Rules Control Parameters

Go to PROJECT MANAGEMENT → RULES.




A description of the interface fields is presented next:

  1. Create Rules tab: interface to create new layers.

  2. Associate Layers tab: interface for Project x Layer association.

  3. Associate Rules tab: interface for Project x Rules association.

Note that this interface has five tabs described next and that each one of them must be separately configured for each Output layer defined for the project. The configuration of these tabs for one Output layer is valid for all projects where such layer is active as an Output.

The procedures presented in this chapter can be changed or fully rewarded at any time, including during classification work. This makes the maintenance procedure of configurations of this interface very easy.

Warning: any change is instantaneously updated in the database. Therefore, in order to avoid inconsistencies in the data, execute maintenance procedure only when there is no edition being carried out. It is advisable to ask users to disconnect from the database. Also, deactivate the project in the PROJECT MANAGEMENT interface while maintenance is going on. When finished, reactivate it.

Note: If any edition or classification is executed during the maintenance procedures of this interface, the result stored in the output layer will follow the rules and active configurations in the instant of classification and can be different from the expected result, creating inconsistencies in the data saved in the database. If this happens, it will be necessary to correct the inconsistent data. This can be done by the same interpreter user after maintenance is finished, through a reclassification. In some cases, the administrator can make corrections directly on the attributes table through the table maintenance interface, accessed by the ADMINISTRATION → ATTRIBUTE TABLE MAINTENANCE menu.
