This document describes how to create location geometries with the available drawing tool directly in the InfoEx system.
Step-by-step description
The following sections discuss the creation of polygon, line and point geometries separately:
- Drawing a polygon
Location types that support a polygon geometry include Operation area, Forecast area, Operating zone, Permanent closure, Ski run and Avalanche path. - Drawing a line
Location types that support a line geometry include Road, Rail, Route, Ski run and Avalanche path. - Drawing a point
Location types that support a point geometry include Operation area, Ski run, Avalanche path, Weather site and Shot placement.
ISSUE | The system currently does not support multi-geometries (i.e., multiple, separate polygons, lines or points associated with a single location). Workaround: Please contact Pascal Haegeli to discuss possible solutions. JIRA: -772 (Aug.13, 2013) |
Drawing a polygon
Location types that support a polygon geometry include Operation area, Forecast area, Operating zone, Permanent closure, Ski run and Avalanche path.
Drawing a line
Location types that support a line geometry include Road, Rail, Route, Ski run and Avalanche path.

7. | Once you are happy with the shape of your line, click on Add in the left panel of the application to submit the new location to the InfoEx database. If you have forgotten to complete one of the required fields, you will get an error message and the incomplete field will be highlighted with a red frame.
