Projects are the primary building block of POLLUTEv8 and are used to encapsulate all the data in the application. The sections below describe how to manage projects, import data into projects, and export data from projects.

 

The initial display of POLLUTEv8 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 web map service. 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. 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.
