The initial display of GaeaSynergy will consist of a basemap (or project list) and sidebars on the left and right. The basemap shows your existing projects and any GIS data contained in the basemap. To the left of the basemap, the sidebar usually shows a list of your projects. And  the right sidebar usually shows a list of layers in the basemap and an index map. Prior to use projects must either be created or imported. After this they can be selected from the basemap or sidebar and edited.

 

On the project tree sidebar, projects can be grouped into categories and subcategories. These groupings can be used to sort projects by things such as year, office, and client. In addition, there is a Data Specific category. This category is used to create projects that have specific types of data. The creation and editing of these categories and subcategories is described in the section on editing project categories below. In addition, the most recently opened projects are grouped at the top of the project tree.

 

Projects can be assigned to a category or subcategory when they are created or edited.
