Site refers to a complex of one or more buildings displayed in a NavVis IVION instance. For example, the Munich Airport would be one site. An instance can contain multiple sites. Each site consists of one or more datasets.
In the map view, you can see the 2D maps of the site and where the site is located on a world map. By default, the map view is displayed in the mini view, which is the small window in the bottom right corner of the NavVis IVION interface. Clicking on the two small arrows on the bottom right corner of the screen switches between panorama view and map view.
A dataset is a piece of a site, the result of a continuous recording with a NavVis mapping device or the result of an imported point cloud. Datasets can contain panoramic images and point clouds.
A site model is a three-dimensional model which clusters information by assigning meaningful names to clearly defined areas in the space of a site. With a site model, you can define and name the buildings, floors, rooms, or even more fine-grained spaces, of a site in NavVis IVION. Among other things, this information is used to create the floor changer and enrich POI search.
