Tab Display Position

See the screen layout below for the following embed layout options namely; Module Panel, Property Panel, Project View, and the Toolbar Button placed on the toolbar with the "PowerBI" caption.

Screenshot

The two (2) nonvisible options are as follows:

  • Hidden Global Tab (Always open, but with no UI) - This means that your embedded web page without UI elements is always open/running and will be able to capture events from the application for your integration.

  • Hidden Local Tab (Open when a project loads, but with no UI) - This means that your embedded web page without UI elements is only open/running when a sub-project is loaded and will only then start to e.g. capture events from the application for your integration.

As an example of Tab embedding you can link in a PowerBI dashboard for your projects e.g. the following is a sample dashboard courtesy of 4Subsea with data from the Norwegian Petroleum Directorate for the North Sea using the following URL:

Sample Module Embed

We use PowerBI for the module name and the Module Panel embed position:

WMS Settings

Here you or your mapping department can preconfigure the setup of different external/internal WMS servers (Mapping servers such as ArcGis) for your users so when they create new projects, they do not have to configure it first.

Screenshot

Click on the Create WMS server button to get started. Then click on the Configure button.

Screenshot

As you can see above, we create a default configuration for the Norwegian Petroleum Directorate open WMS map service named Norwegian Petroleum Directorate WMS. When your users now create a new project, they can then add mapping support to the project without configuring anything.

Screenshot

Delete - The Delete button will delete the selected WMS configuration. You will be prompted to confirm as this option is not reversable.

For information on configuring the various WMS option, please see Configure WMS

Modules

This section allows you to define various settings for external back end or 3rd party services. At the moment you will see the Cost-server configuration section displayed.

Cost-Server Settings

The cost server configuration is used if you are integrating your own costing software with Field Activity Planner Cost Server interface so that you can invoke the Server button in the Cost modules for your own proprietary cost calculation functionality. For more information and for documentation on the Cost Server interface, please contact your Field Activity Planner representative.

Screenshot

  • Cost-server field - Enter the URL pointing to the location of the Cost Server interface.

  • Security token - Enter the optional security token for cost calculation authentication.

  • Batch multiple cost queries into one - Select this checkbox if you want to avoid sending individual requests for each cost item to be calculated by the server.

  • Do not compute cost of items that have no metadata defined - Select this checkbox, then connection (or staged assets) without metadata will not be calculated by the cost server.

Note! If a metadata is set to have a default value, then it will count as a "set" metadata.

  • Configuration - This will see the Cost-server configuration.

To save your changes, scroll up to the top of the page and press the "Save changes" button.

Metadata Order

The Metadata Order setting is where you can arrange the list order of items created under Metadata for Groups and Sub Groups that appears as tabs in project view when you have selected the appropriate asset, virtual asset or connection.

Screenshot

See the Meta data section for more information on how to do this.
