The following section beginning with
1.5.3.2 Manager Controls discusses features available to the
project manager starting with the Project Mark Page. The text has been edited to direct program use by
the project manager. Although many processes seem similar to the session pages, accessible by project
members, they may be distinctly different in menu appearance and process flow. They have been
provided here for rapid access and clarity.

1.58). These include:
Figure 1.58 - Project manager controls for the mark web page
1.5.3.2.1
Manager’s Page
A shortcut directly to the project manager’s web page.
1.5.3.2.2
Change Project Mark ID
The '
Change Project Mark ID'
button reveals
a pop-up window
with controls to change this
mark's four character ID. Typical
pop-up window controls appear
across the top of the window
(Figure 1.59). Below those
controls are the rules for a mark
ID, then two entry fields: an entry
and confirmation field. When the
new mark ID field is changed, the
confirmation field is enabled (no
longer grayed out). To '
Apply
Change and Close',
the input and
confirmation IDs must match.
1.5.3.2.3
Remove Project Mark
The '
Remove Project Mark'
button will display a message
requesting confirmation before
removing the mark (Figure 1.60).
If confirmed, the mark, its data
files, all processing solutions and
network adjustment that include
those mark data files are
permanently removed from the
project and the updated project
manager’s page is displayed.

1.5.4 Shared Mark
Web Page Mock-up
Below the map is a mock-up of a
shared mark webpage. Note
that in the label identifying this
section is another pull-down
menu used to navigate to other
project mark web pages (Figure
1.62). The overall layout of this
section of the web page is
consistent (Section
1.5.4.1
).
Additional controls, specifically
related to the mark description,
are provided for the project manager (Section
1.5.4.2
)
.
1.5.4.1 Standard Shared Mark Web Page Mock-up Information
This mock-up mimics the OPUS-DB shared mark web page in that it contains a minimal amount of
information:
PID:
-permanent Identifier assigned when new project marks are observed and their
data submitted to NGS.
stamping:
-the
unique mark ID, if any, that the original mark-setter struck into the disk (brass
or aluminum cap) when the mark was set and/or reset.
name:
-is a user-friendly identifier, unique for the area and usually descriptive of the
mark stamping or location.
type:
-a physical description of the type of surveyed monument.
setting:
-the structure to which a mark is affixed. There is a
specific setting optional field
to add comments about the setting.
description: -(for new project marks) state distances and directions (swing ties) to local
features (posts, trees, building corners, street centerlines, etc.) along with any
other salient features (recommended approach, hazards, etc.). This will help
future surveyors recover and assess the suitability of the mark for use in their
project. The description may be updated.
stability:
-estimate of the long-term stability of the mark.
magnetic:
-specifies any magnetic material in or alongside the setting to aid in mark
recovery.
application: -use to identify marks for specific special applications.
condition:
-a basic estimate of the project marks condition.
Empty or erroneous fields are highlighted to help visually identify problems: red for errors in
required fields; yellow for optional fields. Also required are two photos: a close-up such that the
mark disk surface is readily visible and any stamping is readable and a horizon shot aligned
to show
the most recognizable local features: witnesses, visibility obstructions, equipment in use or to
clarify the mark location. Thumbnails (smaller images representative of the full-sized images) of
these photos, if they have been provided, are shown to the right of the description. Clicking on one
of the thumbnails reveals a pop-up window with the full sized image.
