This is an advanced feature, but is integral to Orbitas operation. Orbitas is Utility asset collection software so every point automatically “parents” to the location that was collected before it. There are instances however, where a user will wish to collect a location that should not be used for Creation of the Line.
A good example of this is a “Marker” location which may be offset from the actual centerline of the utility.
Keep in mind “"Not On Line"” features can not be used as parents to other locations.
This special Location Type is configuration specific
If your configuration has a “Not on Line” feature you would like to collect make sure to select that as your Location Type when collecting your location.
Collect a “Not On Line” location in the same manner you would collect a location.
Once collection has started and you are in the collection form, change your location type to your ‘Not On Line” type
Fill out the rest of the collection as needed
click SAVE
If this is the only “Not On Line” location be sure to change the Location Type back to an ’On Line” feature for your next location.
