SOPAC's Site Information Manager has been upgraded (again). While version 1.2 extended
the SIM's compatibility to work with Internet Explorer, Netscape 6 and Mozilla browser types, among other enhancements, version
1.3 features additional changes we think will greatly benefit both current and future SIM users. Included in version 1.3 are
the following changes:
- Improved site selection, navigation and searching functionality
- Added "Find Sites" function, with hyperlinked sites and attribute information
- Added Go To previous active sites pulldown menu
- Site selection box now accepts keywords, site codes and site
ids...and brings you to a "Find Sites" output listing should
you enter ambiguous information and/or an incomplete site code
or SOPAC site identifier.
- Added conflict avoidance mechanisms for serial number-based Site
Metadata (privileged users only).....take two example sites,
find out what site A's current receiver is and add a
receiver transaction to site B (temporarily of course). The
SIM should notice the violation and prevent the transaction
from taking place.
- Added Site History function (privileged users only)....output format
open for suggestions.
- Incorporated support for new IGS Site Information Form format....soon
to be operational in the IGS?. This new feature actually
creates a "cluster" of new Site Metadata pages (e.g
Multipath Sources, Signal Obstructions, etc) as well as modifies/enhances
existing Site Metadata pages.
- Stripped most of the continuous-GPS-site specificity from SIM, primarily
in an attempt to better support campaign-mode GPS site information and
other possible future uses of the SIM.
- Type of Site now specified during site creation
- Type of Site shown in Find Sites output listings
- Site Code now editable in Site ID Monument section
- Improved appearance and organization of all Site Metadata sections
- Added support for user-oriented cookies and direct login via url.
If you have cookies enabled on your browser subsequent "startup"s
of the SIM (on the same computer anyway) will skip the login phase.
- Incorporated bug fixes, layout changes and client-side Javascript
improvement to Query Tool
