Chapter 2: The dTIMS CT Database
Check this box, if you want dTIMS CT to show the perspective name as a prefix of the
DRP description.
User Options:
• Enable Warning Messages:
Check this box, if you want dTIMS CT to ask for confirmation before aborting (by
pressing the Cancel button) the changes you made after entering a window and to close
that window.
• Do not modify base elements:
Check this box, if you want dTIMS CT to notify you when a location in your import
file is not on an existing base perspective element. If you check this box, dTIMS CT
verifies that all locations in your import file are on existing base perspective elements.
If you uncheck this box, dTIMS CT will automatically create the missing base
perspective element. This is a convenient way to create base perspective elements
while creating elements in another perspective by importing. However, this can damage
your database, if the base perspective element ID is misspelled, for example. In this
case dTIMS CT will add a section or point to the misspelled perspective.
• Ensure ElementIDs are unique (do not add pieces/instances):
Check this box, if you want dTIMS CT to notify you when an element ID in your
import file already exists in the target perspective. If you check this box, dTIMS CT
verifies that all element IDs in your import file do not exist in the target perspective. If
you uncheck this box, dTIMS CT will automatically create another piece for section
perspectives or another instance for point perspectives for the existing element ID.
Unchecking this box is the only way to import multiple pieces or instances. However,
this can damage your database, if the element ID is misspelled, for example. In this
case dTIMS CT will add another piece or instance to the element ID matching this
misspelling.
