Add/Edit/View/Delete object

  1. In order to add an object, click the “Add object” button at the top. A new page should appear where you can fill in your information.

  2. Fill in your basic information.

Name and description refers to the object you are creating, it is for your identification only. You can also assign an object to a specific organization.

  1. In order to add a scheme, fill in the scheme name and priority.

  2. Now, upload an image. After uploading you should see the uploaded image name appear under the button.

  3. Now click the “Add Scheme” button. A scheme should appear on the right. You will be able to edit and delete the newly created scheme.

A scheme refers to an image sketch you will use to place your loggers and zones on.

Priority means the order in which the scheme will be presented. It is possible to add more than one scheme per object.

  • Click the “Add new object” button and after seeing a confirmation message click the “Assign Loggers” tab at the top.

Now we will add the loggers on the scheme. First though I would like to give you a quick overview of the visual panel.

Make sure you have selected a right scheme name at the top.

  1. In order to draw a zone, first select a zone name.

  2. Now select the way you would like to draw the zone on the scheme image (that is as a rectangle or a polygon).

  3. Now, draw the zone on the image. Just hold your left mouse button on the sketch and stretch.

  4. Release once you are satisifed with the size and position.

  • In order to add a logger, drag the logger block from the right and drop the “pointer” on the scheme image. You can later change the position of the “pointer” by again, dragging and dropping it.

Notice that after dragging a logger to a zone, it has been marked as being with the “Blulog demo” badge on the right. The used logger block will also appear a bit greyish on the right signifying that it has already been used.

Also, you will see the number added on the logger block. It signifies to which image scheme it belongs (you can see the image scheme names near the “Assign Loggers” title).

  1. You can remove the logger from the image scheme by clicking it first.

  2. Click the “trashbin” icon in the window.
