How data is structured – Projects and Locations

With SOARVO, we structure your data as Projects and Locations

Projects

Think of a Project as a collection of Locations that share a common thread.

It could be the same client, the same type of survey, or the same asset type.

Locations

A Location is a specific site that can host multiple datasets.

For instance, one Location might include an orthomosaic, several point clouds, a mesh, and more.

Note. Each location within a project must use the same co-ordinate system.

Creating Projects and Locations

Once you have logged into Soarvo – click the New Project button to begin creating a space to load data

Lets begin with the Project Details

Give your project a name, select its Project Category, appropriate co-ordinate system the data has been stored in, and select your measurement units.

Projects can have a category based on what type of data you wish to load into it, to make it easily identifiable on the Home Screen. Choose from General, Drone, Survey, Mobile Mapping or GIS.

Now for the Location Details

You can click the Check Box to create a new location at the same time as the project.

Give the location a name and click the map icon next to Co-ordinates

This allows you to choose the general location of the site that can be displayed on a map

You can click the search icon in the top right hand corner of that window to search for an address, postcode or landmark

Once you have clicked the location on the map, the Latitude and Longitude will be entered in the form. This is so the Location has a general reference on the map view.

Then click next to continue

Choose a Blank Project and then click Go to Project

You will then see the Location in the directory. Click on it to begin uploading data

The home screen displays the directory view of the Projects and Locations

However you can also switch to a Map view at the top of the screen to see the Locations on a map
