How Soarvo structures data (Projects, Locations & Features)

How Projects, Locations, and Features fit together.

👤Overview

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.

⚠️ Note: Important: All Locations within a Project must use the same coordinate system. If you have data in different coordinate systems for the same site, reproject before uploading or use separate projects and locations.

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
💡 Tip: Share at project level when a client needs all sites. For different teams on different sites, share individual locations.
