A project is essentially a container that holds all the elements working towards a specific goal or analysis. It provides a way to organize and manage your work on your personal maps.

Manage projects helps to:

• Organize: Keep all your work related to a specific task in one place, making it easier to find and manage information. Moreover, each projects can have different map so you can switch between more maps only changing the project

• Collaborate: projects can be shared with colleagues, allowing for teamwork on complex tasks.

How to use

Going on the related button from the home page, you can see the project menu

• Open: opens a mask containing all the projects to which the current user has access.

• Save: Allows the current map to be saved, defining name, description and category

• Save as: Allows you to save a copy of the current project (map with layers, current extent, annotations, ...) in case you want to change the configuration without losing the original

• Rename: allows you to rename the current project.
