After copying this file to the correct folder, when you open OpenComms, the following Admin Tools toolbar should load:

Note: The OpenComms Admin password will need to be entered to use any of these tools.

EnterAdmin Mode

Use this tool to enter the Admin mode. This mode requires a password setup by the OpenComms administrator. Once this mode is entered, the place/edit/delete advisory boundary tools are available.

Note: Edits/deletes require locking of the boundary features and the ‘EnterAdmin’ mode should be enabled before attempting to lock. (See caption 1 below.)

Place AdvisoryLocks Boundary

Use this tool to create a new boundary. After the boundary points are defined, a dialog will appear to name the boundary and to define theWorkFlowManagerComms ‘groups’ authorized to place/edit within its perimeter. (See caption 2 below.)

Edit AdvisoryLocks Boundary

Use this tool to edit theWorkFlowManager ‘groups’ authorized for the boundary. The boundary must be locked before this tool will allow its selection.

Use standard MicroStation tools to edit the boundaries vertices.

Delete AdvisoryLocks Boundary

Use this tool to delete the boundary. The boundary must be locked before this tool will allow its selection.
