Creating a Transect Report

Learn how to create a Transect Report to identify project suitability and risk.

A Transect Report helps fast-track your search for the ideal project site by providing a snapshot of an area's environmental risks and concerns. This automated report analyzes potential issues for your project in minutes, eliminating the days or weeks of waiting for traditional desktop reports. 

Transect Reports can be created from:

• The Dashboard
• The Map

Creating a Report from the Dashboard

1. From the Dashboard, select Order Report in the upper right-hand corner. 
2. Use the dropdown to choose from one of your projects, Upload a KML, or create a new Area of Interest (AOI) by selecting Quick Parcel Select, Draw Polygon, or Draw Line. For more information on searching for project sites, check out this article.
   
3. When finished, select Continue.
4. Add your project details to the relevant fields on the next page. If "I don't know" is selected as an option, Transect will provide a more conservative estimate for your project.
   
5. Select Save & Order Report.

The report will be generated in the background, so you don't need to stay on the page. You'll receive an in-app notification and email with a link to view the report when it's ready.

Creating a Report from the Map

1. From the Map, identify your Area of Interest (AOI) either by searching or uploading a KML file.
2. The 'Manage' modal will populate once your AOI has been established, where you can add a project title.
3. Select Save & Order Report.
4. Add your project details to the relevant fields on the next page. If "I don't know" is selected as an option, Transect will provide a more conservative estimate for your project.
5. Click Save & Order Report.
   

The report will be generated in the background, so you don't need to stay on the page. You'll receive an in-app notification and email with a link to view the report when it's ready.
