Sign-up instructions

1. You should soon receive an email from “[email protected]" (note, this may land in your spam inbox).
2. Click the “Sign-Up" button in the email.
3. Use the same email to login using the “Email Sign-Up" option.

   1. Use your email and create a password.
   2. Sign-up with Google instead (using Google’s Single Sign-On system).
5. You will then be required to verify your email address using a six digit code - this will come from “Microsoft on behalf of Space Intelligence".
6. Fill in your display name.
7. Once complete, you will automatically be forwarded to your own web platform environment.

Once signed up, each time you navigate to the web platform, you will need to sign-in. Here, you either enter your email and password (which was set during sign-up), or use the Sign-in with Google option.

Adding additional users

If you have been granted admin rights for your organisation, then you can add additional users to your subscription. To do this, navigate to the person icon located at the top right hand side of the web platform, and select Manage Group from the drop-down menu.

Under the Members section, you can see all of your organisations existing users and the current roles. If you have admin rights, you can change user roles or remove users in the section.

You can add new users in the Invitation section. Simply enter their email address and click Send Invitation. The new user will then receive the sign-up instructions detailed above.

Web platform home page

Upon log-in, you will be directed to the web platform home page, which includes a central map panel, a mapping panel and a project panel.

Central Map Panel

The central map panel showcases all project locations, as orange dots for screening projects. All mapping data will appear here, once uploaded.

The central map panel also has a few tools, found on the right hand side of the central panel. These include:

• Zoom tools (+ and - buttons) for zooming in and out of the central map panel
• A rotation tool (stacked triangles) which allows you to change the map orientation
• A feature drawing tool (polygon) for drawing vector features onto the map for further analysis
• A measurement tool (ruler) for measuring distances within the central map panel

Some maps displayed in the central map panel have a “Tell me about this map” button, which provides information on the displayed map, including source, year, methodology and accuracy, where relevant.

Mapping Panel

The mapping panel on the left-hand side allows you to change map style and add additional feature layers to the platform. All map legends also appear in this panel.

Under the Map Style drop-down menu, you can adjust the following:

• Map Style: choose between a dark or light world map base layer, or a satellite image (default base layer)
• Map Projection: choose between “Web Mercator” (default), “Equal Earth” or “Globe” projections

Under the Layers drop-down menu, you can:

• Add additional map data layers (layers limited, depending on subscription and account settings)
• Add additional geojson layers for analysis

A legend for each uploaded layer will appear in the mapping panel. For each layer, you can use the icons to find out more information about the data, and adjust the style (e.g., opacity, colour ramp). You can also hide or remove layers here.

Projects Panel

The projects panel on the right-hand side has two tabs: My Projects and Global Projects. The My Projects tab shows all of your projects on the platform, highlighting project name, stage (i.e., screening), type (REDD, ARR or IFM) and methodology, if specified. The project list can be sorted by name, project type, country or methodology. The list can also be filtered by project type, country, activity or methodology.

Clicking on a project from the list will centre the central map panel on the project location, and allow you to View or Edit the project. New screening projects can be created by clicking on the Create Project button within the projects panel.

The Global Projects tab shows all of the project currently listed on the Verra Registry. These can be filtered by status (development, active, pending further action, or invalid), country and methodology.

Clicking on a project in the map will provide details on project name, status, country and methodology.
