Widget Types

Editing a widget gives different options based on widget type. Plan Inventory, Auto-draft information and the Legend are not editable. If a widget is too small to show all of the contained information a Warning icon will appear to let you know.

ClosedPlan Map and Diversion Map

To increase the readability of the plan, annotations can be added both the Plan Map and Diversion Map widgets. There are three annotation types, Leader Line, Measurement, and Text.

Annotations are added with the Add New Feature button in the same way as when Editing Plans.

Map View

The map orientation can be adjusted using some of the same features as the map Interface and the map elements can be customised.

Click the Map Elements icon to access placement customisation for the North Arrow and Scale Bar.

For Diversion Maps, click the Select Routes icon to select which Diversion Routes to show.

Once you have the view you want click the Back button and the edit to the widget is temporarily saved.

Type

Description

Add Leader Lines to reposition features

Leader Lines allow features to be moved to another part of the map while a leader line shows the point it belongs at.

The feature icon can be changed to a different size to increase readability.

      Note: The feature icons will always face you.

Add measurements

Measurements can show Total, Cumulative and Incremental values for a multiple point line added to the map.

A label can be added to this and the start and end of the full line can have different arrow types.

Place Text

Text can be added directly to the map with a chosen bearing.

      Note: This attaches flat on the map and can be covered by other features so positioning informs its readability.

After adding annotations each can be edited in the same way as when editing features.

ClosedPlan Information

All the Plan Information is customisable by selecting/deselecting the information to be shown in the widget.

ClosedDiversion Inventory

Diversion Inventory can be customisable to only show inventory of the selected Diversion Routes.

ClosedNotes

Notes can be added to display on the PDF pages. This allows basic formatting and can include hyperlinks to external web addresses. The preview shown in the right panel uses the size of the widget to give an accurate depiction of what will be shown on the PDF page.
