Navigating the Dashboard¶
Home Page Layout¶
When you open GeoSight, you’ll land on the Home page, which acts as the central hub for accessing dashboards, projects, and platform features. The layout is simple and focused, allowing you to quickly find and open projects or navigate to administrative tools.
It contains the following key sections:
| Section | Description |
|---|---|
| Banner | Displays the main header and navigation controls, including access to the home page. |
| Project Gallery | Shows available dashboards, including your own, shared, and public projects. |
| Admin / User | Provides access to login/logout, account settings, and administrative tools. |
Project Gallery¶
The Project Gallery displays all dashboards available to you in one place. A project is a collection of indicators, context layers, widgets, and filters, allowing you to analyse and understand conditions within a specific area.
Each project is displayed as a Project Card with the following elements:
| Element | Description |
|---|---|
| Thumbnail | A visual preview representing the theme or content of the project. |
| Title | The name of the project. |
| Description | A short project summary. If too long, it can be scrolled within the card. |
Administrator Panel¶
The Administrator Panel is where you create and manage content within GeoSight. It allows you to manage data, build dashboards, configure layers, and control user access.
Users have full control over the data, projects, and layers they own. Editable items are highlighted in blue text, while non-editable items appear in black.
