Interaction with ProjectWise Explorer

Geospatial Administrators can control whether users can edit spatial locations through the ProjectWise Explorer. This is governed by the checkbox labeled "This user is a Geospatial Administrator" on the Geospatial tab of the User properties in the ProjectWise Administrator.

Users should decide to edit spatial locations either through the ProjectWise Explorer, or through the Municipal application, but not both at the same time. The application will update and overwrite the spatial location (coordinate system and geometry) in ProjectWise as a hydraulic model is saved, if the user has added a spatial reference system to the hydraulic model. This mechanism is simple and flexible for users - allowing them to choose when and where spatial locations will be updated.

Note: If the spatial reference system referenced by the hydraulic model does not exist in the ProjectWise datasource, the user will receive a warning and the spatial location will not be saved. The user may then add the spatial reference system to the datasource, through the Geospatial Administrator, before re-saving.
