Glossary of Terms

ArcGIS Online: A platform provided by Esri for creating and sharing maps, apps, and data, and accessing a wide collection of geographic information. 

AR View (Augmented Reality View): A feature in Z-Focus where a yellow polygon appears after 2 seconds, indicating the detection of the ground plane in the augmented reality environment. 

GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System): A system of satellites that provides geographic positioning information to a receiver anywhere on Earth. 

Ground Plane Detection: A feature in AR view where the app detects the ground plane, indicated by gray/transparent circles that radiate from the user's position. 

Ground Plane Indicators: Visual cues in the AR view that show the ground plane's position and orientation, typically in the form of gray or transparent circles. 

Manual Mode (in GNSS): A setting in GNSS where users can manually input or adjust geographic positioning data instead of receiving it automatically from satellites. 

Automatic Mode (in GNSS): A default GNSS setting where the app automatically receives and uses geographic positioning data from satellites without user intervention. 

Email Reports: A function in Z-Focus enabling users to send reports or data from the app directly via email. 

Asset Manipulation: The ability within the app to adjust, move, or edit digital assets displayed in the AR view or maps. 

Refresh and Reset Functions: Features in the app that allow users to update or revert changes to the data or view, particularly in mapping or AR features. 

Field Maps: A feature that integrates with ArcGIS Online maps, allowing users to interact with and manipulate geographic data within the app. 

Browser Window Integration: The functionality in Z-Focus where certain actions, such as logging in, open a separate browser window to complete the task. 

User Interface (UI): The space where interactions between humans and the app occur, including the layout of the app, buttons, icons, and screens.
