Project
In the Tygron Platform, a Project refers to the collection of data relevant to a specific area and use-case. Each project consists of data such as:
- Geographical location
- Spatial features, such as an elevation model, Terrain Types, and Buildings.
- Relevant stakeholders, and their available Actions.
- Calculation models such as Indicators, as well as Overlays, calculated or otherwise
Interacting with a Project
All Projects are stored by the Tygron Platform as static data. As a user, it is possible to interact with a Project by starting a Session. When a Session of any kind is started, the Tygron Platform reads the Project data and uses it to create a live session, accessible to the user and optionally other users within his/her domain. In a Session, the user can interact with the data. When the Session is closed, all the data in the Session is discarded. If changes are not saved, the original Project remains unaffected; restarting a session restores the original data.
Accessibility
Access and adjustment rights to a project can be configured as followed:
- Project owner:
- Domain users: Whether users within your domain are allowed to access your project.
- Tygron Platform Support: whether you allow Tygron Platform support employees access your project to provide support or identify issues encountered in your project.
These rights allow you to either start a new session or join an existing live session. There are three options for adjustment:
- Write: Write access to the project. These users are allowed to start and save during a project session.
- Read: Read access to the project. Users with this accessibility option are not allowed to save the project. They can adjust the project when in a live session that the owner started with write access. When the owner saves the project data, the adjustments made by read-access users will also be included in the project.
- None: No access to the project. Note that a project owner always has access to a project.
A project can only be edited by one session at a time. It is not possible to have multiple editing sessions on the same project. In such case, you have to save a project under a new name. In this case the projects will be two separate entities from that moment on.
Template Project
Projects can be designated as "Template". Templates can be used as a blueprint to create new Projects. This is done by creating a copy of the Template Project, removing all geographical data from it, and allowing the user to select a new location for the new Project.
