Guide

From home (centered card, no site navbar/footer) choose Search to find and open an existing incident (search by title, pagination) or Create for a new one (title and optional password, minimum 4 characters if you set one).

When creating, if the browser allows it, the map may center on your location; otherwise it uses the default center.

Open the room from the link or the list. If it is protected, you see the map (basemap) with a required password dialog: until you unlock, detail/event requests do not run and tools stay disabled. After unlock, the password stays in the browser’s sessionStorage for that room (cleared when the session ends).

On home: profile at the bottom of the card (next to Information and the theme control). In the map: at the bottom of the sidebar, profile on the left and theme icon on the right.

Set a name (e.g. Dispatch / Crew lead); it is required before you add, move, edit, or remove marks. The name stays in localStorage; when you draw, move, edit, or delete a mark it is copied onto the event and shown on the timeline.

In map view there is no site navbar/footer. On desktop: sidebar on the left and map on the right. On phone: full-screen map and a menu (☰) top left that opens the same drawer sidebar; choosing a tool closes the menu.

In the sidebar: logo (back to home), incident title (lock if protected), then “Cursor” and symbols (Arrow / Shape / Text and unofficial tactical icons). In cursor mode, tap a mark to select it; tap empty space to deselect.

Below: settings, “Export”, “Information” (on aib.smnl.dev/sitac). At the bottom: profile and theme icon. Rename/password only in “Now”.

Center bottom on the map: name of the tool or selected mark, info icon (opens a window explaining what it does and how to use it), “Finish” / “Cancel” while drawing an arrow or shape, and “Move” / “Edit” / “Delete” when a mark is selected (“Move” = drag, then “Finish” to save or “Cancel”; “Edit” = change label text; “Delete” with confirmation; only in “Now”, not while scrubbing the timeline).

Top of the map (may wrap on two lines on phone): every add, move, text edit, or remove is an automatic step. Use the slider, ← →, or “« / »” for start/end (live). The current step goes in ?step= in the URL; “Copy link” includes the step if you are scrubbing.

Rooms without a password: anyone with the link can view and edit; live updates via SSE. If a password is added, live connections close and you must unlock again.

Password-protected rooms: the map opens read-only with a non-dismissable password dialog; the password is required to load data, read events, and edit; updates arrive via polling. Do not put the password in the URL.

Marks may be estimated or incomplete: use them with operational judgment. Do not present the map as an official product.
