Exporting Data

Overview

Soarvo supports exporting both project-level and location-level data. Exports are useful for backup, sharing with stakeholders outside Soarvo, or migrating data between projects.

ℹ️ Who can export: Administrators and Project Managers can export both projects and locations. Project Supervisors can export their assigned locations. Editors and Viewers cannot export.

Exporting Project Settings

This export captures the project's configuration — name, category, coordinate system, measurement system, and metadata — useful for re-creating a similar project structure or for audit records.

From the home screen, click the ⋮ on the project card.
Select Export Project Settings.
The configuration is downloaded to your browser's default downloads folder.

Choose CSV, GeoJSON, or another supported format when exporting.

Exporting a Location

Location export downloads the data inside a location — features, attribute tables, and where supported the underlying datasets.

From the home screen, click the ⋮ on the location card.
Select Export.
Follow the prompts to choose what to include (the available options depend on the data types in that location).
The export is prepared and downloaded once ready.

⚠️ Note: Very large raw datasets (multi-GB point clouds, 3D meshes) may not be exportable in a single download. For bulk data retrieval, contact Soarvo support.

Exporting Individual Layers

To export a single layer rather than the whole location:

Open the location in the Data Viewer.
In the Layers panel, click the ⋮ next to the layer name.
Choose Export or Download if available for that layer type.
