To help you identify your Datasets, assign meaningful names, and determine which dataset contains which area. NavVis IVION uses the dataset names as labels in the datasets list. From the main 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:
Part of dataset name | Explanation |
|---|---|
Company | Name of the company/institution that owns or uses the building |
Building | Building type or name |
Floor | Floor number (two digits) |
Room | Room number (two digits) |
Dataset number | Number assigned to the dataset on the respective floor. Start at 01 (two digits) |
Try number | Number of attempts. Start at 01 (two digits) |
