Naming Datasets

Assign meaningful names to your Datasets to help you identify them and determine which dataset contains which scanned area. NavVis IVION uses the dataset names as labels in the datasets list.

Procedure

1. Tap Start Mapping to start a new dataset.

2. The system prompts the user to enter a name for the dataset before proceeding to the calibration steps.

   

3. Users can choose between inputting a custom name in the Custom Dataset Name field, reusing a recently used name in the Most Recently Used field, or using ASSISTED NAMING to enter a dataset name that follows the NavVis naming conventions.

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: The dataset name does not need to be unique since a dataset is always identified by the date and time of its creation. However, we recommend following the NavVis dataset naming convention.

Valid Dataset Characters

This is a short list of characters that are accepted by the system when naming datasets.
