Managing the data sets in a project

Step 0: Load the project

Before you can make changes to the data sets used by the project, you need to load the project.

Step 1: Navigate to the data sets overview page

by clicking on the Data sets button in the left navigation bar

Step 2: Discover which data sets are included in project

The data sets overview page lists all the data sets to which you have access.

The available data sets are divided in 3 groups:

  • PROJECT DATA SETS: shows the data sets that are currently included in the project, if any

  • YOUR DATA SETS: lists all the data sets in your account created by any member of your team. This includes both the data sets included in the current project, and ones which aren’t included.

  • SAMPLE DATA SETS: these are example data sets that you can use in your own projects.

The data sets which are currently used by the project are all grouped on the PROJECT DATA SETS tab. When accessing another tab like for example the YOUR DATA SETS tab, the card of an included data set has a blue indication on the left side.

Step 3: Find the data set you want to add to or remove from the project

Browse through the available data sets and find the card of the data set you want to add to or remove from the project.

Use the search box at the top of the page

To make it easier to find the data set you are looking for, you can:

  • Use the search box at the top of the page to filter the list.

  • And/or use the sort button next to the search box to sort the data sets alphabetically on their name

Step 4: Add or remove the data set from/to the project using the attach/detach button

Click on the Attach button on the right bottom of the data set card to add the data set to the project.

If the data set is already added to the project, you can click the Detach button to remove it from the project.

Detaching a data set can hide it from the UI

The PROJECT DATA SETS tab is very convenient if you want to detach a data set from the project, as it only lists the currently included data sets.

The moment you press the Detach button on a card, the data set will be removed from the project and hence no longer appear on that tab.

That doesn’t mean the data set is removed from your account, but simply that it’s no longer included in the project. you will still find it on the YOUR DATA SETS or SAMPLE DATA SETS tab.
Adding or removing data sets doesn’t affect the data set itself

Adding (attaching) or removing (detaching) a data set from/to a project doesn’t affect the data set in any way. It only creates or removes a relationship between the data set and the project.

For example, detaching a data set from the project won’t delete the data set itself. It will only remove the relationship between the data set and the project.

Managing the background layers in a project

Step 0: Load the project

Before you can make changes to the background layers used by the project, you need to load the project.

Step 1: Navigate to the background layers overview page

by clicking on the Background layers button in the left navigation bar

Managing the areas of interest in a project

Step 0: Load the project

Before you can make changes to the areas of interest used by the project, you need to load the project.

Step 1: Navigate to the areas of interest overview page

by clicking on the Areas of interest button in the left navigation bar

The available areas of interest are divided in 3 groups:

  • PROJECT AREAS OF INTEREST: shows the areas of interest that are currently included in the project, if any

  • YOUR AREAS OF INTEREST: lists all the areas of interest in your account created by any member of your team. This includes both the areas of interest included in the current project, and ones which aren’t included.

  • SAMPLE AREAS OF INTEREST: these are example areas of interest used in the example projects.

The areas of interest which are currently used by the project are all grouped on the PROJECT AREAS OF INTEREST tab. When accessing another tab like for example the YOUR DATA SETS tab, the card of an included area of interest has a blue indication on the left side.

Managing the data stores in a project

The steps are identical to how you manage data sets in the project, except that you use the Data Stores button instead of the Data Sets button.
