How Soarvo structures data (Projects, Locations & Features)
How Projects, Locations, and Features fit together.
Everything in Soarvo lives inside a Location, and every Location belongs to a Project. This two-level structure makes it easy to organise, share, and navigate data.
Projects
A Project groups related Locations — the answer to: "What do these sites have in common?"
Common structures:
- By client — all sites for one client
- By asset type — bridge surveys in one project, highway inspections in another
- By survey type — drone captures separate from mobile mapping
- By region — UK sites separate from Ireland
At creation, choose a category (General, Drone, Survey, Mobile Mapping, or GIS), a coordinate system, and measurement units.
Locations
A Location is a specific site within a project, holding datasets — orthomosaics, point clouds, 3D meshes, GIS layers, and features.
A single location can hold multiple dataset types — for example, an orthomosaic, point cloud, elevation model, and feature layers for the same site.
Each location has a map pin placed at creation for the Map view — a navigation reference only.
Sharing at Project or Location Level
Share data at either level:
- Share a Project — grants access to the project and all its locations
- Share a Location — grants access to that location only
