+====== Story 7 - Extending ADF & SmartPlan for Materials ======
+Once upon a time we had a program named Materials Pilot running on the old handheld HP PDA's. The most interesting thing it did other than show you on the data (self put me here) was to allow creation of a measure area that broke down existing Materials structures by clipping them with the measure areas. It was truly a useful feature and the ability was unfortunately emphasized and sold how it should have been. We have many of the pieces of that in SmartPlan now and the release of new Materials makes this timely.
+Things likely required:
+  * Extention of the ADF file format to understand Materials Geometry, structure, and materials designations
+  * Creating an ADF writer from Materials that can write the above
+  * Reader in SmartPlan to parse the new ADF format
+  * Creation of clipping methods on structures to calculate materials quantities
+  * Reporting Interface added to SmartPlan Measure report Screen
+  * Exporting to Access of report values (KMZ or Journal)
 ====== Story 1 ======

 (IOS and Android) Measure areas are not currently stored in KMZ file that contains photos, tracks, and notes. Story three adds saved measure areas to the KMZ file. ([[https://agtek.s3.amazonaws.com/Agtek/3RJgIjCQbgUI|example KMZ link]]) Note that I have two measure areas in the example file to show the result when we add the multiple measure area capability.

+===== Changes/New Features Measure Screen =====
+  * Below the zoom controller buttons I've removed tracks, the camera icon, and notes. In there place I've added a control for Snap and adding a new measure area.
+  * The info panel at the bottom has become a swipe up panel. When swiped up, the user can edit the measure name and add notes that appear as Info/ GE property sheets when exported or viewed outside of measure.
+  * On the info bar I've shortened the descriptors to L: and A: and removed the . from the end of ft to allow more room on the phone and also allow for a right arrow similar to SmartTrack. Pressing this arrow cycles between measure areas. It should not appear until there is more than one measure area.
+==== New Measure Use Case ====
+The dirt foreman at the end of the day wants to estimate how many yards are left in a section of pads. He opens the KMZ file and selects measure. He taps in an area surrounding the pads, sometimes toggling snap on/off as he follows the edge. The length and area accumulates at the bottom. Satisfied he swipes up and the default measure name is highlighted along with displaying the keyboard. He replaces the default name with "Pads 35-55" and then taps below to enter his notes. "4 - 637 scrapers had a load count of 184. Est 3420 cy moved to Pad 74-87". Then he swipes the screen down to minimize that display. Next he walks to the end of concrete ditch being demoed and hauled off. He taps new measure and puts a point on the arrow where he's standing. He then walks to the end of the demolished ditch and taps another point to generate a length. Again he swipes up and gives the measure a name of "Ditch removal" Tapping below he adds "Removed and hauled concrete to grinder the above lf of ditch". He then taps exit measure and returns to the main smartplan screen. The measure areas he entered display both on screen and in the list view. He picks each and taps info to make sure his notes are present and then presses save to send the results back to the office.

 ====== Story 4 ======
+Add to note taking ability a default list of notes that can be selected rather than typing.
+**Use Story**
+The foreman is at the end of the day and documenting the work accomplished. He circles an area of pads where clay was found and excavated to be remixed with other materials. He knows the scrapers spent 3 hours removing it and did 38 loads.
+He goes into Measure and circles the pad area. He then opens up the notes and taps the Note List with the focus in the title and chooses "#23064 Clay Removal". This text is inserted as the title (but could just as easily be put in the notes section). He then puts in "3 Hours, 2 637's, 38 Loads at 24 cy per load" and saves the note. After doing more documentation and adding cost codes he saves the file and uploads it to AGTEK Access where the project manager, project engineer, and area superintendent can review his notes and graphics in Google Earth.
+**Other extensions**
+You could also see where we might want to be able to share these notes other than a KMZ.
+**Support Functionality**
+On the surface the interface for this is simple but it implies a support structure to edit/choose/make/download these lists. Access seems to be a natural choice as the download mechanism since we have interfaces written. The challenge is that lists are a global element for the country instead of being project specific. We'd like to have multiple lists available as well (implies a file extension?)
+Do we add a list management utility page under Preferences?
