Custom Processing: Calculate Control Point Adjustment

  2. Select the Reference Job by clicking in the field to select the most recent jobs and typing the job name to filter.
  3. Enter a Job Name (e.g. the existing job name with _gcpreport appended). Note the selection of the Reference job will pre-populate this field.
  4. Add the Control Point File:
    1. This file must be a CSV or TXT file format containing 4 fields - ID (control point name), X (Easting), Y (Northing), Z (Elevation).
      • There must not be any spaces, these can be replaced with an underscore (_).
    2. Select Add file...
    3. Navigate to the file in your local storage.
    4. Select Open to confirm the selected file.
  5. Once all fields are completed scroll down and select Submit which will trigger processing.
