Project Management

The Project Management section provides an overview of all existing projects. Projects can be searched for using a search function. It is also possible to create, edit, and delete projects.

Project List

On the Project Management page, all created projects are listed. The name, description, creation date, and update date of the projects are displayed.

Search Function

Projects can be searched using a filter function by project name, description, creation date, or update date. Multiple search terms can also be entered simultaneously to further narrow the search. Clicking the Static (to the right of the search bar) executes the search with the specified criteria.

Sorting and Navigation

The list of projects can be sorted by the column headers. Clicking the Static next to the header sorts the list in ascending order, and clicking the Static sorts it in descending order.

The display elements at the bottom of the page allow navigation through the list of projects when there are more projects than can be displayed on one page. Clicking the page number or the arrows allows switching to the next or previous page.

Create Project

To create a new project, click the plus icon located on the right side of the Project Management header. A form will open, showing the fields that need to be filled in. The logged-in user is automatically assigned as project manager.

To save, click the Add button, and the created project will be automatically opened.

Clicking the button "Draw new extent on map" activates the bounding box mode, allowing the user to define a bounding box by clicking twice on the map (e.g., top-right and bottom-left corners of the bounding box). The coordinates of the bounding box are automatically adopted in EPSG 4326.

Edit and Delete Project

All existing projects can be opened by clicking on the project name. This will display the project details, including project databases, project members, and guests, as well as credentials.

In the top right corner, there are three buttons, which are described as follows.

  • The project name, description, and bounding box can be edited by clicking the edit button in the top right corner. All changes must be confirmed by clicking the "Save" button.

  • To delete an existing project, click the trash can icon. Deleted projects are permanently removed and cannot be restored.
