Creating a location
Add an individual site to hold your datasets.
Overview
A Location is an individualsite inside a project that holds your datasets. Only Administrators and Project Managers can create locations.
Creating a Location with a New Project
- On the home screen, click + New Project.
- Fill in the Project Details (see Creating a Project).
- Tick Create a location in the Location Details column.
- Enter a Location name.
- For Co-ordinates, type latitude/longitude directly, or click the map icon to search for an address and drop a pin.
- Click Go to Project to save.
Adding a Location to an Existing Project
Open the project from the home screen and use the new-location action. The Location name and Co-ordinates fields are identical to above.
💡 Tip: Location coordinates are a map reference point — they don't need to be exact.
✅ What happens next: The location appears in the directory. Click it to open the Data Viewer and start uploading data.
Location Menu Options
Click ⋮ (three dots) on any location card to access:
- Share — grant other users access
- Settings — rename, change co-ordinates, or update options
- Export — export the location's data
- Delete — permanently remove this location and its datasets
- Create Layer File… — add a custom WMS or tile layer (see WMS & Custom Raster Layers)
- Uploaded Files — review every file uploaded to this location
⚠️ Note: Deleting a location permanently deletes all datasets and features within it. This cannot be undone.
