Creating a Location

Overview

A Location is a specific physical site inside a project. It holds your actual datasets. You need an existing project before creating a location. Only Administrators and Project Managers can create locations.

Creating a Location with a New Project

The fastest way to set up a location is to create it at the same time as a new project:

1. On the home screen, click the + New Project card.
2. Fill in the Project Details on the left (see Creating a Project).
3. On the right, tick the Create a location checkbox in the Location Details column.
4. Enter a Location name.
5. For Co-ordinates, either:
   • Type latitude and longitude values directly into the fields, or
   • Click the map icon next to Co-ordinates to open a map picker. Search for an address, postcode, or landmark, then click the map to drop a pin.
6. Click Go to Project in the bottom-right to save.

Adding a Location to an Existing Project

To add another location to a project you already created, open the project from the home screen and use the new-location action inside it. The Location name and Co-ordinates fields are the same as above.

Location Menu Options

Click the ⋮ (three dots) on any location card to access:

• Share — give other users access to this location
• Settings — rename, change co-ordinates, or update other location 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
