Getting Started¶

 

DataSeer is a web application that runs in Google Chrome, with no installation necessary.

Here's how to get up and running.

Access DataSeer¶

The first step is to open DataSeer and log in:

Add a Project¶

Once you get logged in, you need to add your first project and upload diagrams to it:

1. Click UPLOAD FILES and select Create a new project.

2. Give your project a name and upload PDFs of diagrams:

   • Drag and drop PDFs into the upload box.
   • Click the upload box and select the PDFs.

   Tip

   You can upload up to 100 pages of PDFs per project.

3. Click UPLOAD.

4. Choose the appropriate Project Configuration based on the desired library to label your data with.

   • To extract common P&ID symbols automatically, click Select Options under Use the Default P&ID Symbol Library and select the symbols to extract.
   • To extract symbols automatically based on a template, click Select Template under Use a Template and click Select next to the template to use and deselect any symbols you want DataSeer to omit from extraction. (Templates will be unavailable until one is created by the user)
   • To bypass automatic extraction and proceeed to manual extraction of custom symbols, tables, or text, click Select Options and move on to the next step.

5. Review the thumbnails to decide the pages you want to add:

   • Click a thumbnail to remove that page from the project.
   • Click a thumbnail again to re-add that page.

6. Click PROCESS.

   The Project Library displays and DataSeer uploads the diagrams to the project.
