Workspace and Console

GISweaver is one deployment with two customer surfaces. They share the same build, the same sign-in and the same shell — you move between them inside the application rather than switching applications.

GISweaver Workspace

The Workspace is the survey surface you work in: the map at the site root. Everything you do while looking at a project — finding and inspecting features, reading coordinates, measuring, analysing, designing, discussing and exporting — happens here.

GISweaver Console

The Console is your organisation's own business management. Its left rail carries three named groups and one row at the foot:

Group Rows
Work Projects, Shared with you, Deliveries, Clients, Team, Branches
Organisation Settings, Billing
You Preferences
(no header) Help

Two things that are commonly assumed to be Console sections are not:

  • Security is a tab of Preferences, because your sign-in is yours rather than your organisation's.
  • The Audit trail is one of the five screens inside the Settings hub, not a rail row of its own.

Within a section, the shape is the same throughout: the left rail moves you between sections, top tabs move you within one, and actions sit in a bar on the right.

The Console is not a separate application and must not become one: it is the same signed-in shell as the Workspace, on a different set of routes.

What belongs where

Task Surface
Measure a length, area or volume on the map Workspace
Create a project and upload a survey into it Console
Read the published release back on the map Workspace
Add a person to your Team Console
Export a scaled plan sheet as a PDF Workspace
See your invoices Console
Turn on your own second factor Console → Preferences → Security

Uploading is something you do; publishing is not a button. A release is published as the automatic consequence of the ingest job finishing — there is no customer publish control to press.
