Create a Civillo project

This guide helps administators create and manage projects within an organization.

WARNING

Note that creating a project will incur a monthly project cost. Before creating a project it is recommended that you approve this action with your accounts manager.

Create a new project

1. Sign-in to your account.

2. Find your organization and click Open.

3. Click Administration from the navigation bar.

4. In the left sidebar, click Projects and then click Create.

5. Enter the name of your new project and click Create.

6. A pop-up screen will appear, to open the project now click open, otherwise click cancel. You can now find the project under Projects → Edit.

TIP

All administrators of the organization will be automatically added to the new project. See how to to manage project users below.

Add users to a project

TIP

This is only available to organization admins, unless your organization has the Organization-wide visibility of users setting enabled, in which case project admins and all users with the user management group role also have access. Refer to the organization settings page for how to enable this.

1. Sign-in to your account.

2. Find your organization and click Open.

3. Click Administration from the navigation bar.

4. In the left sidebar, click Projects and then click Edit.

5. Find the project you wish to manage and click the user icon on the bottom left-hand corner.

6. Scroll down, select the user under Available users to add to the project, click Save Changes and then Confirm.

TIP

Available users are users who are already members of the organization, but not yet members of the given project. In order to add new users (users who do not already have a Civillo account) to a project they must first be invited to join the organization; refer to how to invite users.

Remove users from a project

1. Follow steps 1-5 from above.
2. Under Project users, scroll down or use the search bar to find and select a user.
3. Click Save Changes and then Confirm.

WARNING

Only members can be removed from projects, administrators cannot remove other administrators.

Enforcing multi-factor authentication (MFA) on a project

1. Navigate to the Edit Project page.
2. Toggle the Enforce MFA checkbox.
3. Click Confirm on the popup dialog.
4. Click Save Changes and then Confirm.

When enabled, users will not be able to access any project resources without having MFA enabled on their account. See MFA setup for how to enable MFA on your Civillo account.

WARNING

Enforcing MFA for your project will immediately prevent any users without MFA enabled from accessing project-related Civillo resources until they set up MFA.

To remove MFA enforcement, toggle the checkbox off then click Save Changes.

Fixing the decimal place count for cross-section labels

By default, the cross-section tool chooses how many decimal places to show on distance, chainage, and elevation (RL) labels based on the current zoom level: fewer decimals when zoomed out, more when zoomed in. This keeps labels from implying more precision than the data supports.

If you'd rather your team see a consistent number of decimals at every zoom level, a project admin can override this with a fixed decimal place count.

1. Navigate to the Edit Project page.
2. Under Cross section label precision, toggle Use a fixed decimal place count on.
3. Enter a whole number from 0 to 2 in the Fixed decimal places field.
4. Click Save Changes and then Confirm.

WARNING

A fixed decimal count can show more precision than the underlying data actually supports, and more precision than the current zoom level would normally allow. While the override is active, the cross-section panel displays a warning whenever the fixed count exceeds the default precision for the current zoom.

To restore the automatic, zoom-driven behaviour, toggle Use a fixed decimal place count off and click Save Changes.
