  2. Click on a parcel. This will bring up a candidate site profile. You can continue to click on other parcels or click Cancel to close the candidate site profile.

  3. Click Select Site to save the site

To create a custom site:

  1. Click the Create a site icon in the top left tray

  2. Draw a polygon representing your site

  3. Click Save to save the site or Cancel to exit

Reviewing and editing your sites

Once your site is created, you will see it represented as a colored polygon on the map, as well as listed in the site profile on the righthand side of your screen.

Once you click into a site, you can edit the site by clicking on the 路路路 icon at the top right of the site profile. From here, you can:

  • Edit site details

  • Redraw your site

  • Duplicate your site

  • Delete your site

Site details include:

  • Name: This is used to identify your site in the site list and export.

  • Creator: This is used to credit the site to an organization or individual in the export.
