This page explains how to configure data entry for the avalanche control extension. See the avalanche control workflow module for configuration information for the avalanche control extension workflow module used for planning prior to field operations. The configuration is found in 'Operation Settings' accessed from the administration menu (cog wheel) (Fig. 1).

Background

Fig. 2: Avalanche Control Extension Data Entry Configuration in Operation Settings.

The avalanche control configuration (Fig. 2) allows you to specify the settings you would like to use for your avalanche control data entry.

However, before you can successfully configure your data entry for this extension you must ensure your location catalog is set up to allow this.

In your location catalog you need to do the following:

• Add your control routes. You can add photos to control route locations. These photos appear on the control route data entry screen for reference but CANNOT be drawn on using the photo overlay drawing functionality.
• Add your avalanche paths as child locations of your control routes or drag and drop existing avalanche paths to their parent control route. Photos can be added to avalanche path locations and CAN be drawn on using the photo overlay drawing functionality during data entry.

Each of these ratings are associated with a keyboard shortcut for most efficiently rating locations during a workflow, a color and an icon for displaying the ratings within the workflow step, the workflow summary, the PDF print out and any location status reports.

With the exception of the 'Not considered' rating, it is possible to modify the default ratings and add additional ratings to create a configuration that fits the needs of your operation.

Step-by-step description

Click on the button above the top left corner of the user table. This will open a small popup window (Fig. 2). Edit the information provided in the pop-up window. Click on OK to save your changes. To add a new rating: Click on the button above the top left corner of the user table. This will open a small popup window (Fig. 2). Enter the information requested in the pop-up window. Click on OK to add the new rating to your list. To delete a rating: Select the rating you would like to delete by clicking on its row in the table. Click on the button above the top left corner of the user table. This remove the rating from your list. ISSUE Attempting to delete a rating currently results in an error message and therefore is not possible. Workaround: None available. JIRA: -RR-231 (Dec.2, 2014)
