Table Of Contents (TOC)

Setting up a TOC is the first step in creating a waterRIDE™ project. Each node in the TOC tree is a view.

(Note that the user of waterRIDE™ in Viewer mode will see only the TOC, while the Manager/DATA Manager will have to access the edit structure of the project and the contents of views.)

In the Table of Contents section of the NavBar there can be Base views and Child views.

For example:

clip12114

By right clicking on the TOC pane, the user brings up a popup menu that allows the table of contents to be edited/created.

clip11908

 

New: Brings up a sub-menu which allows the user to create either a base view or child view. The base view that is created is added to the bottom of the list. However, when a child view is created, it is added as a sub-heading to the view that was selected when right-clicking.

Copy: Copy the selected view for pasting elsewhere in the Project.

Cut: Cuts the selected view for pasting elsewhere in the Project (note cut essentially moves the view as it does not make a duplicate copy).

Paste View to selected: Place the copied or cut view as a child view of whatever view is selected (even if it was a base view initially).

Paste View to base: Place the copied or cut view as a Base view (even if it was a child view initially). This can be used to bulk copy a View structure.

Paste branch to seleted: Pastes the copied or cut view including all its child views as a child view of whatever view is selected (even if it was a base view initially).

Paste branch to base: Pastes the copied or cut view including all its child views as a base view (even if it was a child view initially). This can be used to bulk copy a Branch structure.

Move Up: Will move the selected view towards the top of the view listing (also CTRL+Up).

Move Down: Will move the selected view towards the bottom of the view listing (also CTRL+Down).

Delete View/Branch: Will remove a selected view (and any child views) from the project

Rename: Will allow you to change the selected view’s name (also F2)

Allow Zoom/Pan: Switches the zoom and pan tools on so that they can be used to analyse the project. (Note: this function is on by default)

Enable Image Gallery: This tool allows the user to view one image at a time. When this tool is switched on a button StepThruBtn appears in the main toolbar which allows the images to be scrolled through one at a time.

NOTES:

- The 'Right Click New View' entry can itself be used as a view, simply by changing its name.

- There is no limit to the number of Child view sub-levels you can have (i.e. you can have sub-headings of sub-headings, etc.). However, note that the user will have to use the horizontal scroll bar to view very complex multi-level projects due to the pre-defined width of the blue bar.

- It is not necessary to add layers or links to views as they are created (i.e. if you prefer, the entire ‘story' (table of contents) can be set up before you add layers to the views)

- Remove, although it deletes a view from the project, it will not affect any other layers in other views. (i.e. the view is removed but the underlying layers are still linked in the project).

 

Copy/Paste Replace - Bulk TOC Creation

Copying/Pasting a branch/view that contains an active water surface in all child views will bring up the Copy/Paste Replace form:

clip0471

This form allows the user to substitute the active water surface layer with another layer from the project (the layers must be added to the project to be able to be used).

For example, the "PMF" view is used in the TOC below as a "template" for the other water surfaces (5yr, 10yr, 20yr and 100yr):

clip11909

Paste Branch to Base

clip11910

The above branches can then be renamed accordingly.
