Planet Basemap Improved Naming With GEE delivery

It is great to have basemap function added to Planet’s GEE delivery. I noted two issues that could be improved to better use the basemap function.

If no tools (e.g., clip, were applied when order basemap, the asset name delivered to GEE will be same across different dates (XXX-XXXX_quad). It would be nice to have the date added to filename. This echos partially with this idea: https://community.planet.com/ideas/bulk-downloads-and-improved-naming-with-the-basemap-viewer-261.

If tools were applied, the asset name would then be “ps_biweekly_visual_subscription_2023-04-17_2023-05-01_mosaic_merge_clip_$orderid\”. This would cause error since GEE import API only allows at most 100 characters.

Thank you for submitting an idea, it is under review and open for discussion and voting. This is the investigation stage when we gather more information.

I just wanted to note that I’ve run into this too, in my case ordering basemaps to GEE were hindered because the characters for some basemap categories exceed the limited 100 characters for assets in GEE.
