Sharing and publishing

MAIA's sharing takes a project and returns a link you can send to anyone, with or without a MAIA account. Export takes a layer and returns a spreadsheet.

What it answers#

A finished project has two ways out. A link lets someone look at the map and the table. An export lets you take the rows into another tool.

Two kinds of link#

The kind of link depends on what the project holds. You do not choose it.

A parcel layerThe link isGated. The viewer table below appliesWhat the viewer does firstEnters a work email and accepts the access terms
No parcel layerThe link isOpen and read-only. The viewer sees the map and your shapes, and no tableWhat the viewer does firstNothing

Share a gated link#

  1. Open the project's menu and choose Share.
  2. Choose Public.
  3. Turn on Public sharing.
  4. Pick when the link expires: 7, 14, or 30 days.
  5. Send the link. The viewer enters a work email, accepts the access terms, and the project opens.
Share is the first item in the project's menu.

Note

Gmail and similar personal addresses are refused unless you turn on the setting that allows them for this link. Before a viewer accepts the terms, they see parcel outlines and nothing else. A viewer's session ends after 24 hours, and they enter their email again.

You see who has opened the link under Viewers, and you can download that list.

The Share dialog. Public is the link for people outside the workspace.

What a viewer sees#

The mapA viewer does not seeEnrichments, including their reasoning and sources
The tableA viewer does not seeContacts
Views and filtersA viewer does not seeMailing addresses
The parcel columns MAIA allows in a linkA viewer does not seeAny way to export
The conversation, read-onlyA viewer does not seeA chat box. A viewer cannot dispatch work

A link shows less than the project. That is deliberate. Researched values and contact data stay inside your workspace.

Revoke a link#

Turn off Public sharing and the link stops working at once, for everyone who has it. To change a link's settings, revoke it and create a new one. The old link does not carry over.

Export#

Export is turned on per workspace. If you do not see Download CSV or Download Excel, ask support to turn it on.

Export writes a layer as the table shows it, filters applied. A filtered view exports fewer rows than the layer holds.

  1. Open the table's options menu and choose Download CSV or Download Excel.
  2. Choose whether to include the reasoning and the sources behind each researched value. Include both when someone else will rely on the file.
  3. Choose which contact fields to write.
  4. Download. A table over 10,000 rows is refused, so filter it first.
Download CSV or Download Excel from the table's options menu.

Saved contacts export on their own, as CSV, from the Contacts page.

Limits#

  • 10,000 rows per export.
  • Restricted uses still apply to anything you export. See Restricted uses.
  • A link expires in 7, 14, or 30 days. Every number is on Limits.
