Project Management

ATLAS organizes your work into projects. Each project contains all data related to a specific engagement.

Creating a Project

1. Go to Projects (bottom navigation)
2. Tap the + icon in the top right
3. Enter project details:
   • Project Title (required)
   • Client name
   • Facility address
   • Start/end dates
   • Points of contact

---

Project Data

Each project contains:

Data Type	Description
Cards	Captured access cards linked to this project
POIs	Points of interest at the facility
Notes	Field notes with GPS coordinates
Map Data	Situational awareness items (cameras, ALPR, entry points, barriers, security personnel)
Goals	Statement of work checklist

---

Active Project

Set a project as “active” to automatically associate new data:

• Card reads are tagged with the active project
• GPS coordinates are captured for new items
• Notes and POIs default to the active project

To set active:

1. Open Projects
2. Tap the ⋮ menu on a project
3. Select Set as Active

The active project shows a icon.

• Facility ownership (owned/leased)
• Sole occupant status
• Floors occupied by client

Security Measures

• Security personnel type (in-house, third-party, law enforcement)
• Armed/unarmed status

Export

Export your project for reporting or backup:

1. Open the project
2. Tap the Export button
3. Select what to include:
   • Project details
   • Notes
   • POIs
   • Cards
   • Situational awareness items (entry points, barriers, cameras, security personnel, badge intel)
   • Media attachments (photos & videos)
4. Optionally set a password for encryption

Export Formats

• With media → .atlas bundle (ZIP file with all attached photos and videos)
• Without media → .json file (metadata only, smaller file size)

Exports are stored in ATLAS’s internal storage. Access them via Settings → File Manager → Exports. To share externally, long-press and select Save to Downloads.

See Data Management for more export options.

Import

Import projects from other ATLAS devices:

1. Go to Projects
2. Tap the ↑ (import) icon in the top right
3. The file picker opens to the ATLAS directory (/storage/emulated/0/ATLAS/)
4. Navigate to your .atlas or .json export file
5. If the file is encrypted, enter the password
6. If a project with the same ID exists, choose to Replace or Create New

Tip: Use LocalSend to transfer files wirelessly between devices. Copy exports to /storage/emulated/0/ATLAS/ for easy access.

ATLAS imports all associated data: notes, POIs, cards, situational awareness items, and media attachments.

Merging Projects

When multiple operators collect data independently (e.g., each operator working with their own device), you can merge their projects into a single combined project. This is common in team engagements where operators split up to cover different areas of a facility.

How It Works

• Merge is a copy operation - source projects are not deleted
• Each source project’s assets are tagged with an operator name so you can tell who collected what
• All asset types are merged: notes, POIs, cards, and situational awareness items (cameras, entry points, barriers, security personnel, badge intel)

Merge Wizard

1. Select Source Projects - choose 2 or more projects to merge (each shows an asset count summary)
2. Assign Operators - give each source project an operator name (defaults to the project’s existing operator field if set)
3. Choose Target - pick where the merged data goes:
   • Use a source project as base - copies its title and metadata into a new project
   • Custom project name - creates a new project with a name you provide
   • Merge into existing project - adds data into an existing project that isn’t one of the sources
4. Confirm - review the merge summary showing operator assignments, asset totals, and target before executing

Launching the Merge Wizard

• From the Projects screen: tap the ⋮ menu > Merge Projects
• From selection mode: long-press to select multiple projects, then tap the merge icon in the toolbar

Tip: The operator name appears on merged assets throughout the app, making it easy to attribute data to a specific team member during report writing.
