Overview
What Connect is, who it is for, and what you can do with a shared project.
Connect is the GIMLabs client portal - a read-only window onto a project that a consultant or contractor has shared with you. You can browse the ground data, view photos, follow lab testing and export what you need, all without being able to change a thing.
It is built for external contacts - clients, stakeholders and reviewers - who need to see and pull a project's data without a full GIMLabs account, and without any risk to the underlying records.
Runs in your browser
Connect is a web app at connect.gimlabs.io. You sign in with a Connect account, which you set up from an invitation. See Getting access.
What you can do
Browse the project's tables in a clean grid, with geology and hole status when they are shared with you.
Download data as CSV or AGS, and PDF logs, where your access allows.
Read-only by design
Connect never lets you change the project's data - there are no edit controls anywhere. You can browse and export, but the records stay exactly as the project team prepared them.
What you see is set by the project team
The company that invited you decides which project (or projects) you can see, and what you can do - whether you can export, see photos, view geology, and so on. So your Connect may show more or less than another contact's. If you need something you cannot see, contact the person who invited you.
Setting up access (for administrators)
If you are the GIMLabs customer sharing a project, you invite contacts and set their permissions from Manage - see Sharing with clients.
