Organizational structure

Site Scan Manager is organized around a hierarchical structure for managing, accessing, capturing, and sharing data. The following are the four tiers in this hierarchy:

  • Organization—You are assigned an organization when you initially purchase Site Scan. An organization provides a secure way for you to manage, organize, and share data through its Site Scan account. Each organization can include an unlimited number of projects and missions, and store an unlimited amount of drone data. You can be a member of multiple organizations.
  • Project—All the drone data and information related to a specific geographic location are organized in projects. A project can contain flight plans, missions including their images and processed outputs, ground control points (GCPs), overlay files, processing settings, and a list of members who have access to the project.
  • Mission—A mission is the container for all the images and processed data products for a data capture session. A single mission may have more than one flight. You can view results of a mission using Site Scan Manager, and the outputs can be exported or published to ArcGIS Online or ArcGIS Enterprise for further analysis.
  • Flight—A flight is an entire event, from drone takeoff to landing. One or more flights can compose a mission. Flight records are shown in the Fleet Management portion of Site Scan Manager. Flight records contain information about the data capture events such as the pilot, aircraft, batteries, and weather.
