Find and make your map reports

Every finished map has its reports in one place: the map page. Each report made from a SkyPLX-9 map says “Processed with SkyPLX-9”. The reports exist once the map is ready; before that, the buttons are not shown or are greyed out.

Open the map page

1. In the left menu, click Office › Work › Field › DSP · /office/work/field/dsp.
2. Click your folder, then the project.
3. On the mission’s row, click “⋯” (“More actions”), then, under “Map”, click “Open the map page”.

In the Classic look, the report buttons are in the column on the left of the map page. In the new look, “Open map” and “Share with client” are at the top right, and the reports are in the “More” menu next to them.

The processing quality report

SkyPLX-9’s own report on how the map was made: photo calibration, reconstruction numbers, ground resolution and the control and checkpoint errors.

1. On the map page, find the “Download deliverables” box (in the new look, the “Deliverables” tab).
2. Click “Quality report”. It downloads as a PDF.

The same “Quality report” is in the “Downloads” section of the finished map’s side panel.

The Deliverable Report (accuracy and GCPs)

The report you hand your client: project information, what was captured and processed, the coordinate system, the deliverables, and the accuracy assessment. When the map used ground control and checkpoints, the “Checkpoint Accuracy (Independent Verification)” section lists horizontal and vertical RMSE, NSSDA 95% values and every checkpoint’s error.

1. On the map page, click “Deliverable Report” (in the new look: “More” › “Deliverable report”). The PDF opens.
2. To change the cover first, click the gear next to it (new look: “More” › “Deliverable report settings”). “Deliverable Report Cover” sets the project reference, the footer and the disclaimer paragraph.

To check accuracy on screen before you send anything, open the finished map and use “Checkpoint Accuracy” › “Run Accuracy Check” in the side panel. More in GCP & PPK Accuracy.

Volumes and measurements

• On the map: open the finished map, and in the side panel use “Map Tools” › “Volume (Cut/Fill)” to measure a stockpile, or “Distance” and “Area” for lengths and areas.
• As a PDF: on the map page click “Reports from pins & measurements”, then “New report”. Pick the “Measurement report” template, choose “For” (“The client” or “Internal use”), click “Create report”, then “Generate PDF”. The “Inspection report” and “Site overview” templates work the same way.
• Between two dates: when the map is part of a site, click “Open site timeline” in the map page’s “Site” box, then “Compare dates”. After “Compute elevation change”, “Volumes CSV” downloads the cut and fill per area.
• Files for CAD: “Export DXF” for linework, “Export PDF” for a printable topo map, and “Download in State Plane” for the map files in your State Plane zone with a coordinate report.

What your client gets

1. On the map page, click “Share with Client”.
2. Pick what they can open: “Full Access (Map + 3D + Downloads)”, “Map Only” or “Downloads Only”.
3. Click “Send Share Link”.

With “Full Access” or “Downloads Only” your client can download the Quality report too. For PDFs you made yourself, such as the Deliverable Report, add them to the project’s delivery: see Send files to your client.

Common questions

I can’t find the reports. They appear when the map is ready. If the map page still shows the processing steps, wait for “Map ready”.

Why does my report say SkyPLX-9? SkyPLX-9 is SkySuite’s processing engine. It made your map and produced the report.

Does a map I uploaded already finished say SkyPLX-9? No. A map you imported was not processed by SkyPLX-9, so its reports show the processing software as “Not recorded”.
