Setup locations and drawings
Purpose
Upload drawings to your Capture List and associate them with locations.
Background
On your Capture List, locations are made up of two things; The drawings you upload and the list fields you create to define your location.
Things you should be attentive to
- You need to create "list" type fields for your locations.
- For example, if you want to build your structure with floors and rooms, you must first create a list field with the floors, and then a new list field for rooms, which you depend on floor. See the example under "How to".
How to
You must go through the following 3 steps:
- Step 1: Create list fields to your locations
- Step 2: Upload drawings
- Step 3: Connect drawings and locations
Step 1: Create list fields to your locations
You need to start by choosing the structure of your location. In this example, we create a location structure with floors and rooms.
- Open your Capture List
- Go to the "Setup" menu
- Click the "Add" button
- Enter the name of your first location (Here we enter "Floor")
- Select "List" by "Data type:"
- Click "Edit"
- Enter the data that suits your first location (Here we enter all the floors)
- Click "OK"

- Click "Edit"
- Enter the data that fits (Here we enter the rooms that fit the different floors)
- Click "OK"
- Click "OK" again (the guide will continue below the picture)
Step 2: Upload drawings

- Click "OK"
- The locations are loaded and you can now see all your set up locations (The guide continues below the picture)
- From each location, select the drawing that fits in the dropddown menu that says "Select"
- Continue this until all locations have a drawing that matches
Split a drawing into sections
Purpose
Split a drawing into sections - For example, if you have a very large and detailed drawing.
Background
You can split a drawing into sections, to make it more manageable, or to divide it into rooms or apartments, for example.
Your sections can then be connected to your locations, exactly as described in the guide: Set up locations and drawings.
