1Edit Key Concepts

The following key concepts are important to understand before using 1Edit.

Workflow Options

Depending on your deployment of 1Edit you will have one of two Workflows:

Schema and Templates

1Edit works with internal object-oriented Schemas with hierarchical sets of feature classes containing spatial and non-spatial attributes.

Schemas, Styles and Topologies can be saved as Templates, which are then used to create new projects.

Styles

Styles are used to specify how the map is shown on the screen.

     Note: Styles are sometimes known as the "Representation" in other systems. Styles replace tools to modify representation.

In 1Edit you can have multiple pre-defined Styles and can switch quickly between them, you can also create custom styles.

Within , you can use background raster or map service layers, and specify which feature types will be displayed on the map.

     Note: Styles can be saved and used across different projects.

Bookmarks

Bookmarks allow you to return to a specific map view and location quickly.

They can be created manually to save user specified locations. Bookmarks can be shared between projects.

See Bookmarks for more information.

Rules and Validation

1Edit allows data quality validation rules written in 1Integrate to be loaded and run on the data in a project for Validating Data. These validation rules can be written to check that the data being edited meets an organisation's business rules.

Topology

A Topology is created by specifying the set of classes that need to remain connected when editing their shared geometry, as well as a name, a topology type, and a tolerance.

There are three topology types available to users of 1Edit:

  • Planar

  • Network t-junctions

  • Network ends
