5. Modes for visualizing and managing data on your deployment

Previous4.2 UsersNext5.1 Map View

Last updated 9 months ago

The Ushahidi platform provides you with modes (i.e. views) to not only visualise your data in different ways, but to also manage it.

We designed “modes” for the discrete and specific actions users need to take within the platform, in a bid to make the platform to be more intuitive and action-oriented for different user types on a deployment.

Guest/anonymous users or viewers of a deployment can access three modes as shown below:

  • Map view

  • Data view

  • Activity view

Signed in users(with the necessary permissions) can access all four modes as shown below:

  • Map view

  • Data view

  • Activity view

  • Settings view

Your Ushahidi deployment defaults to the map mode for anyone who visits your homepage(as illustrated above). To change your current mode, select any of the options provided to you from the menu on your left.
