The Projects page

Every measurement you make lives in a project, and every project is saved to the cloud as you work. The grid_viewProjects page lists all of them: your own and the ones others share with you. From here you open a project, create a new one, and keep them in order.

To get there, press grid_viewProjects in the dashboard menu. From inside a project, press menu (Menu) at the top left of the map and choose dashboardProjects.

Create a project#

1. Press the round add button in the bottom-right corner.
2. Choose addNew project.
3. Type a Project title (up to 50 characters) and, if you like, a Description.
4. Press Save.

The new project appears in the list, in the folder you are in. Click it to open it and start measuring. New projects are private: only you can see them until you share them. They start with your default product, if you have one.

The same button also creates a create_new_folderFolder, and, once you have templates, starts bookmarksNew project from a template: see organising projects. It is not there in the trash, nor while search results are showing.

upload_fileNew project from an .mmp file makes a project out of a Measure Map file: pick the .mmp file, check the name (the project name in the file, else the file's own name) and press Save. The project opens with what the file holds already in it, as an import brings it in. A file that is not a .mmp is refused before any project is made.

Open a project#

Click a project's card or row to open it on the map. In grid view, hover over a card and press open_in_new (Open project), or press more_horiz for its menu.

A project's menu (more_vert or more_horiz) has everything you can do with it:

• info_outlineOverview: its figures, dates and people (see below).
• titleRename, forwardMove, file_copyDuplicate, bookmark_addSave as template and delete_outlineRemove: see organising projects.
• share Share: see sharing projects.
• launchExport MMP: downloads the project as an .mmp file. See exporting.

Grid, list or map#

Press the layout button next to the sort buttons (grid_view, list or map, showing the current one) and choose:

• grid_viewGrid: a card per project, with its map picture. A card shows star Mine on your own projects, the project's access level in the top corner, and how many polygons, spots and members it has. request_quoteEstimate request marks an Open Guest project whose visitor asked for an estimate.
• listList: a row per project, with its shapes, measured area, estimate, members and when it was last opened. The heading adds up the area and the estimates of the projects listed, one total per currency.
• mapMap view: your projects on a map (see below). In an organisation it also shows the teams' territories: see see which ground each team covers.

The page remembers your choice.

Search, sort and filter#

• Search: press search (Search projects & folders) and type. The search looks through the names and descriptions of all your projects, in every folder, and shows the results as a list; in the map view, the map shows only the projects that match. Press close to clear it.
• Sort: press sort (Sort by) and choose Last open, Creation date or Title. The arrow beside it (arrow_downward or arrow_upward) turns the order round.
• Dates: the date_range From – To range in the toolbar shows only the projects created between two dates. Press close (Clear date filter) at the end of the range to show them all again.
• groupShared with me: in the more_vert menu, shows only the projects other people shared with you. A bar at the top says the filter is on; press Back to projects to leave it.

In an Enterprise organisation there is more:

• groups Filter by team shows the projects of one team. See teams and territories.
• corporate_fare All organization projects lists every project in the organisation, in one flat list. It is there for the organisation's owner and for members with the Admin or Manager role.
• They also see My Enterprise, the members of the organisation: click one to see their projects. See teams and territories for the badge that marks projects on the same site.

The map view#

mapMap view shows each project where its shapes are, from every folder. Projects close to each other are grouped into a numbered circle. The map shows what the list would: in the trash, your templates or groupShared with me, only those projects, and in the trash greyed out.

• Click a project's picture to see its card: name, access level, shapes, members and dates, with open_in_newOpen and the more_vert menu.
• Click a numbered circle to list the projects in it. Pick one to go to it, or press zoom_in (Zoom in on these).
• Drag the ends of the Date range slider to show only the projects created between two dates. restart_alt resets it.
• The buttons on the left: center_focus_strong Focus on recent goes to your latest projects, zoom_out_map Fit all projects shows them all, and my_location Near me lists the 8 projects closest to where you are (your browser asks for your location first).

A project appears on the map once it has at least one shape: an empty project has no place yet.

A project's overview#

Choose info_outlineOverview in a project's menu to see everything about it without opening it:

• its access level, name, client and description;
• its checkEstimate (with the tax, when there is any), Total area, and the number of Polygons and Spots;
• for an Open Guest project, the visitor who asked for an estimate, with their name, email, phone and message;
• when it was created, modified and last opened, and whether comments are on;
• its groupsTeams and Members, with the Owner marked.

Press open_in_newOpen project to open it. Inside a project, the same overview is under menu Menu > summarizeProject overview.

The figures on the cards and in the overview are updated whenever someone works on the project.
