Workspace

The workspace lists all of the maps you have created or maps that have been shared with you. From here, you can:

1. Create a new map

2. Search the table for any map

3. Sort the map list by clicking on any of the table headers

4. Check the processing status of a map

5. Open / Edit / Delete / Reprocess a map (clicking on the pencil directly opens the map in edit mode) or open a previous version of a map

6. Share a map

7. Open the map dialog by clicking on the hyperlink

Batch action

You can batch delete maps or batch reprocess maps by selecting multiple maps at once.

The processing icons indicate if maps have processed successfully, if they are awaiting processing, if processing has failed, or if processing is ongoing.

Hint

The workspace can also be viewed in a map view.

Publish or share a map

As long as a map has not been published or shared, it is only visible to the creator of the map (as well as the organization managers, see Organization manager). In order to publish a map to the catalog, click on ‘Share’.

The dialog allows to:

1. Publish a map to the catalog - this makes it visible to anyone

2. Share the map with groups or individuals - this is only possible if the person you want to share with already has an account for the application and that person is wtihin your organization

Important

The purpose of this application is to make as much information on environmental surveillance publicly available as possible. Thus, the default should always be to publish a map. In some cases, it might be required that some people collaborate on a map before it can be published - thus, sharing can be useful in those cases. However, it should remain an exception and ideally once a map has been finalized it should always be published.

Publish a map

To publish, you need to select the map version that should be published.

Share a map

To share a map with an individual or group:

1. Click on ‘Share with your team’

2. Type the username or group name

3. Select the user or group you want to share with

4. Click the sharing permission (view only or edit)

5. Click ‘Save settings’

Once a map has been shared this way, it will appear in the workspace of the users it was shared with.

Map versions

Every time you edit a map, a new map version is created. From the workspace, you can access all your previous versions of a map. While no longer editable, these maps can still be consulted and used to understand how changes done in the map editor lead to changes in the hydrological processing and consequently different watersheds for a same site location.

To access the map versions:

1. Click on the 3-dot menu

2. Click on ‘Map versions’

3. Select the map version you want to examine

Note that the processing version is indicated for each map version as well.

Processing versioning

Whenever the processing toolbox is updated (see Processing engine release notes), a map may need to be reprocessed. If the processing of a map is outdated, this is indicated within the status column:

You can reprocess the map via the 3-dot menu and it will automatically use the latest processing engine available.
