Seequent Evo help centre

Seequent Evo is a unified geoscience data and compute platform with open APIs to drive connected workflows and enhance decision-making. Evo provides the foundation for bringing teams together, with collaborative workspaces and secure, efficient data storage.

This topic introduces Seequent Evo and provides links to more information to help you get started. It is divided into:

Signing in to Seequent Evo

To get started with the Seequent Evo platform, visit evo.seequent.com and sign in using your Bentley account. If you have access to more than one Evo instance, you will be prompted to choose which one to sign in to.

In Seequent Evo, data is organised into workspaces where access is controlled by assigning users to the workspace and granting them different permission levels. Once you have signed in, the Data page will be displayed. This page is split into two parts, a list of workspaces you have permissions for (A) and a map showing the locations of geoscience objects stored in those workspaces (B):

Click the menu button () to collapse the sidebar so that it uses less space:

You can resize the workspaces list and the map. To do this, click and hold on the divider and drag:

You can also hide either the list or the map:

  • Click the List button to hide the workspaces list.
  • Click the Map button to hide the map view.

Exploring workspaces

Click on a workspace to view its contents:

You can filter the list of objects by data type and see more information about each object.

To learn more about Seequent Evo workspaces, including creating your own workspaces and assigning others in your team to your workspaces, see the Workspaces topic.

If you are new to Seequent Evo and have not yet been assigned to any workspaces, click the Create workspace button to create one of your own and start exploring the options available:

See the Creating a workspace topic.

Searching for data using the map

The map shows geoscience objects projected onto a map, if those objects contain Coordinate Reference System (CRS) information. This is useful in understanding what data is available in a region of interest. To see what objects are available in an area, use the mouse to zoom in, then click on the number to display the list of objects in that area (A). To see more information about an object, click on its overflow menu (B). What options are available depends on the type of object.

See the Spatial search topic for more information on navigating in the map view and searching for geoscience objects.

Evo user roles and workspace permissions

Click on Users in the sidebar to see who belongs to your instance, along with their user role. If you are not an admin for your instance and you need an admin to, for example, add someone new to your instance, you can find out who your admins are in the Users page.

Evo instance user roles and workspace permissions control what data each user on an instance has access to.

User roles

User roles determine what a specific member of the instance can do. Evo instances have two main roles:

  • Evo Users have limited access to the instance, based on what workspaces they have permissions for.
  • Evo Admins have full access to the instance.

To find out what your user role is for the instance you are currently working in, click the user ID menu, which will show your initials. What role you are assigned is indicated next to your name:

If you are an instance admin new to Seequent Evo, see the Introduction to the Evo admin role topic, which includes more detail on the differences between the two user roles.

Workspace permissions

In workspaces, there are three different permission levels that determine what workspace members can do:

  • Workspace Viewers can view and search all data in the workspace.
  • Workspace Editors can edit data and add data to the workspace. A workspace editor can also share the workspace by adding instance members, although editors cannot assign permissions higher than their own.
  • Workspace Owners can edit data and add data to the workspace, and can share the workspace. Workspace owners can also delete the workspace. By default, the user who creates a workspace is assigned as a workspace owner. A workspace can have multiple workspace owners, if required.

See the Workspace permissions topic for more information on what is possible at the different permission levels.

Assigning users to workspaces

If you are the owner or editor of a workspace, you can assign anyone who already belongs to your instance to the workspace. See the Managing workspace users topic.

If you want to assign someone who is not yet part of your instance to a workspace and you are not an admin, you need to contact one of your instance’s admins to do this for you. Click on Users in the sidebar to see the list of your instance’s users. Admins appear with the role Evo Admin. Once the new user has been invited to the organisation, you will be able to add them to your workspace.

Evo settings and resources

Switching instances

If you have access to more than one Evo instance, you can switch between instances without having to sign in again. Do this by clicking the user ID menu and selecting the instance you wish to work in:

Using dark mode

You can change the application’s appearance to dark mode, if you wish. To do this, choose Appearance from the user ID menu.

Getting help and support

To get help in Evo, click on the help button:

If you need support, choose Contact us from the help menu. This opens the Product Support Request page on MySeequent.

Other Seequent applications

The application switcher () shows other Seequent cloud-based applications:

You do not necessarily have access to these applications that appear in the app switcher, but if you do, you can open them directly from the app switcher.
