 ==== Modes and Menus ==== ==== Modes and Menus ====
 +
 +
 +
 +
 +
 +
 +=== File ===
 +
 +  - New Survey
 +  - New Measure
 +  - Upload
 +
 +Delete should fall off to regular menu.
 +
  
 === Alignment === === Alignment ===
 + ​Choosing whether to shoot benchmarks or Recover. We probably need the action bar in this screen. It will slide down the two button choices.
 +  - Create Benchmark
 +  - Import Benchmarks
 +  - Settings
 +
 +I'm checking versions and it seems like we lost a menu in there somewhere (creating benchmarks, reshooting, View would be a late addition). If not, there'​s some room for improvement on the shoot benchmarks screen.
  
  
 === Grade === === Grade ===
 +Lots of room for debate here on what's most important (top 2 or 3 icons). The other danger is that putting some items like undo on the action bar could cause inadvertent presses. I'm ready for discussion on this. My top 3 goes like this.
  
 +  - New Line
 +  - 3D View
 +  - Save
 +
 +The others are:
 +
 +  - Undo  - arguably this could be on the action bar. I am concerned with hitting it by accident
 +  - Create Benchmark
 +  - Labels - also could be on the action bar except we already have a shortcut of tapping the label text.
 +  - File
 +  - View
 +  - Progress Topo
 +  - Stake Mode
 +  - Settings
 +
 +I've left stream off of here because we will just move this to the zoom controller permanently and remove the option to turn it off from preferences.
  
 === Stake === === Stake ===
  
 +Stake has the opposite problem of Grade. It's hard to figure out what should be on the action bar. Here's the list:
 +
 +  - 3D view - This seems odd until you combine it with the new feature of keeping the selected line bold while in 3D. With the control so fast and easy to use the 3D becomes another way to confirm you have the right point picked.
 +  - Labels - While you can turn on labeling by tapping the label text it's actually kind of hard to do and not changed what's staked. Putting it on the action bar makes it easier. It might need a icon.
 +  - Save - I can be talked out of this one easily.
 +
 +The others are:
 +  - Create Benchmark
 +  - Undo
 +  - Grade Mode
 +  - File
 +  - View
 +  - Settings
 +
 +Record like Stream in Grade mode is taken off the menu and moved permanently to the zoom controller. We will leave it in preferences as something the user can turn off but the default install state is to have it on.
  
 === Progress Topo (Boundary) === === Progress Topo (Boundary) ===
 +Progress Topo has different menus depending on whether topo data exists. This is for boundary entry when topo data exists. The Action bar items are:
  
 +  - Add Point
 +  - 3D
 +  - Report
 +
 +The others are:
 +  - Delete Point
 +  - Make Surface
 +  - Save
 +  - File
 +  - Grade Mode
 +  - Stake Mode
 +  - View
 +  - Setting
  
  
 === Progress Topo (Surface) === === Progress Topo (Surface) ===
 +This is for when no topo data exists. The Action bar items are:
 +
 +  - 3D
 +  - Report
 +  - Save
 +
 +The other menu items are:
 +
 +  - File
 +  - Grade Mode
 +  - Stake Mode
 +  - View
 +  - Settings
 +
 +=== New Measure (boundary) ===
 +The stockpile function is similar to Progress Topo in that there are two distinct menus. The boundary menus should look like this:
 +
 +  - Create Benchmark
 +  - Save
 +  - Undo
 +
 +I'm going to go against my fear of inadvertently removing data and leave Undo on the action bar. My reasoning is that a single point removed on a stockpile is not as big a problem as one removed from a topo. Done on the other hand is pretty much a one shot deal so it needs to not be on the action bar.
 +
 +The menu items are:
 +
 +  - Done
 +  - File
 +  - Labels
 +  - Progress Topo
 +  - View
 +  - Settings
 +
 +Stream is permanently relocated to the zoom controller.
 +
 +
 +=== New Measure (interior) ===
 +
 +Action bar menus
 +
 +  - 3D 
 +  - Report
 +  - New line
 +
 +I'm really torn about not including Undo instead of Report or New Line. Talk me out of it if necessary.
 +
 +Other menu items:
 +
 +  - Undo
 +  - Save
 +  - Create Benchmark
 +  - Labels
 +  - Progress Topo
 +  - File
 +  - View
 +  - Settings
