Project Management

ATLAS organizes your work into projects. Each project contains all data related to a specific engagement.


  1. Go to Projects (bottom navigation)
  2. Tap the + icon in the top right
  3. Enter project details:
    • Project Title (required)
    • Client name
    • Facility address
    • Start/end dates
    • Points of contact

Each project contains:

Set a project as “active” to automatically associate new data:

  • Card reads are tagged with the active project
  • GPS coordinates are captured for new items
  • Notes and POIs default to the active project

To set active:

  1. Open Projects
  2. Tap the menu on a project
  3. Select Set as Active

The active project shows a icon.


Projects can store comprehensive engagement info:

  • Street address (auto-geocodes to GPS coordinates)
  • Facility ownership (owned/leased)
  • Sole occupant status
  • Floors occupied by client
  • Security personnel type (in-house, third-party, law enforcement)
  • Armed/unarmed status

Export your project for reporting or backup:

  2. Tap the Export button
  3. Select what to include:
    • Project details
    • Notes
    • POIs
    • Cards
    • Situational awareness items (entry points, barriers, cameras, security personnel)
  4. Optionally set a password for encryption
  5. Optionally include a map screenshot

Files are saved to /Android/data/io.mwgroup.atlas/files/exports/ as .json files.

Password-protected exports have _encrypted in the filename.


Import projects from other ATLAS devices:

  1. Go to Projects
  2. Tap the (import) icon in the top right
  3. The file picker opens to the ATLAS directory (/storage/emulated/0/ATLAS/)
  4. Navigate to your .json export file
  5. If the file is encrypted, enter the password
  6. If a project with the same ID exists, choose to Replace or Create New

Tip: Copy your export files to the /storage/emulated/0/ATLAS/ directory for easy access.

ATLAS imports all associated data: notes, POIs, cards, and situational awareness items.
