Add users to project
To see how to add users to organization see chapter Create and edit users from our Admin-page article
Edit project view:
Navigate to project menu from admin page or select the pencil icon on map page next to the project name
Under the project user list select "Edit"
A list of users inside organizations your user has access to will be opened showing accounts on the project
Add or delete the checkmark next to the user's name to add or remove it from the project
Press Apply once finished and the changes will be made
A user will not get a notification if it is added to or removed from a project
You cannot add users from other organizations, they must be invited
If a user is added, it will get the same role to the project that it has in the account. If this needs to be changed, the user must be invited to a project
Invite users:
Under the invited users menu select "User invite"
While inviting, enter the account username, optionally enter a message and set the user role the account will get to the project
Select "Invite" to invite the user or "Cancel" to go back
If you get an error while inviting saying, the user does not exist, check that you have entered the correct username. If the user should exist but the same error is given while inviting, the user can be deactivated and must be enabled from their own organization before it can be invited
Remove users
Users can be removed from a project by:
Edit user list and toggle the checkmark of the user
Press the red cross icon next to the name of the user if it is added
If the user is invited, the invitation must be removed from the "Invited users" menu by clicking on the red cross icon
Admin-level users can add to or remove a user from multiple projects at once by editing the user. All available projects inside the organization the user belongs to are shown in the edit user menu and it can be added or removed from a project by toggling the checkmark next to the project name.
Add equipment
Some vendors require that you manage their equipment directly in their own service. In those cases the active project might also be controlled through their service
Add equipment to project
Some vendors use their own service to manage equipment also inside Infrakit. Please check your vendor's instructions on how to add equipment to Infrakit.
To see how to create equipment to organization see chapter Create and edit equipment from our Admin-page article
From edit equipment menu:
Navigate to equipment menu and select the pencil icon next to the machine's name to edit it
Available projects are shown beneath, add the machine to the project by toggling the checkmark next to the project name
Set the active project after adding the machine to a project
From edit project view:
Navigate to project menu from admin page or select the pencil icon on map page next to the project name
Under the project equipment list select "Edit"
A list of equipment inside organizations your user has access to will be opened
On the page there are two text fields, first one is the machine name and the other is the vendor of the machine control system and its' type
Add or delete the checkmark next to the equipment's name to add or remove it from the project
Press Apply once finished and the changes will be made
Edit the machine via admin menu or select the pencil icon from the equipment list
Set the project as active project from the edit machine menu
If a machine is currently in a project or organization that you do not have access to reach out to our technical support, who can transfer the machine
Remove equipment from project
Equipment can be removed from a project by:
Edit equipment list and toggle the checkmark of the list
Remove the active project
The machine may have to be also removed from the vendors service for it to not appear in the list
Trucks are managed the same way as other machine control systems
Project settings
To see project settings the user needs to be at least "Survey manager" role, but the full menu needs "Project admin" role or higher
The most important settings from the Basic settings are:
Coordinate system if you need to add offset or other conversions
The coordinate system and height system are the same as they are in the admin project settings
Height system
Default cross section model if you want a model to open with each cross section created
Main alignment is used for automatic alignment selection in mobile applications
Base drawing is used as a background maps for Truck application
Terrain model and bedrock model are opened in each cross section
Default folders for photos and logpoints can be selected here
Codelist is a .nfcl type file that is used as a standardized the line and surface codes used in the project
Map tile layers
External map tile layers are added from project settings. To see guide on how to add them see article Map Tile Layers from our Project Settings article.
All other settings from project settings page are explained in the Project Settings article.
Folder structure
Folder structure can be created by creating each folder separately but it can be slow and tedious. If you have a folder structure ready, a compressed empty folder structure can be uploaded. At least one folder must be created inside the root folder for a compressed folder to be uploaded. On later projects folder structure can be made using a Project template. A guide on that is found Here
Create a folder structure in windows or download one from a project if available
Go to Infrakit Files page
Create at least one folder on top of root folder in Infrakit
Upload the compressed file and select unzip
Wait while Infrakit creates the folder structure
For more advanced features from the files page, as-built tolerances and folder permissions can be set there.
Now you have a project with correct settings, users, machines and a folder structure ready and your project is ready to begin!
