Sites
Site Detail Page
The Site Detail Page is where you manage an individual construction site. It shows an overview of the site's data at a glance, lets you change the site's status, and provides quick actions for common tasks — all alongside the CesiumJS 3D globe view.

Overview Tab
The Overview tab is the default view when you open a site. It presents key information about the site at a glance.
Stats Cards
Three stat cards show the volume of data associated with the site:
| Stat | Description |
|---|---|
| Surveys | Total number of drone surveys uploaded or processed |
| Measurements | Total number of measurements taken on site |
| Designs | Total number of design surfaces (DXF/KML files) uploaded |
These counts update automatically as you add data to the site.
Site Details
Below the stats, the site details section displays:
- Description — the site summary or scope of works
- Location — the site address or locality
- Tags — categorisation labels applied to the site
- Linked project — the associated Pasco Cloud project, if any (shown as a clickable link)
Quick Actions
The Overview tab provides quick action buttons for the most common tasks:
- New Survey — jump straight to creating a new survey
- Upload Design — open the design surface upload flow
- Take Measurement — activate a measurement tool on the map
These shortcuts save you navigating through tabs when you know exactly what you want to do.
Status Workflow
Every site has a status that reflects where it sits in its lifecycle. The available statuses and typical transitions are:
Active → On Hold → Active → Completed → Archived
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Active | Work is currently underway on site |
| On Hold | Work is temporarily paused (e.g., weather delay, client hold) |
| Completed | All field work is finished |
| Archived | The site record is closed out and hidden from default views |
Changing Status
You can change a site's status in two ways:
- Compact header — click the status badge in the site header to see available transitions and select the new status
- Edit modal — open the edit form and change the status field

ℹ️ Did you know?
Status changes are not restricted to a strict linear sequence. You can move a site from Completed back to Active if additional work is required, or from On Hold directly to Completed if the pause was the final step.
Quick Status Change
The compact header at the top of the site detail page shows the site name and a colour-coded status badge. Clicking the badge opens a dropdown with available status transitions — this is the fastest way to update a site's status without opening the full edit form.

Editing a Site
Click the Edit button in the site header or the Overview tab to open the edit modal. The form lets you update:
- Name — the site's display name
- Description — summary or scope notes
- Location — address or locality
- Tags — add or remove categorisation labels
- Project link — associate with a Pasco Cloud project or change the existing link
- Status — change the site's lifecycle status
Changes save immediately when you confirm the edit.

💡 Tip
Use tags to categorise sites by work type (e.g., "road", "residential", "bridge") or region (e.g., "NSW", "Canterbury"). Tags make it easier to find related sites in the Site Register as your site list grows.
The 3D Globe
The CesiumJS globe occupies the main area of the screen behind the floating panel. When you open a site, the globe automatically flies to the site's location and loads any visible survey layers and design surfaces.
The globe is interactive — you can rotate, zoom, and tilt to view your site data from any angle. Survey overlays, point clouds, and design surfaces render directly on the globe terrain.
For details on how the floating panel interacts with the globe, see Floating Panel & Tabs.
