Haiyz is one geospatial platform an organization runs — on the desktop, in the browser, in the field, and through an API — organised in three categories. This guide covers the shape of the platform, then the model everything published on it follows.
The site is three categories, and every menu, hub and plan is expressed against them. Platform is the software we build; Enterprise is how an organization runs it; Community is the same platform opened to GIS practitioners.
Each product has its own route. The table is read from the navigation registry, so it cannot drift away from the menu — and these addresses changed once already.
| Product | Route | Category |
|---|---|---|
| Hyz WorkspaceLoad your layers, run the analysis, share the result — in the browser | /workspace | |
| Hyz MapsPublish an interactive map your teams or the public open by link | /maps | |
| Hyz FieldSend crews out with a form, capture offline, review what comes back | /field | |
| Hyz DashboardsOperational dashboards over your data — indicators, charts and a map that filter each other | /dashboards | |
| Hyz DesktopThe native workbench with a local engine, for the heavy work | /desktop | |
| Hyz APICall the same geoprocessing from your own systems | /developers | |
| Haiyz EnclaveThe same platform, inside your own network | /enclave |
The plan ladder is expressed against the same three categories, so "what do I get" has one answer rather than three.
| Plan | Platform | Enterprise | Community |
|---|---|---|---|
| FreeA deliberate subset of the platform, free for the GIS community | Limited | Not included | Everything |
| BasicFor occasional spatial work | Metered | Not included | Everything |
| PlusFor people who do this every day | Everything | Not included | Everything |
| EnterpriseFor organizations and government | Everything | Everything | Everything |
Credit allowances and enterprise quotas are set per plan and per contract. Prices live on the pricing page, where they can be kept current.
Articles and news — the two types this guide covers, filed under the same scientific GIS taxonomy as lessons, projects and open data.
Everything published on Haiyz is filed under a three-level scientific taxonomy. That path is the content's permanent address — it is what makes a piece findable years after it was written.
Every node carries a stable id beginning with tx_. When you choose your interests, you are choosing nodes — which is what lets Explore build a feed without guessing.
An account is free, and it is what connects your interests, your saved work and your profile. Roles are what change: a contributor can write, everyone else reads.
Community member
Read articles, news and lessons, save what you need, follow subjects and contributors. The default role for every account.
Contributor
Write and submit content through Studio. Granted after an application is reviewed and approved.
Every submission moves through the same three states, and a person decides the last one.
Published content is stored on a global CDN and fetched with a signed, time-limited token issued to the reader's browser. In practice that means:
| Role | Permissions |
|---|---|
| User | Read published content, save it, follow subjects and contributors |
| Author | Write content and submit it for review |
| Reviewer | Review submitted content, approve it or return it with notes |
| Admin | Platform administration, including users and the taxonomy |
