Activating a Project

Activating a project is the initial procedure to start the vectorial edition through a project and is exclusive for such activity. No other work is possible to be made because TerraAmazon requires an active project.

Click on CONTROLLER → PROJECT ACTIVATION in the main menu.


Contact an Administrator User to inform the name of the project to activate.

Select the project and click on the Activate button . The name of the activated project will appear in the Activated field.

An active project remains active until it is deactivated or until another project is activated instead.

To change the active project, select the new project to be activated and click on the Activate button. The previously active project will be deactivated and the new one, activated.

To simply deactivate a project, select the empty field in the project combo box to enable the Deactivate button . Click on it and the project will be deactivated.

The Operator User should know that the Administrator User can completely put projects unavailable at any time. When that happens, the project will no longer appear on the project list of this interface.

ATTENTION- Make sure you have the correct active project before you open the edition mode. Working with the wrong active project may cause permanent damage to the output data of that project. In TerraAmazon, each project has an output layer in which the outcoming polygons of the classification process are stored. If the wrong project is active, your work will be stored in the wrong output layer and you will not be able to roll back.
