Edit Building

Screen Description

The Edit Buildings screen provides interface for editing an existing building.

Details

• Name
  • Name of the building
• Abbreviation
  • Building abbreviation
• External ID
  • External ID of the building (optional)
• Coordinates
  • X and Y coordinates of the building (used in calculating distances between buildings)
    • Distance between two buildings is computed as Euclidean distance between coordinates × 10 meters (e.g., distance between coordinates [0,0] and [3,4] is 50 meters)
    • Coordinates cannot be negative
    • A building with no coordinates is assumed to be too far from any other building (for instructor and student back-to-back constraints)
• Map
  • Alternative way of inputing coordinates. Input locations either by clicking on the map or by typing in an address Note: If you do not have coordinate system established, entering the same coordinates (e.g., [0,0]) for all buildings will ensure that there will be no “too far” instructor and student back-to-back constraint violations in the problem.
