Adding a Smart Point from a map

You can navigate to the correct location in the map, and then select Add Smart Point from the right-click menu.  

Prerequisites

  • Project administrator has created one or more Smart Point Types for this project.

  • Depending on Smart Point Type configuration, you might need permissions to be able to create Smart Points. If you do not have sufficient permissions to create Smart Points, the Add Smart Point option is not available.

Do the following:

  1. Navigate to the desired location in the map.
  2. Right-click on the location and select Add Smart Point. New Smart Point pane opens.

  3. In the New Smart Point pane, enter the following information.

    • Type – Select the Smart Point Type. This determines the color and the icon of the Smart Point in the 3D view, and whether the Smart Point Type has attributes.

    • Name – Enter a display name for the Smart Point.
    • External ID – If the Smart Point Type requires an external ID, enter the required value. For example, if the Smart Point Type uses a hypertext adapter to perform a web search, enter the search string in this field.
    • Link to Model Item – Select the attribute, such as Equipment ID, to which to link the Smart Point. Only attributes of type "Key" and "Group" are listed.
    • [attribute name] – If the Smart Point Type has any attributes, you can select or enter a value for each attribute.

  4. Click Save.

    The Smart Point is added to the object and the Smart Point icon displays near the object.
