How to Name Datasets

To help you identify your Datasets, assign meaningful names, and determine which dataset contains which area. The names that you assign now are then used when processing the data in NavVis IVION. From the home screen, tap New dataset to start a new dataset.

When naming a dataset, you can either:

• Enter a custom name into the Custom name field.

• Tap Naming assistant to easily enter a dataset name generated by the device.

Note: If you input an invalid character in the Site_name field, a message will display to notify you.

Enter the Site name, floor, room and try (number of attempts for this scan), and an optional note.

Naming Conventions

Consistent naming makes it easier to manage and post-process datasets. We recommend the following naming convention:

• "Company_Building_Floor.Room.DatasetNumber" Example: TUM_Reaktorhalle_01.03

• In case a part of a site needs to be re-mapped, add a sequential number for each attempt to the end of the dataset name. Example: TUM_Reaktorhalle_1.03_1

Note: It is recommended that the dataset name is unique. The dataset is always uniquely identified by the date and time of its creation. However, we recommend following the NavVis dataset naming convention:
