Collect Earth Online (CEO) has a brand new splash page! Users will have easier access to their institutions and projects, a stronger connection to our blog, and opportunities to explore featured projects. This update will also enable future expansions to the platform.
There are now three tabs to easily navigate to different parts of the application:
If you’re new to CEO and trying to figure out if it’s the right fit for you, or if you just want to read about the latest updates, this is the place for you!
This tab lets you view the latest blog posts to learn more about recent features or updates to the platform. You can also see what other users are building in CEO by looking at the featured projects.
This tab will be familiar to current or long-time CEO users. You can view Institutions you are affiliated with, or other public institutions.
Each Institution includes a dropdown to see all of the institution’s projects. These projects will appear in the map on the right, where you can click and zoom for project details.
You can also search by Institution name, or by project name.
We’ve also updated how individual Institutions are managed. Read the blog post to get all of the details about the exciting changes.
This tab makes it easy to resume collecting data. Here you can find all of your projects, including projects across different Institutions, in one single place.
You can easily sort through projects by those that you’ve last collected data for, the projects that are most recently created, or search for a project name.
This means you no longer have to navigate back and forth through institutions to find projects you want to collect on. Instead, all of your relevant projects are in a single place – saving you time and letting you focus on the work that matters: collecting data!
These updates are about more than a new look. They make it easier to navigate CEO, discover projects and updates, and spend less time searching for your work. It also lays the groundwork for exciting future improvements to the platform.
