If something goes wrong

  • The tour does not appear. It is shown once per browser, at a desk, on your own organisation's projects. On a phone, and on a survey another organisation shared with you, it is not offered. After a link to a conversation or an object, the map offers it in the status bar instead: see Open a project on the map.
  • The question mark is not there on a phone: the rail gives way to tabs at the foot of the screen. Open the guide's own page, Map guide, instead.

Details

The Map guide lists its chapters on its first screen. Full documentation at its foot opens this guide.
