Dynamic, Spatial and Static Links

Dynamic or Spatial Links

A dynamic link is based on the spatial relationship between a site and an outline.

Say, for example, that we have a tenement that is defined in terms of three polygons, marked A, B and C in the diagram below:

The points marked Pt1 and Pt2 clearly fall within the tenement outline; however, the point marked Pt3 does not fall within the tenement, because polygon C is excluded from the area of the tenement.

Static Links

A drillhole can also be included in a collection by way of a static link. This is done by explicitly linking the drillhole to the collection. This type of collection is also known as a static site list.

A static site list must be compiled manually, while dynamic site links are managed by the system. The two methods are mutually exclusive; i.e. a collection must be classified as either static or dynamic.
