Desktop App - Speed Limit Change

This page has instructions on how to use the Desktop AGOL Map for the Speed Limit Change Project

Desktop App Intro

The app can be accessed by clicking here: Speed Limit Change AGOL App
The Desktop App allows you to draw signs with new speed limits and their corresponding work orders.
In order for a sign to be included in a work order, it must be inside the work order polygon boundary.
It is recommended that signs are drawn on the map first, and work orders drawn around them in a grouping that makes practical sense to you and your team.

The app starts with the Edit tab open on the right side of the screen by default. To draw features on the map, you simply click on the desired template on the Edit tab, and click on the location on the map.

Drawing Signs

Choose the appropriate template for the type of sign you're drawing. Each template comes with pre-filled attributes that make for the type of sign:

Install Future Sign
Replace Active Sign
Remove Active Sign

Click on the map to place the point.

Editing Sign Attributes

To enter and edit sign attributes, click on the sign and select the desired field. If when you click on the point, you aren't able to edit, click on the 3 dots ... on the bottom right corner of the pop-up.

Drawing Work Orders

Choose the appropriate template for the type of sign you're drawing. Each template comes with pre-filled attributes that make for the Work Order:

Not Ready to Submit
Ready to Submit (not an option when first creating a Work Order)

Click once on the map to begin drawing the Work Order polygon. You'll see a red line follow your cursor from the first place you clicked on the map. Each subsequent click on the map adds a vertex to the polygon. Double-click to finish the polygon. Instructions for editing the Work Order Polygon are below, following instructions for entering in the Work Order attributes.

Editing Work Orders

Once the Work Order polygon is finished, you can enter attribute information:

Description:
- Depending on how you choose to draw Work Orders, you'll want to write a meaningful name in this field. In the example above, the Work Order covers 12th to Webbervile on N Pleasant Valley Rd, so we named it accordingly. If you draw a Work Order to cover a neighborhood or range of blocks, you would name it accordingly: "Travis Heights" or "Wooten", or "Avenue H from 42nd to 39th, and 39th from Avenue H to Speedway."
Ready to Submit:
- This field is filled by the template and the options are listed above in the Digitizing Work Orders section.
Work Order Status:
- This field will be Null in the editing version of the Signs Work Order layer. After the Work Order has been sent to Knack, it will automatically be updated, then be filtered out of the editing version.
DIGTESS Status:
- Needed (default)
- Completed
DIGTESS Number
DIGTESS From Date
DIGTESS To Date
Nearest Segment ID
Work Order URL:
- This field will have a link to the Work Order Details page after it has been submitted to Knack. It will be blank in the edit version.

Editing the Work Order Polygon

To edit the polygon of the Work Order:

Click on the Work Order Polygon
Close the attributes pop-up using the X at the top right
Click on the edge of the polygon. You should now see the vertices of the polygon

Pull on the vertices to edit the shape of the Work Order. Grey dots represent existing vertices and white dots represent new vertices you can add to the polygon.

Right-click on a vertex you want to delete

Filters

This app includes built-in Work Order filters by status, while also allowing you to create custom filters. The Work Order filters by Status is on the Read-Only version of the Signs Work Order - Work Order Status layer where the Work Orders have already been submitted to Knack.

Each filter displays Work Orders by their matching status. By default all filters are turned off, which means that all Work Orders that have been submitted to Knack appear on the map. By clicking on a filter, only those work orders that match the value (Issued, On Hold, etc). You can select multiple filters at the same time. If you'd like to turn off all filters at once, click on the button 1 as shown in the screenshot above.
