Admin INI Setup
You can use the Update Admin INI functions to update entries in the Qbyte CS Land admin.ini file. The admin.ini file controls most of the default information set up in the system. Access to the Update Admin INI function is controlled by the user security settings. Only advanced users should have access to the Update Admin INI function.
Accessing the Update Admin INI Function
From the Admin menu, select Update Admin INI.
The system displays the Admin INI Setup window.
Admin INI: General
Use the General function to update global system settings for Qbyte CS Land, as follows:
Acreage: Enter the default acreage conversion factor that you want to use to convert between hectares and acres.
If the system cannot detect an entry in the T_ACRECONV table, the system uses the default value that you enter in this field to convert between hectares and acres. See Acreage Conversion Table for more information about conversion factors.
Tip: The Acreage Conversion Factor is the number that you multiply acres by to arrive at hectares. The system divides the number of acres by the number that you enter here to arrive at the corresponding acreage.
Append Case: Enter the case you want the system to use to record table entries, as follows:
Upper Table codes default to uppercase letters.
Lower Table codes default to lowercase letters.
Append: Leading zeroes: Select either the Yes or No radio button depending on whether you want the system to include leading zeroes for TWP and RGE when appending location information from the survey system template into the Land Description Information box (Land/Legal Description window).
FPS Range: Enter the latitudinal and longitudinal boundaries you want to use to control the entry of FPS legal descriptions. Any legal descriptions entered into the system that fall outside this boundary cause an error message to display.
Legal System: Enter the default land survey system that you want to use.
