Upload (Write) Observation Metadata to a GIS Data Source

When you upload (write) processed features to a GIS data source for a project that includes RTK vectors and/or total station observations, you can select to upload the corresponding RTK vector and/or total station observation metadata (point IDs, elevations, instrument heights, and so on) at the same time. However, before you can upload observation metadata, you must map the observation property types in TBC (displayed in the Properties pane) to the matching fields in the GIS data source as described here.

Notes:
- If there is more than one observation associated with a point, the metadata properties for the observation with the worst accuracy are uploaded to the data source.
- The Map Metadata to GIS command filters out line and polygon feature types, which are not supported.

Prerequisites:

See the Subscription Plans page. For a license matrix by command, see the License page in the TBC Community. Also see View and manage licensed features.
You must have a connection to a GIS data source before performing this procedure.

To map observation metadata to a GIS data source:

Select Map GIS Metadata to display the Map Metadata to GIS command pane.
In the Select GIS data connection drop-down list, select the connection to the data source to which you want to upload metadata.
Each feature type in the selected data source is displayed in the GIS Available fields list. You can expand any feature type node to view the fields associated with that feature type, along with each field's data type (for example, string, decimal, double, and so on).
In the Select project object type drop-down list, select the project object whose metadata you want to upload: RTK Vector or Total Station Observation.
The properties associated with the selected object type are displayed in the Available properties list, along with each property's data type.
In the project Available properties list, select the first property you want to map to GIS.
All fields with the same data type are highlighted in the GIS Available fields list, making it easier to identify the fields to which you want to map.
In the GIS Available fields list, select one or more fields with the same data type to which you want to map the selected item.
If you want to automatically select all fields in the GIS Available fields list that have names that match the field you selected in step 5, check the Map all GIS fields with same name check box.
Click the Add Mapping button.
If you selected one or more individual GIS fields to map, they are displayed with the selected project property in the Mapped fields list and are no longer displayed in the GIS Available fields list.
If you checked the Map all GIS fields with same name check box, all fields that have names that match the field you selected display with the selected project property in the Mapped fields list and are no longer displayed in the GIS Available fields list.
Repeat this procedure for each property/field mapping you want to define.
To remove a pair mapping and add its field back to GIS Available fields list, click the Delete icon located to the right of the mapped pair.
When you are done, click Close.
The next time you upload (write) features to the selected data source, the selected properties will be written to the data source as well.
