Compiling Features

(1/1)

PeterC:
Once a list of un-georeferenced features has been prepared in a Features.csv file (eg from The Journal or transcripts), then the next stages of the process are:
* Ensure the Features.csv file is in UTF8 format with no BOM
* for Notepad++ use the menu Encoding - click on Convert to UTF-8 (without BOM), save and reload to check it is still encoded as UTF-8
* Add the All Features layer
* Upload and compile
* Georeference the Features(If not already done) Add the All Features layer to the LayerDefs_Feature.csv file:
* Whereas other processes may be done more than once, this one is done just once
* Where the fieldnames are
layertype;category;title;csvname;candownload;url;attribution;mapkey;minx;miny;maxx;maxy;shorttext;description;fl_Ncols;flhead_col1;layerdescription
* the All Features layer entry is
Vector;Local;All Features;AllFeatures;TRUE;AllFeatures.geojson;#PDC#;;;;;;;;1;;These are all the features as we have recorded them.Upload and compile:
* In M4OPS for your OPS (first Dev then, when tested, Production):
* Click on the Upload Tab
* Click on Choose Files, Browse to the folder where your csv files are located
* If you have updated the LayerDefs_Feature.csv file:
* Select the LayerDefs_Feature.csv file and click on Open
* Click on Upload, and (if necessary) provide the password
* When the Uploaded OK message appears click on OK
* As you have updated the Features.csv file:
* Select the Features.csv file and click on Open
* Click on Upload, and (if necessary) provide the password
* When the Uploaded OK message appears click on OK
* Click on Compile
* When the (detailed) compilation results message appears click on OK or Cancel
* (As after every Compile) Clear your browser cache, and reload M4OPS
See Georeferencing Features for the next stage.
