[Nov 2019]
This is a brief description of the functions
of the Sites List database.
NOTE: To exit from this document, use the “Back” button on your phone. You
will then be at the screen showing two panels.
The Blue panel is the standard map information
panel; the Green panel [covering the map] is the Sites List.
The following describes the Site List
functions:
“Site List” button
in the Blue section will show/hide the Site List.
Initially the Site List has a number of
entries; these are fictitious sites for demonstration purposes only.
Delete these after you have entered at least
one location of your own.
“Store” button
takes the Site Name from the title bar of the Blue panel and the Longitude and
Latitude of the BTS/A-END and stores this as a new entry in the database.
This new entry is immediately displayed in the
site list in alphabetical order.
[NOTE:
The selection of BTS or A-END data depends whether the App is in BTS
mode or End to End mode.]
“BTS/A-END” button moves the BTS/A-END icon on the map to the site entry selected
in the Site List.
To select a site from the list tap the entry
and the Site Name will be displayed on the Green title bar.
When the “BTS/A-END” button is tapped the
BTS/A-END icon moves to the selected location on the map.
“LandMark” button moves the Land Mark icon to the
selected location on the map.
“Del” button removes the selected entry from the database and the site
list. Before deletion the Site Name,
Longitude and Latitude details are transferred to the map information [Blue],
if the deletion was an error, tapping the “Store” button
will restore the entry to the database.
“Imp” button
is used to import a site list, this import will overwrite the existing data and
existing records will be lost.
The user must first copy a CSV file of list into the
ABT folder on the phone.
The CSV file would normally be generated from a spreadsheet or database and must be named “impsitelist.csv”.
The CSV file must be based on three columns, Site Name,Longitude,Latitude.
Headers are optional and will not affect the import.
“Imp+” button
is similar to the Imp button but does not overwrite the existing data. The imported list is appended to the existing
data; if there are duplicates the duplicates are deleted.
A record is only seen as a duplicate if ALL data
matches. EG If there are two records
with the name London but with different Latitudes they will not be seen as
duplicates.
“Exp” button is used to export the current site list as a
CSV file to the ABT folder. This file is
named expsitelist.csv and has no headers.
“?” button displays a quick info file exit by using the phones back
button.
SEARCH FUNCTION: Tap on the Green Title Bar
and edit the Site Name. As the text
changes the site list will scroll to the closest match, the more of the name
typed the closer the match.
End the search using the keyboard return key.
