Creating the geometry of a new location using the available drawing tools

REQUIREMENTS
Permission	Operation Administrator and higher
Connectivity	Online only

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.

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

1.	After entering the name and abbreviation of a location move to map to enter the geometry.
2.	To show the geometries of all of your existing location, click on the button. The button will change to when the geometries are shown.
3.	To show the boundaries of the mountain range polygons used for creating the mountain range associations in the InfoEx report, click on the button.
4.	Fig. 1: Drawing a polygon To draw a polygon on the map, click on the button and start creating corner points for the polygon by click on the map at desired locations (Fig. 1).

Drawing a line

Location types that support a polygon geometry include Road, Rail, Route, Ski run and Avalanche path

1.	Description of first step.
2.	Description of second step.
3.	...

Drawing a point

Location types that support a point geometry include Operation area, Ski run, Avalanche path, Weather site and Shot placement

1.	Description of first step.
2.	Description of second step.
3.	...
