Dossier Media Studio - Add Symbols and Pictures to maps in the Dossier Studio
Modified on 2016/07/11 23:02 by Adam — Categorized as: Uncategorized
The
Dossier Studio
contains the ability to annotate the maps and forms created within Surety Pro with different Symbols as well as images or pictures and eventually audio and video (future release).
These features are very useful for marking out land classifications, different crops, sensitive areas, pointing out certain land features, and much more.
The Dossier Studio opens up even more possibilities by allowing the
import of custom symbols
that are unique to each account.
The Media Studio is located to the right of the opened page in the Dossier and contains tabs on the top of the panel to indicate what type of media library you are accessing.
The first tab indicates the symbols library.
The second tab indicates the imported pictures library
The third and fourth tabs are reserved for future capabilities of importing video and audio.
Symbols
¶
After adding a map or form to the Dossier Studio
(See:
How to add a Map, Form or Report to the Dossier Studio
)
we can start adding symbols by first clicking on the symbols tab in the Media Studio panel.
The pre-loaded symbols are categorized by type.
Click on a category to access the symbols for use.
To place a symbol on the added map or form, left click the symbol so it is highlighted then left click on the currently open page to place it.
Scale the symbol by left clicking on the icon and bringing up the scaling nodes
Rotate by clicking and dragging the extended node on the top of the symbol
Pictures
¶
Uploaded pictures appear under the camera tab within their respective folders.
Click on a picture then click on the Dossier page to place it. Double Click the placed image to be able to scale and rotate it with the edit nodes.
Delete uploaded pictures from the account by selecting the image within the folder and clicking the trash can button to delete it from the account. (
Note:Not Reversible
)
