What GISweaver is¶
GISweaver is where survey organisations keep their survey work, check it on a map and hand it to their clients, in a web browser. Each organisation holds projects, and each project holds a survey's files, its map and its conversation. GISweaver is in beta; new words are in the glossary.
GISweaver has two parts with one sign-in: the Console, where you manage projects, files, people and the organisation, and the Map, where you look at a survey. See Choose between the map and the Console. After you sign in you start on Home: what is waiting for you, your projects by state and a way back into the project you were in.

How to read this guide¶
Each page opens with what the task is for, then says Who can do this and any plan limit, then numbered steps. A word in bold is a label exactly as GISweaver shows it; Open in GISweaver links take you straight to the screen. Each page ends with what happens next and what to do if something goes wrong.
What you can see and do depends on your role, your organisation's plan and the survey's data. The version each page was checked against is at its top: see Which version of GISweaver am I using?.
