Overview of the Drawing Entity

 

Visualization

All drawings related to an intervention can be accessed under the Drawings tab in the main menu bar. A new drawing form can be created using the Add button.

 

The icons allow viewing the drawings either as a gallery or in table format.

 

Each form type also features a tab offering an overview of the drawings associated with the current form. The example below refers to the US 1 form and its directly associated drawings, which can again be viewed either as a gallery or a table.

 

A: Add an existing drawing to the form

The button links an existing drawing from within the system to the current form. The user can thus select a drawing already listed under the Drawings tab in the main menu to associate it.

B: Add a new drawing

A new Drawing form can be created directly from the form it will be associated with, using the icon .

 

By default, each drawing uploaded or created within ArcheoBase has its own form. This allows visualization in table format and access to functionalities related to dynamic forms.

To add a drawing, select the Drawings tab in the main menu and click Add to create a new Drawing form.

The form consists of three main sections: the header, base fields, and dynamic fields.

 

A: Header

The header of the Drawing form contains two buttons:

	To access the Drawing Tool.
	To upload a scanned drawing.

 

B: Base Fields

The Base Fields of the Drawing form include:

 

The Drawing number increments automatically.

• It can be edited manually if needed.
• It can also follow a specific format, if required. In such cases, contact the support team.

The Associated with dropdown menu lists available associations.

 

C: Dynamic Fields

The Dynamic Fields make up the majority of the form’s content. As shown below, the icon is used to modify them, provided the user has Form Management rights.

 

D: Dropdown Menu

The dropdown menu offers several options:

	Opens a window showing the geographic coordinates linked to the drawing.
	Generates copies of the current form. The ID numbers increment automatically.
	Replicates the Associated with links from an existing form into the current form.

 

E: Editing Dynamic Fields

The icon indicates that the fields below are Dynamic Fields. These fields are fully customizable by the user if they have the Form Management rights.
