Understanding the home screen
Find your way around projects, locations, views, and account settings.
Overview
The home screen is your starting point — access projects and locations, switch views, and reach account settings.
Directory View
Two sections appear by default:
- Projects — your accessible projects as cards, each with a category icon
- Locations — all locations across all projects, as cards
Click a project card to see its locations; click a location card to open it in the Map Window.
Each card has a ⋮ menu for Share, Edit, and Delete (options vary by role).
Map View
Click Map in the header to see all locations plotted as pins. Click a pin to open that location.
Project Categories
The category chosen at project creation sets a colour-coded icon on the card:
