Other job settings

To configure additional settings, such as adding description fields or configuring the point range for the job, or to add measured points to a CSV file, in the Create job or Edit job screen, expand the Other section.

The following settings are available.

To display two additional description fields in some software screens, select the Use descriptions check box and then enter the label names.

The description fields are similar to Code fields because they enable you to add additional information to data. They do not use feature code libraries, and they do not support attributes.

Select the Use attributes of base code check box to provide attributes for the complete code, or from a portion of the code – the "base code". This setting is applied throughout the Trimble Access software, including Measure codes.

Typically, base codes are used when you "string" feature codes together so that observations coded with one code have the same attributes as observations coded with a different code.

If you string codes, and the feature library includes only the base code, then select the Use attributes of base code check box.

If you do not string codes, or if you do string codes but you include the entire code in the feature library, then you are not using base codes and you should clear the Use attributes of base code check box.

To specify the minimum and maximum point name for the job, select the Apply point name range check box and then enter the required point names.

The point names must be numeric. Numbers that include decimal points or alphabetic characters are ignored. Negative and positive numbers are supported.

To add points measured using Measure topo or Measure rounds to a CSV file, select the Add to CSV file check box and then enter the CSV file name. By default, the CSV file is stored in the current project folder.

You can use this option to create a file of control points.
