Buffer
How the buffer enrichment works in Kogenta Connect workflows.
A buffer creates a circular area around each point in your data. This is useful for proximity analysis - for example, finding all points of interest within a certain distance of your store locations.
How it works
- You specify which query to enrich and which columns contain latitude and longitude
- You set the buffer distance (in meters or kilometers)
- The enrichment generates a polygon (buffered geometry) around each point
- The resulting geometries are added as a new column in the output
Use cases
- Defining catchment areas around retail locations
- Identifying overlap between service areas
- Creating proximity zones for spatial analysis
Configuration
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Source query | The query whose results contain the point data |
| Latitude column | The column containing latitude values |
| Longitude column | The column containing longitude values |
| Distance | The buffer radius (e.g., 500 meters, 2 kilometers) |
| Output column | The name for the new geometry column |
