How to Deactivate and Reactivate a DirtMate Site


While DirtMate sites are active, surfaces will be generated by any installed DirtMates on site. Once a project is wrapping up or the use of DirtMate moves to another site, deactivating the site should take place in the DirtMate Management App to finalize or pause surface generation.

Examples of when to deactivate a site:

  • Project is complete and machines have been mobilized off site
  • The earthwork scope is complete, and drone flights will continue, but DirtMate mappings will not.
  • DirtMates are being moved to a different site
After a site is deactivated, it is possible to reactivate it if needed.

1. To deactivate a site, Open the Propeller Mobile App and select any site and dataset to get started.

2. Navigate to the logo in the top left of the screen to show the DirtMate Management App.
