Filter option, create a report, or download the data layers. Still, they will not be able to edit any data or make any measurements or annotations.
You can also apply filters to your share links to provide a specific data view. You can use your saved filters to share certain parts of your analysis quickly, utilizing multiple share links to share your findings.

Layer Downloads
Depending on the data product for the operation, the layer export feature allows you to export different data layers from the platform in a multitude of formats.
In the Layer Downloads menu, you can choose which data layer you would like to export as well as customising the data to be exported.
More information on exporting data and the formats it can be exported in can be found here.
Integrations
Sitemark established a seamless integration with Fulcrum's field application. The Field App is the outcome of the software integration with the mobile field solution from Fulcrum. Sitemark Fuse platform allows you to export the thermal anomalies of a Solar Inspection Pro or Essential product.
In fact, you will be able to send the filtered anomalies from the platform to the mobile app, so that the field technician does not need any pen and paper anymore. They can easily locate themselves on-site, navigate to the specific solar panel anomaly and add relevant data to the digital records, while being on site.
When you are interested in start using the Field App integration, please go through the Field App Setup article.
