 +====== 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)

 +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?​
