Query Tool
The Query Tool is a support tool in the Tygron Platform that aids the user by constructing data requests in the Tygron Query Language (TQL) and displaying the query output. By using this tool, the user can quickly verify if the data needed can be extracted from the project data with the available query elements. Also the tool allows for verification of the validity of the retrieved data. All this can be achieved without creating and uploading a dedicated Query Spread Sheet. See also: Indicator
How does the Query Tool relate to the Tygron Platform

A project in the Tygron Platform can use multiple geospatial data sources. TQL was developed to retrieve data that lacks a predefined indicator structure. Using the structure below, users can send data requests to the Tygron Platform and calculate results in an Excel Indicator.

The Query Tool provides an interface in the Editor that allows for quick creation and verification of such TQL Queries.

- The tool can also be used to create queries, which can be copied and pasted in an Excel file to be uploaded as an Excel Indicator.
- Users can also recreate queries from Excel Indicator files to verify they retrieve data from the project map.
