Site Scan is organized by projects. Each project represents a site, and contains all missions, ground control points (GCPs), processing settings and defaults, flight plans, analysis results, team member access, files, and checklists specific to the project. Projects are primarily defined by a location, because data products are generated in a coordinate system specified at the project level.
Project map view
Upon signing in, the projects you are a member of are displayed on the map and on the left bar. Project favorites (indicated by a star) appear at the top. Remaining projects are listed alphabetically.
Note:
If you have an Administrator role, you can open all projects in the organization from the project list view, but the project map only shows projects for which you are a member.
Projects are shown on the map in clusters. The numbers in each circle indicate the number of projects in that cluster. When you zoom in or click a cluster, it splits into individual circles. The project list updates to only show clusters that are visible on the map.
You can access a project by either selecting it from the list, or selecting the circle on the map.
Project list view
Organization administrators can view all projects in the organization even if they are not project members. All other users see a list of projects for which they are members. The project list view is composed of the following elements:
New Project—Create a project. See Create a project for more info.
Search—Search for a project using keywords. If the keyword does not match any of the results, the project list is arranged in alphabetical order based on the letters you enter.
Sort By—Projects can be sorted by recent activity, project creation date, and alphabetically. Recent activity is updated with each new mission.
Project Favorites—You can specify project favorites by clicking Favorite (the star to the left of the project name) for a project. Your favorite projects are shown at the top of the list. If you have multiple project favorites, they are sorted by the specified sort method. All other projects are sorted below your favorites. Project favorites are user specific, so other members of your organization cannot see the projects you choose as favorites.
Project Permission—The project permission level defines the level of access you have for each project. It is displayed next to the project name. For additional details about the user roles, see Roles, permissions, and privileges.
Project Options—There are three main project management options from the project list:
- Edit—Change information that defines a project.
- Project name
- Unit Settings
- North Angle
- Project location
- Project coordinate system
- Invite Members—Invite members to the project. Administrators can assign project access levels here.
- Delete—Delete a project permanently. Only projects that do not contain missions can be deleted.
