Planning Projects
Ideally some planning will occur before the Juniper
Aspect software is used. You may need to load the
software or read this manual in order to take a look at the
features provided before proceeding. Some decisions
don’t need to be made up-front, but it will help if you are
aware of them.
As you are planning a project, keep the following items in
mind:
1. Location of project: basic knowledge of where the
project is located is needed so it can be located on
the basemap.
2. Basemap: Is a good basemap (aerial imagery) of
the project location available from the software?
If not, you can import a CAD drawing that is
georeferenced, create a boundary map on a mobile
computer using GPS and walking the area you are
mapping, or work without a background.
3. Object catalog: What object catalog do you want
to use? You can use the object catalog provided
with the software, load a predefined CSV (comma-
separated values) file with the object information you
want to use, or create one from scratch. You will also
select symbology to represent objects.
4. Assigning tasks: Depending on the size of your
company and the scope of individual projects, you
might have one person take care of planning, data
collection in the field, data management, and report
generation. Or, you might have one person doing the
project management on the desktop computer while
one or more other people collect data in the field.
Multiple mobile workers can collect data on the
same project at the same time. They could have
different tasks to perform for a single irrigation system
layout. For example, they could each have different
geographical areas or different object types to
