Defining Attributes for a Code

User-defined code attributes 

 For each code, you can add up to 25 user-defined attributes in one of the
 following formats:

• Text: Input is treated as plain text.

• Value: Input is restricted to numerical values.

• List: Allows you to define a pick list with as many list items as necessary.

Example

To enhance the code "Tree" in a feature survey, you could define the attribute "Species" as pick list, the attributes "Height", "Spread" and "Trunk diameter" in numerical format and the attribute "Tree tags" in text format. 

 How to edit code attributes step-by step

↪  You can edit the code attributes by editing an existing code or when defining a new code.
 Configure the Measure bar to display Code or Attributes. Refer to Measure bar.

1. To display the codelist view, tap Code in the Measure bar. 
   ↪  Alternatively, tap Attributes in the Measure bar and tap the code name to display the following screen:
   ↪ Defining or changing the code attributes is only possible in the full codelist view. If necessary, deactivate Compact view in the Toolbox.
2. To change the code attributes, define a new code or edit an existing code:
   •  To define a new code, select New from the Toolbox.
   •  To edit an existing code, tap .
3.  To edit the code attributes, tap Attribute Names.
4. • Enter the name of an attribute and tap  to accept.
   • By default, the attribute is in text format. Tap Text to change the attribute format.

How to assign code attributes step-by-step

 Assigning code attributes to points while measuring

↪ Configure the Measure bar to display Attributes. Refer to Measure bar.

1.  Measure a point. Before you store the point, tap Attributes in the Measure bar to display the "Code Attributes" screen.
   ↪  The attributes of the currently selected code are displayed within the Attributes container. If no code is selected, the Attributes container is not displayed. Tap Code to select a code with different attributes or to define a new code.
2. • To change an attribute in list format, tap the attribute name and select an item from the list.
   •  For attributes in text or numerical format, enter the desired value.
   ↪  If you activate the checkbox Always Prompt, the "Code Attributes" screen is displayed each time a point is stored. Activate the checkbox if you need to measure many detail points with attributes.
3.  To save the code attributes, tap .
   
   

 Assigning code attributes to points using the point list

1.  Select Point List  from the Map handler.
   
2.  A list of available files is opened. Select the files you want the Point List to be created for. Multiple file selection is possible.
3.  Tap  to accept the selection and proceed to the Point List.
4. To select a point for editing, tap the respective row in the point list.
5. Tap  and select Edit . The Edit Point screen is displayed.
   ↪ The attributes of the currently selected code are displayed. If no code is selected, no attributes are displayed. Tap Code to select a code with different attributes or to define a
    new code.
