8.5.7 Notes for Permit Database
Level of expertise required for this Chapter: Advanced
a) The previous coding system of Sector – Block – Parcel is kept for easier transfer to the new system for a transition time. Search can be done for this code under 'Parcels > Search parcel for old unit'.
- - - -
b) Changing classes (styles) should be avoided by any means, but if necessary and unavoidable, following changes have to be made in the system:
Style file in folder C:\Map Maker\Configuration\Style library, then distribute to all folders Library of the server and all decentralized computers
Adjust all existing data (!!!) at the server and all decentralized computers
Annex 5 of this Manual
- Annex 6 of this Manual
- - - -
G) The process to make IDs equal to the display labels, where the UPNs have been entered to, is automatically called by the function ‘Quality Control: GIS’ .
It can also be invoked invoked manually in Map Maker – Live Layer through: Live layer actions > Live layer actions window: IDs and labels > Amend labels and IDs > OK > Set IDs equal to display label > OK and save.
- - - -
H) Similarly, the process to copy data from the Structure Plan DRA file to the Permit Database is automatically called by the function ‘Import from GIS (Structure Plan --> PDB’ .
It can also be invoked invoked manually in Map Maker – Live Layer through: Live layer actions > Live layer actions window: Spatial queries > Inherit attributes from other file > OK > Inherit attributes from other file window: Polygon file > Select folder and file of Structure Plan > Tick: Inherit styles > No tick: Inherit labels > OK and save.
- - - -
I) Similarly, the process to delete duplicate objects is automatically called by the function ‘Quality Control: GIS’.
It can also be invoked invoked manually in Map Maker – Live Layer through: Live layer actions > Live layer actions window: Tidy > Remove duplicate objects > OK and save.
- - - -
J) The name of the Local Plan should not have more than 12 letters/characters (see also Annex 10).
- - -
K) If a district logo is available and saved in Folder C:\LUPMIS\Permits\Support under the filename Logo_district_xxxxxx (where xxxxxx = district name of max 6 letters, but no spaces), this logo will appear at the top right of the issued permits (instead of ‘LUPMIS’).
