NOTE: The Spread Tool is primarily a survey data viewer. While it has compatibility with Orbital Groundforce reports, the best use is to display and track Survey data.
- The Spread tool is a view-only page that provides analytics on all of the spreads involved with your project. The main screen shows Spread Activity and Spread Statistics.
Spreads Main Form
Spread Activity
The Spread Activity tracks the file uploads of all spreads in a line graph. The date and time of each upload are displayed as bullet points on the line graph, and the up-loader's user name can be viewed by scrolling over any of the bullet points.
Spread Statistics
The number of spreads, users, and averaged information of your spreads can be found here.
Each spread's information can be examined individually by clicking on the name of your desired spread under the Spread Analytics column. There you can view Spread Data, File Analytics, and File Validation.
