Every place that matters to the Nation, on one private map.
Its names, what is found there, how it has changed, and who has cared for it.
Each place is recorded with its name in English and its name in the Nation's language, with a recording of how it is said. Select a place and its card opens: the kind of place, what is found there, and tabs for the foods, animals, documents, recordings, stories and Collection items that belong to it.
Every place has one of three settings. Open: all members see the exact place. General area: members see roughly where it is and nothing more. Named people only: everyone else sees just that a protected place exists in that part of the territory. Burial, ceremonial and monitored places start out protected.
A place can hold many dated images, each with the story told about that date. A slider moves through the years, and two dates can be set side by side to see what has changed. Each image follows its own rule, so one photograph can be kept for named people while the rest are shared.
Field staff record each visit: the date, who went, the condition of the place, what was found, what was done, and whether a follow-up is needed. A visit can carry its own coordinates and up to 20 findings, each with a description, a location and a photo or video. Photos from visits join the place's images through time. Visit records are seen only by the staff the Nation assigns, never by the general membership.
Monitored places are kept on their own list, apart from the Atlas, and each has its own roles. An Atlas manager keeps the Nation's places. A Monitoring manager keeps the list of monitored places. A field visitor records visits at the places assigned to them. A forestry user reads the history of what is released to them, prints the report, and changes nothing. The Nation's administrator gives and removes these roles.
A date range produces a single download: a spreadsheet of every visit in that range together with the photos and videos, each file named by date and place. It opens on any computer, so results can be handed to a partner agency or kept in the Nation's own files. A Word report can also be made for one place or for all monitored places.
