Excavations List View
When there were multiple excavations in close proximity it could sometimes be difficult to find each distinct excavation marker. This also make it difficult for applicants to update the re-instatement. To address this, and to provide a quick visual overview, a "List View" has been introduced. switch between the current Map View and List View on the Works Segments tab.
The list will include details such as the number of surfaces, the coordinates and excavation area, and a link to open the excavation on the map.
As a alternative to the map view, the excavation details can now be viewed using the new "List View" mode. The list will include the following details with a link to open the excavation on the map. 1.Excavation Code: Unique code for the excavation. This is visible when hovering over a marker on the map. 2.Coordinates (GPS): Depending on the excavation type, this will display either "Point" or "Polyline" followed by the coordinates. The excavation can be opened and viewed on the map be clicking anywhere on the excavation row. 3.Street Type: For now, the street type will be based on the traffic impact number. (In a future release, with full PMS integration, this will show the road number and/or street name). 4.No. of Surfaces: Indicates the number of surfaces added to the excavation. 5.Highest Traffic Impact: When there are multiple surfaces added to an excavation this will show the number of the surface with the highest traffic impact. 6.Excavation Area (m2): This is calculated as the Length x Width of the excavation. 7.Status: This will show the reinstatement status (i.e complete or incomplete). Using the list view, you can also quickly see the total number of excavations added to the application. |
