Before you can create an operation, you need to have a site. Please follow this guide on how to create a new site
On the sites landing page of the platform, select the site on which you want to create a new operation. Click on the "New Operation" button at the top:
Select a Data Product
Highlighted in green below are the different data products. Data product are specific bundles that tailor the platform to your use case. You can find more information on the available data product here
Defining area of interest
The next screen will verify if there are any airspace restrictions within the site area you have marked. This is also the last chance to alter any of the site boundaries and make sure that everything you want to be inspected is within the region.
Boundary editing tools
Allows you to draw additional or new boundaries on the map
Allows you to select an existing boundary to then edit them
Using this button you can upload an existing KML to the platform
When you’re ready, click next to proceed to the next window.
Layers
If you have uploaded any overlays or created regions you can also use these layers in order to help you create the operation boundaries accurately.
Data Acquisition method
Here you will have to choose whether you would like to use one of the pilots within Sitemark’s network or you would like to fly the operation yourself. If you would like to fly with a Sitemark pilot you will need to indicate the date range you would like the inspection to take place.
Confirming the operation
Once you have completed these steps you will then be at the final stage, if you are happy that all of the information that you have entered is correct you can confirm the operation and you will have completed a draft operation.
If you have a subscription to a data product, you will be able to confirm the operation straight away. If you require a quote for the operation Sitemark will approve the operation shortly.
