Prepare project phases
License:
Available with an ArcGIS Topographic Mapping license.
A project in the Topographic Production Manager (TPM) web app can contain multiple phases, each with its own attributes. Once the app contains a project, phases are required before you can use the app to manage work.
Create a phase
To create a phase, complete the following steps:
Click the Design tab at the top if it's not already the active view.
Click the Projects tab on the side.
Click More options
for an existing project and choose Add Phase.The CREATE PHASE tab becomes active.
Provide a name for the phase in the Name text box.
Provide a description of the phase in the Description text box.
Provide the start date for the phase in the Start Date text box.
Tip:
Click the calendar icon
in the text box to choose a date from a calendar.Provide the end date for the phase in the End Date text box.
Tip:
Click the calendar icon
in the text box to choose a date from a calendar.
The phase's properties are set. The map settings for the phase must be configured.
Configure the map
After the phase's properties have been set, configure the phase's map settings by completing the following steps:
Click the MAP tab.
Click the Area of Interest drop-down arrow and choose the corresponding index layer.
By default, the phase uses the project's area of interest (AOI).
In the Longitude and Latitude text boxes, specify the longitude and latitude values for the location that the phase should center on.
By default, the phase uses the project's coordinates.
Provide a numerical value in the Zoom Level text box that corresponds to the extent of the phase.
By default, the phase uses the project's extent.
Tip:
Preview the extent and location on the adjacent interactive map. Adjusting this map updates the specified values.
Click SAVE.
The phase is created and listed in the Projects pane under the corresponding project. On the project item, click More options and choose Add Phase to add another phase, or update a phase's settings by selecting it from the list and providing new values for the phase's properties.
Note:
When updating a phase's settings, the CREATE PHASE tab becomes the UPDATE PHASE tab.
