|
||||||
|
=== Manipulating Dive Site Information
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The dive site information of all dives is managed as a separate entity independent of the dive information.
|
||||||
|
Selecting the rightmost tab of the *Notes panel*,
|
||||||
|
labelled "Dive sites" brings up the _dive sites management panel_ (image below).
|
||||||
|
Linking a dive to a dive site is performed from within the Notes tab showing the information for
|
||||||
|
that dive (see the section on xref:S_locations[Locations]). On the other hand the dive sites management panel allows
|
||||||
|
dive-independent data to be managed. A new dive site can be created either while editing a dive (within the *Notes* tab,
|
||||||
|
see xref:S_locations[Locations]) or it could be created within the dive sites management panel (image below).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
image::images/DiveSitesTab.jpg["FIGURE: Dive sites tab",align="center"]
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If a description for a dive site has previously been entered, this is shown in the panel
|
||||||
|
as well as the number of dives at each site. The list of sites can be ordered by clicking
|
||||||
|
on any of the three headings. A dustbin and an edit icon are on the left of each dive site name.
|
||||||
|
The following actions are possible for managing the collection of dive sites:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
==== Filter the list of dive sites
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
At the top right of the dive site management panel is a text box (see image above). If you wish to only show dives
|
||||||
|
from a particular site, then type a partial dive site name such as "Genova". This shows only the dive sites
|
||||||
|
that have been described for Genova, assuming that the word "Genova" forms part of the dive site name
|
||||||
|
or description.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
==== Edit a dive site
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The information for each dive site can be edited either from from within the *Notes* tab or
|
||||||
|
within the *Dive sites* tab. In order to edit the dive site information, select the
|
||||||
|
Edit icon to the left of the dive site name (see image above). Editing dive site information
|
||||||
|
from within the *Notes* tab is discussed in the section on xref:S_locations[Locations] where
|
||||||
|
each of the fields in the dive site edit panel is explained.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
image::images/DiveSiteEdit.jpg["FIGURE: Dive site edit",align="center"]
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Add any desirable information to the tab. Editing of coordinates is explained in the
|
||||||
|
section dealing with xref:S_locations[Locations]. Having finished editing the dive site information,
|
||||||
|
select the Done button at the top. This returns you to the dive sites management panel.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
==== Merge dive sites
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Merging two or more dives is achieved in the dive site edit panel (see image above). We assume that the dive
|
||||||
|
sites that need merging are not far apart. Merging is performed by selecting a dive site and then merging
|
||||||
|
other dives with this selected dive site. In the edit panel, above, select the text box labelled "Show dive sites
|
||||||
|
in the range of:" and provide a critical distance that would include the site that needs to be merged with the present site.
|
||||||
|
A list of sites within this range is presented (see image below).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
image::images/DiveSiteMerge.jpg["FIGURE: Dive sites merge",align="center"]
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Select the dive site to be merged by right-clicking it. A confirmation
|
||||||
|
message is presented (see image above). Clicking the confirmation message merges the selected dive with
|
||||||
|
the dive named at the top of the panel and returns you to the dive sites management panel.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
==== Add a dive site
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
At the top right of the dive sites management table is a round button with a "+". Clicking that button inserts a
|
||||||
|
new site entitled "New dive site" into the list (image below). The new site can also be deleted (maybe after erroneously
|
||||||
|
clicking the + icon or you realised the dive site already exists) by selecting _Edit -> Undo_ from the main menu or by typing Cntrl-Z while the dive sites management table has focus. Edit this new site by selecting its edit icon and provide a name,
|
||||||
|
coordinates and, if preferred, a description. Clicking
|
||||||
|
the "Done" button in the edit panel returns you to the dive sites management panel.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
image::images/DiveSiteInsert.jpg["FIGURE: Add dive site",align="center"]
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
==== Delete a dive site
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
On the left of each dive site is a dustbin icon. Clicking the dustbin deletes that site. If there are any
|
||||||
|
dives performed at that site, a warning message is shown (see image below). If this site is then deleted,
|
||||||
|
the location(s) of dives that used this site would need to be created.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
image::images/DiveSiteDelete.jpg["FIGURE: Delete a dive site",align="center"]
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
==== General approach to the use of the dive sites list
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Since the dive sites list is managed separately from the dive list, it is possible to add dive sites to the list
|
||||||
|
even though these sites have not been used for any dives. In this case the column labelled "# of dives" shows a zero.
|
||||||
|
This makes it possible for divers to share dive sites and sites can be created before any of them are dived. Alternatively
|
||||||
|
a site can be created with a useful description such as "Ann dived this site last summer and she saw huge numbers of
|
||||||
|
bumphead parrotfish. She said Jan - Apr is the best time. I hope to dive there myself". In this way the dive sites
|
||||||
|
list becomes a repository of useful information outside of the dive list.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
==== Delete unused dive sites
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
At the top left of the dive sites management panel is a button "Purge unused dive sites". Selecting this button
|
||||||
|
deletes all the dive sites that do not have associated dives.
