To Create the Survey Database

The Survey module stores measurements, calculation settings, and results in a separate database schema. You use Infrastructure Administrator to create the Survey database.

Survey Database

We recommend that you use one separate Survey database to store the all your survey projects and measurements. After the calculation and analysis of the results you will transfer the new points to their target industry models. See also Survey Database.

Projects for Survey

We recommend that you create projects that contain both the Survey database and the target industry models. For example, the Land industry model stores the basic data, such as connecting points and parcels. The Wastewater industry model stores the wastewater network. To process measurements, create a project that contains the Survey database and the Land and Wastewater industry models.

Also, in the field code list, if you use placeholders, you can only replace the placeholders with the industry models that are available in the current project. See Fill Industry Model.

1. Start Infrastructure Administrator.
2. Click Enterprise and log in.
3. Click Project New.
4. Enter a project name, such as Survey. Click Create.
5. Under Industry Models, click New.
6. In the Create Industry Model dialog box, on the General tab, enter the industry model name, and the Database settings.
7. Click the Units tab, and enter the industry model units for length, angle, temperature, and pressure. See also Working With Units.
8. Click the Modules tab, and select Survey Module.
9. Click OK.

Managing additional base points and detail points

As an exception, you can use reference points from industry models that are not part of your current project. For example, if you administer your industry models by municipality, but want to reference points from other municipalities that are not part of your current project. We recommend that you only use additional points, if you need to reference a small number of points from separate industry models. Keep in mind that these points are just a copy of the current state, and that the points are maintained in their own industry models.

To use additional base points and detail points

You store the additional points in the survey database, in the system tables Basepoint (TB_SUR_BASEPOINT), and Detailpoint (TB_SUR_DETAILPOINT).

• Use Coordinate Export to export additional points.
• Use Coordinate Import to import the points into your survey database.
• To view the additional points, click Calculation Project menu Manage Additional Basepoints, and Project menu Manage Additional Detailpoints.
