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 the project a name relevant to the work you'll be doing.

2. Description: Optionally, add a description that briefly covers a little more context about your work in this project.

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

   1. Click the 'Define Area of Interest' button.

   2. Follow the on screen instructions but start by clicking 'Draw a Rectangle' button then click on the 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 click 'Reset Drawing' to draw again.

   4. Once you have a valid AOI, you can click 'I'm Finished' to finish the drawing step

4. After you've entered all the details, click on 'Create Project' in the bottom right to start exploring!
