Compass Manager

ICompass comes pre-installed with some compass faces and needles for you to use. The Compass Manager allows you access these images via a profile and apply unique customisations to them. These profiles are then stored in the application’s database for your convenience. If your feeling creative you can even create your own compass faces and needles in your favourite illustration program and reference them in a profile.

Controls

1. Refresh – Re-queries the database for all compass profiles and presents the results. If a search had been executed pressing this menu item will clear the search result.
2. Highlight Loaded – Selects the currently loaded compass within the list.
3. Load – Sets the selected compass profile and all its attributes in the compass.
4. Search – Checks all compass profiles in the database based on title or description and returns the results.
5. Order – Sorts the log entries by title, description, height, angle, distance, date of creation or date of modification in either ascending or descending order given the selected category and presents the results.
6. New – Loads the Compass Editor such that a new compass profile can be created.
7. Update Selected – Loads the Compass Editor with the selected compass profile such that its attributes can be changed.
8. Import – Allows compass profiles created on other smart devices running ICompass to be loaded onto the installed application.
9. Install – Allows you to quickly generate a combination of compasses using the default compass faces and compass needles in the application. You can also have the application randomise the size and colour tint of these assets to provide more variety.

Other functions can be accessed by holding your pointer on an entry. Once in highlight mode you can revert back to the previous mode by either repeating the operation, pressing your device’s back button, performing a delete operation or by holding your pointer on an entry.

2. Delete Selected – Deletes all highlighted compass profiles from the application’s database.
3. Exported Selected – Serializes the selected compass profiles in a file that can be later imported to another smart device that is running ICompass.
