Once the code is confirmed, you land on the map.
After logging in
The screen has three main parts:
- Left menu with Map, Map layers, Tags, Datasets, Analysis and more. Settings, Help and the user card (your initials) sit at the bottom.
- Top row with the search field, Last visited and the map buttons, all grouped in the top right.

The default view is zoomed out. Use the search field to reach the property you are working on.
