Adaptive Grid capture as-builts and data changes from the field.

In this video we'll take a look at making some data changes or corrections or even capture from the field with IQGeo. I'm on my mobile device, I've got an internet connection but this will work great if I don't have one as well. I'll switch my backdrop here so I can kind of see what we're looking at. There's different ways to kind of capture issues that I might have with this particular piece of data when I'm standing out here in the field looking at it and the maps following me around with the GPS. The simplest approach is to use just use a data correction form. This will initiate some instructions back into the office to say hey some change needs to be made and you basically capture everything you want to know in the comments as well as a linkage out to the feature that has an issue with it. You could capture anything else in this configurable form as well. Of course if you enable your field users to edit the data a little bit more directly that's okay as well. So basically I've enabled that here and I get this little edit button. I can see everything about the meter. And if I edit this here I can basically make some changes to this. I can capture new or different information, change around the location by dragging and dropping this little brown square or anything else associated with this particular meter. We could also make changes down here. So we've got our in this case a data model that exposes all the different things associated with that meter. In this case it might be capturing more information about what that customer has on the other side of the meter maybe customer owned facilities, DR and things like that. So the idea is that then if you want to capture even more information in the field beyond that simple attribute type of change, you could open up a new version with an IQ Geo. In this case I've called it a red line package. You can call that whatever you want as built package design whatever. So I'm going to say that this is a red line here by default and give it a little name. And this is also all configurable to decide what you want to capture on here. I could also draw this and say, hey, it's going to be around this particular area over here that I'm going to do my work and populate that boundary kind of however, however I want. So I hit save and once we open that up, we get some tools that are available to us. And the first tool that we'll look at is our markup palette, the markup palette, and we can move that wherever we want. Let's us capture points, photos, polygons, as well as different types of lines. We could add arrows, make it red, control all this. We also have these linkages back to the feature that might be changing as well. Here we've got a photo feature and a text field as well. So if I want to enter in some new text into the system, I can basically enter in all the information that I might want to talk about here. So meter over here, add in a meter leader line. It can have something selected to it and I could draw the point in the map to say where that text is going to go and then give it a leader line. And I can move that around, rotate it, anything else I want to do there as well. For this particular work that I'm doing, maybe I want to do even more. Maybe I want to have a, what we think of as a black line or more intelligent data entry. So if I click on my pallets over here, I can see some templated features according to my preferences as well as operational and organizational preferences as well from this list. I could select my favorite thing from the map and make a new one, or I can just pick one of these from here and say, well, this is my favorite poll. It's got all the asset information. I can change that in here. If I say, well, no, it's not going to be a 25 foot full. It's going to be a 30 foot poll. Different classes, materials, et cetera, all the way down the list. So this lets us enter in that data and all these different options that I showed here have a workflow associated with them. So you can decide how they need to go back into your GIS or to get published up to a higher level with an IQ geo using the functionality on this toolbar right up here. That's it for today.
