Maintain settings related to core GEO. For full GEO settings see GEO - Maintain Map Settings
Settings
The following screen fields and controls are defined, where not documented they are considered self explanatory or are explained elsewhere:
Field Settings
| Field | Description/ Usage | Recommendation |
|---|---|---|
| Latitude and Longitude Characteristics | ||
| Latitude Characteristic | Equipment and FL Characteristic used to store latitude value | Note - as of SP7 the direct use of these settings has been superseded through the use of more focused geo-json data going to the device. Other parts of this documentation provide further details this. |
| Longitude Characteristic | Equipment and FL Characteristic used to store longitude value | |
| Master Data | ||
| Inherit Geo Data | With this switched ON Functional Locations and Equipment will inherit the geo location of their parent, grandparent, great-grand parent.... all the way up the chain until a location is found. The inheritance is done at run-time when the BlueWorx geo data is selected. | Given the nature of what it does, activating this option slows down the selection of data so should be set to OFF for extra-large data sets with spatial data. |
| Suspend Change Propagation | When this in ON, changes to a parent stop updates to children, grandchildren, etc. | OFF |
| Map Settings | ||
| Use Maps | Use Map functionality in BlueWorx. | |
| Default Map Setting | Determines when map functionality is available for use. Options are:
| |
| Disable Sync Order Geo | This switch overrides the Users setting 'Sync Order GEO'. Setting this switch on will prevent all users from being able to sync map tiles and feature layers for their orders during the sync process | OFF |
| Hybrid Map Data Source | Prior to this option that was introduced in SP12, when online, map tiles and map layer information was retrieved from the configured map source - even if it existed in the application database from a previous download. With this switched ON BlueWorx will search for local application data and only where this is not found to search online (when online). For offline the existing, search local database, remains unchanged. In addition, while panning the map around with this switch active, tiles that are read are automatically saved to the database. This setting only applies to Base Maps configured as being Offline. | ON is the most efficient and effective but check your rights to store map data offline before using. |
| Events | ||
| Log GPS Location | If switched ON then it will records a BlueWorx users GPS location on selected events (like Sync and Inspections) - subject to:
| While this settings provides some very good and relevant usage information we suggest you consider privacy requirements and employee/ contractor relations issues when using this setting. |
