Create a GIS feature

+ GIS | + GIS | + GIS

• GIS features can be created inside the GIS features manager.

To import a codelist with GIS attributes from a text or excel file please check how to import a CSS file in Import a codes library.

• Click Job.

• Click Points/Measurements/Codes.

• Open the Codes tab.

• Click Tools and select GIS Manager.

• This opens a new window with the list of available GIS features.

  

• Click Add to create a new feature.

  

  • Name: name of the GIS feature.

  • Attributes: list of attributes defined by the feature.

• To create new attributes click Add.

• Select if the attribute is a Free attribute, a Pre-defined attribute or a Measured attribute.

Free attribute

• A free attribute requires the operator to enter the attribute valute.

  

  • Name: the name of the attribute.

  • Type: the type of attribute.

    • Text: alpha-numeric text.

    • Integer number: any number, positive or negative, without fraction, including 0. Examples: 1, 108, -43.

    • Real number: any number, positive or negative, with fraction, without 0. Examples: 1.5, 108.46, -43.98.

    • Yes/No: the field value can be yes or no.

    • Title: the title is not an attribute but the title of the group of the following attributes.

    • Date: the attribute is a date.

    • Time: the attribute is a time.

  • Prompt: text requesting the attribute.

  • Default value: the value proposed by default.

  • List: list of values. Click Edit list to edit the values inside the list.

  • Fixed list: when activated, the value of the attribute must be selected from the list of values and can not be entered manually.

  • Mode: mode of request of value.

    • Active: normal request.

    • Read only: the attribute is not editable.

    • Hidden: the attribute is hidden and is not visible.

    • Disabled: the attribute is disabled.

  • Obligatory: when activated, a value must be assigned to the attribute; it cannot be left unspecified.

• Click Accept to save the attribute.

Pre-defined attribute

• The value of predefined attributes is extracted from the measurement.

  

  • Type: the type of attribute that can be extracted from measurements.

    • Point data: date when measurement is done.

    • Point time: time when the measurement is done.

    • GNSS Horizontal accuracy: the RTK estimated error when a GNSS measurement is performed.

    • GNSS Vertical accuracy: the RTK estimated error when a GNSS measurement is performed.

    • Depth: the point depth. The value is the cable locator depth, in case of jobs with cable locators connected to X-PAD, or the depth value from vertical offset measurements.

    • Site name: the name of the current site.

    • Point code: the code assigned to the measured point.

  • Name: the name of the attribute.

  • Prompt: text requesting the attribute.

  • Mode: mode of request of value.

    • Active: normal request.

    • Read only: the attribute is not editable.

    • Hidden: the attribute is hidden and is not visible.

• Click Accept to save the attribute.

Measured attribute

• The value of a measured attribute is manually measured using TPS or GNSS before storing the point.

  

  • Name: the name of the attribute.

  • Type: the type of measured attribute.

    • Height: elevation measured with current instrument.

    • Δ Height: different elevation between main point and an additional measure.

    • 2D Distance: distance in 2D between main point and an additional measure.

    • 3D Distance: distance in 2D between main point and an additional measure.

  • Min. value: the minimum acceptable value for the attribute. Any measured value below this threshold is set to the minimum value.

  • Max. value: the maximum acceptable value for the attribute. Any measured value below this threshold is set to the minimum value.

  • Default value: the value proposed by default.

  • Obligatory: when activated, a value must be assigned to the attribute; it cannot be left unspecified.

• Click Accept to save the attribute.
