General description
Quantify is a special type of report that allows you to attribute costs to surveyed points, lines, areas and volumes. Based on an imported cost file, the software calculates the job costs according to the quantity of surveyed features and the accordingly defined prices.
Cost file
A cost file contains the following information:
• Code
Name of the code. The name stands for the survey feature to which the
code is applied.
• Description
Further description of the code.
• Cost
Cost rate for the survey feature. Such rates are normally defined by contract.
• Entity Code
Type of entity to be used for quantifying. See code explanation in the header of the cost file. Example: If a line is measured using a code specified for the entity "point", the line is not taken into account in the Quantifier report.
• Attribute
Up to 25 attributes can be defined for a code.
Basic steps for generating a Quantifier report
• Start a new job.
• Import a cost file containing the necessary codes for quantification.
• Survey the applicable features to be included into the Quantifier report by assigning the respective codes.
• Generate and export a Quantifier report based on the contents of the job.
Importing a cost file as codelist
☞ A sample cost file (sample pricelist_comma.csv) is included in the system folder: "...\Documents\Leica Geosystems\iCON\Codes".
Measuring features for quantification: There are two options to include measured features in the quantification process
• Automatic quantification
Measured features are automatically included by assigning a code to the
measured feature.
This option applies to points, lines, polylines measured with a line code,
and closed polylines measured with an area code.
• User-defined quantification
Measured features are added manually when generating the Quantifier
report.
This option applies to areas and volumes.
Refer to Generating a quantifier report.

☞ Ensure that the active job contains the imported cost file.
