    • Free attribute: this attribute requires the operator to manually enter or select the value

    • Pre-defined attribute: this attribute is automatically entered by the software, for example the date or the GNSS accuracy.

    • Measured attribute: this attribute is measured by the operator.


Free attribute

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

    • 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.
