Creating CRS favorites

CRS (Coordinate reference system) are required when uploading a project (unless your project is not georeferenced). Incorrect specifying the CRS for a project will result in it being incorrectly geolocated and unable to be viewed with other data, such as the basemaps/terrain. 

To make the process of specifying the CRS more reliable, company admins can save commonly used CRS to a list of company favorites. Other users will then have the option to select a CRS from the predefined favourites list rather than having to define them. To add CRS favorites:

  1. Navigate to your company page and select the configuration tab.
  2. Select the CRS favorites tab.
  3. And then, add a new favorite CRS. 
  4. The CRS add page will then allow you to select from a list of coordinate systems and specify vertical datum, and vertical CRS. Alternatively, you can manually enter a PROJ string or WKT. 
  5. Then save and the CRS will be favorited.


After you have added your CRS favorites, they will then be able to be selected in the upload process, as shown below.
