Case analyses tab
This topic describes the Case analyses tab on the Analysis results view, which by default is located at the left of the ESPA analysis center screen.
This feature requires your account to be configured with the ESPA analysis center screen.
The Case analyses tab displays all the analyses results detailed below. It also allows you to save separately your current map view, Data view selections, and your cell coverage map configuration.
It also displays a Favorites folder and a Saved narratives folder. The Favorites folder is where cell coverage results you have selected that have significant importance are added to. You select the favorite cell coverage results on the Cell coverage tab. The Saved narratives folder contains all the narratives saved by the case creator and case assignees. The Favorites and Saved narratives folders cannot be renamed, deleted, or have items other than the favorite cell coverage results or narratives saved to their respective folders.
When a cell footprint analysis completes it creates the following outputs:
- Analysis log: which details any warnings or errors that occurred during the analysis.
- Cell coverage: which allows you to open the Cell coverage tab to display on the map the cell coverage and labels detected in the drive test and the cell tower details selected for the analysis.
- Google earth export: this output is not generated by default but can be generated if you select it in the Advanced tab of the Cell footprint analysis dialog box prior to running your cell footprint analysis. This output allows you to download the same information that is available from the Cell coverage map and view it on Google Earth.
This feature requires option E4 Phone data/analytics. If you do not have this option then you cannot run a link analysis.
When a link analysis completes it creates the following outputs:
- Analysis log: which details a summary of the analysis.
- Link analyses: which opens the Link analysis tab to display the results of the analysis.
If you have more than one location in your case associated with geofence or tower dump files then a default target development analysis is automatically displayed on this tab. This analysis is named "Target development analysis default". Right-click on the output and select Open to display the data on the Target development view. You can also save your own target development analysis with your selected devices of interest on the Target development preview tab, which can also be viewed using the same process as for the default analysis.
This feature requires option E6 Public records data. If you do not have this option then you cannot request a CLEAR or Whooster match.
When a CLEAR or Whooster match request completes it creates the following output:
- Analysis log: which details a summary of the analysis.
This feature requires option E12 WiFi data/analytics. If you do not have this option then you cannot run a WiFi analysis.
When a WiFi analysis completes it creates the following outputs:
- Analysis log: which details any warnings or errors that occurred during the analysis. It also details the boundaries of the analysis area and the selected input parameters it was run on.
- WiFi clients: which details a summary of the WiFi clients including the SSID, MAC address and Client MAC address.
- WiFi clients location: which details the WiFi clients including the date, SSID, MAC address, Client MAC address and latitide/longitude.
- WiFi unassociated clients: which details the unassociated clients MAC address.
- WiFi unassociated clients location: which details the unassociated clients date, MAC address and latitide/longitude.
- WiFi coverage: which allows you to open the WiFi coverage tab to display the results of the analysis.
When a GAR snapshot has been downloaded into OSS-ESPA it creates a Snapshot Export folder which contains all the snapshots that you download into OSS-ESPA using the Download GAR Snapshot Report dialog box. From here, you can download in both .html and .csv format, and rename or delete the file.
For further information refer to Downloading a GAR snapshot analysis created using the GAR software.
When a GAR snapshot analysis completes it creates the following outputs:
-
Analysis log: which details any warnings or errors that occurred during the analysis. It also details the boundaries of the analysis area and the selected input parameters it was run on.
-
Download: you can download an .html file which allows you to review the results of a snapshot analysis that you run using the Snapshot GAR analysis dialog box. The .html file also allows you to view the results in a .csv format.
For further information refer to Snapshot GAR analysis dialog box.
This feature requires option E7 Advanced CDRs. If you do not have this option this feature is not available.
When a precision location analysis completes it creates the following outputs:
- Map: this is for information only, it indicates that there is a saved map associated with the analysis. These open automatically when you open the Precision Loc result.
- Analysis log: which details a summary of the analysis.
- Precision Loc: which loads the map with the default analysis and opens the Precision location tab.
When a Google Earth Timeline export completes it creates the following outputs:
- Download: This output allows you to download the currently selected map layers to a KML format that you can then use in Google Earth. The same layers are exported as with Export map to Google Earth, however this export places the data into a timeline folder which allows you to adjust the timeline slider in Google Earth to display all the activity during a specific time-frame.
- Analysis log: which details a summary of the export.
Click to open or close the view. You can also click and drag the view border to change the view size.
Click to add a folder. Once your folder is added you can click it to save the current map view to it.
Click to display a list of all the tabs that are currently open on the Analysis results view. This is useful if you have a lot of tabs open as it provides an alternative method to select that tabs rather than locating them by scrolling along them.
The Name displayed for the analysis is the name you entered in Report name on either the Cell footprint analysis, Link analysis, Tower analysis or WiFi footprint analysis dialog box.
For some results you cannot define the name:
- For a CLEAR or Whooster match request you cannot define the name at the time you request the match and by default it is named "CLEAR Match Request" or "Whooster Match Request" along with the date and time the match was requested.
-
If you have geofence or tower dump files in your case then a default target development analysis is automatically displayed and by default is named "Target development analysis default".
Note, you can rename an analysis by clicking it and selecting Rename analysis. The names for the individual results can also be changed by clicking it and selecting Rename output.
The State is displayed for the top level folder of each analysis and is either:
- Requested: indicates that you have requested the analysis and your request has been logged but not yet been placed in the queue for processing. The amount of time before it enters the queue is dependent on the number of previous requests have been processed.

- Coverage: indicates that the result contains the cell coverage maps generated from a cell coverage analysis. You can then open these results in the Cell coverage tab and select which cell coverage results you want displayed on the map.
- Download: indicates that the result can be downloaded and used in another tool, for example Google Earth.
- Map: indicates that the result is a map that you configured and saved using Save map view.
