Creating Jobs

Job extents must be created to include the features that need to be edited.

You can define the extents for a new job in one of three modes:

Icon	Mode	Description
	Digitise an extent	Draw a polygon on the map around the feature(s) you want to include in the job extent. The polygon must consists of at least three vertices, must not self-intersect, and can not contain duplicate points.
	Define a bounding box	Specify the co-ordinates of the job extent.
	Use a feature on the map	Select one or more polygon features from the selectable layers on the map to combine and buffer to create the job extent.

Note: If your 1Spatial Management Suite administrator has configured 1Plan to automatically grow the job extents, the job extent you create only needs to include the location of the edits and the extent growing will automatically include enough features to allow edits to happen anywhere within the extent. If extent growing is not turned on, you need to ensure that the extent includes at least the entirety of any object that needs to be edited. In this case, creating extents from existing features helps to ensure that the extent is large enough.

Digitise an Extent

1. Click and then select .

2. Click on the map to digitise the job extent, and double-click to finish.

3. Now specify the job metadata and click to create the job. See Specifying Job Metadata

4. If you specify a Worker Group in the Job Data panel and are in 1Workflow mode, the Allocate Job panel is displayed.

   Click to mark the job as Allocated so it will appear in a user's Worklist.

   Click to cancel allocation and keep the job as Prepared, to allocate later.

Define a Bounding Box

1. Click and then select .

2. Define the spatial extent by entering (minimum and maximum) X and Y coordinates.

3. Click to zoom in on the extent and check the co-ordinates.

4. Click to accept the extent.

5. Now specify the job metadata and click to create the job. See Specifying Job Metadata

6. If you specify a Worker Group in the Job Data panel and are in 1Workflow mode, the Allocate Job panel is displayed.

   Click to mark the job as Allocated so it will appear in a user's Worklist.

   Click to cancel allocation and keep the job as Prepared, to allocate later.

Define a Job Extent using a Map Feature

1. Click and then select .

2. Select one or more features on the map to include in the job extent.

3. In the Buffer Details panel, enter the buffer size (in meters) and click .

   The job extent is digitised on the map.

   Note: To change the generated extent, you can select or deselect features, enter a new buffer size, and click to regenerate the extent.

4. Click to accept the extent.

5. Now specify the job metadata and click to create the job. See Specifying Job Metadata

6. If you specify a Worker Group in the Job Data panel and are in 1Workflow mode, the Allocate Job panel is displayed.

   Click to mark the job as Allocated so it will appear in the Worklist for users in the specified worker group.

   Click to cancel allocation and keep the job as Prepared, to allocate later.

Specifying Job Metadata

Once you have defined the extent of a job you have options when defining the Job metadata in the Job Data Panel (see Job Data Panel for more information):

• You can manually fill in the mandatory fields and appropriate optional fields.

• You can copy the job metadata for the last created job from your current browser by selecting the Reuse last attributes button . This can make it easier to create similar jobs in sequence. You will be prompted if copying the metadata will overwrite any values you have already specified manually.
