Semantics

The Semantics tab is intended for viewing and editing the semantic characteristics (attributes) of an object. The tab contains a list of the object's semantics.

Semantics in the table are displayed in different colors: black for possible, burgundy for mandatory, blue for appearance-affecting, and gray for characteristics not specified for this object type (gray semantics). A non-editable semantic is marked with a sign in the Value cell. The semantic editing attribute is set in the classifier editor — on the Semantics tab.

Adding a semantic

Deleting a semantic

Typically, the semantics list is displayed in the order of the object's semantic records. If necessary, the semantics list can be sorted in ascending order of codes or characteristic values, alphabetically by name or characteristic key, or according to the sequence of characteristics in the classifier editor for this object type (Classifier). The sorting method is selected from the context menu, which opens by right-clicking on the semantics list.

The context menu contains:

Sort

Copy

Paste into object

Select All

Delete all semantics

Display semantic in header

Select semantic for header

Display objects

Update document on server

Select file

Select folder

Select similar objects

Select objects by semantic

Open document in separate window

Add to current document

By default, the table only includes semantics that contain values. To add a semantic missing from the table, you must check the All semantics box. In this case, the semantics list will include all semantics defined for this object type in the classifier. Adding a missing semantic is done by left-clicking in an empty cell. To add semantics defined for all objects, you must check the General for all objects box.

When the Save documents on server box is checked, adding a semantic of the File type automatically saves the selected files on the server of the map opened via GIS Server. This checkbox becomes available when the opened map is editable and a folder for storing documents has been selected for the map. The folder for documents (Document Storage) is selected when configuring map access parameters using the GIS Administrator program.
