Hi Everyone, First off, Trimble thank you for addressing an improvement for the flags pane. I am currently using it and seeing what options are available.
After a few minutes, I can tell that it is an improvement over what we had before. Thank you.
Our goal with each addition of the Access job files from the day of field surveying, is to ask the folks who import that day of data be responsible for reconciling as many of the flags as they possibly can that were created by the data imported from that day's job file. Sometimes this is the project surveyor doing the import and sometimes it is the party chief. Regardless, it is critical not to let flags and warning pile up and we want them addressed.
The previous flag pane didn't not leave many options beyond memorizing which remaining flags were considered low priority and which we couldn't resolve and which may throw some level of doubt on our measurements overall accuracy within itself.
Now, we can program in our own values for as many different types of flags as we would want to create and that let's us only focus on the new ones.
Before, we would change the project settings to make tilt error flags go away, or mean angle errors. Now we can look at each of those and group them into a category that let's us remember that as related to the project, those warning are not material, or however you want to explain that.
My only further request, would be to be able to turn those off visually, so a list of 200 tilt sensor warnings doesn't over whelm the view while we look for the warnings that reveal a 1.4 foot rod bust, or prism constant slip up. We can turn them off visually in plan and 3d view, but not in list view and it would be awesome to be able to turn them off in list view also.
Regardless, great job. I appreciate the hard work Trimble team. Thank you for listening. That means alot.
