TM v4.8.1

This release v4.8.1 introduces a streamlined Project Summary Table View for efficient project management and an upgraded iD Editor to enhance mapping functionality.

Project Summary Table View

The Project Summary Table View is the standout feature of this release, designed to provide a more streamlined and accessible project management experience. This feature introduces a summarized table view that displays critical project data in a clear, organized manner, allowing users to assess project statuses at a glance.

• CSV Export for Advanced Analysis: Users can download project data as a CSV file, enabling them to conduct in-depth analysis, reporting, or further processing in external tools.
• Wide Audience Impact: This feature is especially beneficial for project managers, data analysts, and other stakeholders who oversee multiple projects, helping them generate insights quickly and efficiently.

Key Benefits:

• A quick overview of all projects in one place.
• CSV downloads for offline analysis and integration with other tools.
• Scalable design that handles large datasets with ease.

Thanks to @jarmokivekas initial work that helped us get this into Tasking Manager!

FAQ

What is live monitoring?

Live monitoring lets you track data generated for your mapping projects in near real-time. You can follow your project's progress, spot potential issues as they happen, and ensure that the data being generated is accurate and reliable.

Is live monitoring available for all projects?

No, the live monitoring feature is limited to projects in five specific countries: Bangladesh, Malawi, Ecuador, Morocco, and Nigeria.

Is live monitoring available for every user?

Yes, live monitoring is available to all logged-in users who have expert mode turned on. This option is available right below the contributions timeline section.

What should I do if I can't access live monitoring for my project, even if it is on the available list?

Check Your Profile Settings: Make sure you have expert mode enabled in your profile settings.

Log Out and Log Back In: Sometimes, logging out and then logging back in can refresh your session and allow access to the feature.
