# Map a project

## Getting started

From the project's summary page, click the **Map** tab

A project's map is defined by **components,** which are the various improvements that will be constructed as result of this project.&#x20;

The panel on the left-hand side of the screen lists all of the project's components. Click any component in the panel to view more details, as well as to reveal the **Delete** and **Edit** buttons. Clicking the magnifying glass next to each component's name will cause the map to zoom to that component.

### Create a new component

To create a new component, click the **New Component** button at the top of the left panel. Select the **Component Type** you wish to create, and complete additional fields as needed.

Note that the type of features that will be mapped (point or line) will be determined by the component you choose.&#x20;

Click the **continue** button to move on to the task of mapping the component.&#x20;

To map the component, zoom in until the map reveals dotted lines (if mapping a line component) or gray intersection dots (if mapping a point component).

Add map features to your component by clicking on them. The features you select will be highlighted in yellow.

As well, you may use the draw icon in the top-right corner of map to manually draw a map feature.

Click the **Save** button to save your component.
