FACE


Field Attribute Collector and Exporter (FACE)

FACE is an ArcMap 8.3 Template (.mxt) with additional functionality built in and designed for use by the NRCS and Technical Service Providers.  The additional functionality enables the NRCS user to pull data from their geodatabase and assigns their projection (both to the data frame and the created shapefiles) based upon the user’s preference.xml file.  FACE works equally well for the TSP using shapefiles, including attributing their spatial features.  FACE's primary purpose is to enable the user to export the derived spatial data in a tabular format to be used with AFOPro, MMP or as a Soil Export file containing the spatial data and specific NASIS soils data.

FACE is distributed zipped in a self-extracting file along with the helpfile.  When executed by the user, a folder will be created on the user's local C drive named 'FACE' and the ArcMap template (FACE) along with the helpfile (.chm) will be deposited there.  While FACE is a template and can be used from any location on the user's machine, it will always look to the default folder when prompted by the user to open the helpfile. To open the tool, double-click on the template named "FACE83_GDB.mxt". See helpfile for additional instructions.

 

The AFOSpatial database is distributed zipped in a self-extracting file and when extracted resides in C:\Program Files\ESRI-USC\AFOPro\AFOProSpatial\db.  This file is an Access database populated by FACE at the user's prompting during the export process.  This database contains the land unit attributes as well as specific soils data for the soils located in the selected land units if the data sets are provided by the user (Ssurgo shapefile and NASIS database). For users of AFOPro, this database can be imported into versions 2.0 and higher, although it is no longer required to import data into version 2.2.  For user's who have installed AFOPro version 2.2 along with AFOPro Spatial, this file all ready resides in the correct location. For user's of MMP (Manure Management Planner), this database is only needed if the Soils Export file (not related to MMP) is created during the export process.
