Adding Units/Spans with a "dynamic" Location Type
Location Types within Orbitas are separated into Dynamic and Static. A Dynamic location type will open a set up menu driven selections after saving, while a Static location type will return you to the main map after saving.
Units and Spans are configuration based. If you have a configuration with Units and Spans, you will have a specifically named location type that is considered "dynamic". This location type will open the Units/Spans form upon saving the current location. One common example of these Location Types is called a PartnerUnit. This location type when saved will directly open the Add Units/Spans form.
To add units and spans with this method...
- Collect a PartnerUnit as the location type
- Click on the arrow to the right on the top line of the form to enter the Filter Tree
- Filter through and select the unit you wish to add. You will notice it auto fills the top of the form.
- Fill out any other necessary information and click the + icon in the top right corner.
- If you have the volume up you will hear an audible que. You will also see the unit name disappear from the top line.
