To create or edit links from Geodatasets to Reports and/or Roads, Editor level access is required for the Exploratory Locations module (see Access Levels).
See here for how to check your current access level. See here for how to apply for a change in access level.
A Geodataset, and thereby the associated Exploratory Locations, can be linked to a Report and/or Roads.
A Geodataset can only be linked with a single Report, most commonly an interpretive Report which analyses the ground investigation results, whilst it can be linked to several Roads.
Although optional forming these links is strongly advised, as it makes the search tools more effective, and will help other users find relevant information.
Linking a Geodataset to its associated factual report allows future users to understand
the limitations and context of the investigation results, and also to check the contents of the file are accurate.
First navigate to the Details page of the Geodataset by using one of the search tools.
Click Link Report on the Command Bar.
A summary grid listing all of the Reports will be displayed. Find the correct one using the filtering and sorting tools.
Select it, then click Link on the Command Bar.
The link will be formed and an entry will be added to the Geodataset's Audit Log to record the change.
First navigate to the details page of the Geodataset by using one of the search tools.
Click Update Roads on the Command Bar.
The Roads which will be linked to the Geodataset are shown in the left hand panel. To add one or more roads, select them from the full list of roads in the right panel, then click Add Road(s) on the Command Bar. To remove a Road, similarly select it from the left hand panel and click Remove Road(s) on the Command Bar.
When finished click Finish Updating.
The link will be formed and an entry will be added to the Geodataset's Audit Log to record the change.
