Working with Projects

The Voxel FarmVoxelSpace platform uses a data-centric approach to allowhelp organizations scale the spatial understanding of their operations.

AAt data-centricthe core of this approach createsis a shared repository of spatial objects.data Theobjects, known within the platform callsas these spatial objects "Entities"Entities. SomeThese EntityEntities examplesrepresent are:a wide range of geospatial and design data types, including:

To manage thelarge sheer numbervolumes of entities,Entities, the platform structuresorganizes the full Organization's Catalog ininto a hierarchy of Projects and Folders.Folders.

·         Each project can have its own custom folder structure, defined by the project team.

·         Access permissions, folder layouts, and the selection of Entities within each project are configurable by the organization’s users.

After logging in, users can navigate to the teams“Catalog” section in the organizationleft-hand menu to come up with which Projects should be used, who will be assigned to each Project, what folder structure should be user in each particular Project, and which Entities will appear in the project.

After a successful login, a User can click on the "Catalog" section of the UI. This will displaysee a list of theaccessible projects the user can access:Projects.
