Starting a new project

Once you’ve finished setting up your account, you can start a new project! On the homepage of Earth Index, click on the ➕ to start a new project.

A window will pop-up allowing you to enter details about your project.

There are three fields to complete before creating your project:

1. Name: Give it a name relevant to the work you'll be doing in this project.

   
2. Time Period: Choose a data range.

Currently, only one date range is available, but the options will be expanding in the future.

1. Area of Interest (AOI): Use the map to draw an area you want to run your search in.

   1. Click the 'Add New' button.

   2. Click on map and drag to draw a bounding box of your AOI.

   3. If your area is too large (max 900,000 sq km) then you can:

      1. Click 'Reset' to draw again

      OR

      1. Click 'Shrink AOI' to automatically reduce the AOI to less then 900,000 sq km

2. Once you've entered all the details, click on 'Create Project' to start exploring!
