Requires an LP360 Drone license.
The TrueView Archive Manager is used to specify the local network or machine location for LP360 to archive a Cycle using the Import Cycle
. An archived Cycle is a compressed file packaging all the components of a Cycle, optionally including the base station data and any additional ancillary files the user desires. The compressed Archive can be stored in one or more local or network file locations the user has added as Archive repositories.
In addition to local Archives, you can transfer an Archived Cycle from a local Archive to your LP360 Cloud "Cycle-Archive" for easy, economical and long term offsite storage of your Archived Cycles. First, archive the Cycle to a local archive then Copy or Move to your LP360 Cloud "Cycle-Archive" or use the Upload to Cloud tool to copy the Archived Cycle to your Project Folder in LP360 Cloud.
The TrueView Archive Manager dialog (Figure 1) can be accessed at any time from the Sensor tab.

Archived Cycle Purpose and Usage
The TrueView Archive Manager is designed to create compressed archives of Cycle folders, "an archived Cycle", packaging all components of a Cycle, including optional base station data and ancillary files. These archives can be stored locally, on a network, or transferred to LP360 Cloud for long-term, offsite storage.
The archives serve as backups and facilitate easy retrieval, sharing with coworkers, clients, or GeoCue Support for troubleshooting. They are not strictly required if you have a reliable backup system, such as cloud storage, for each flight, but are highly recommended.
File Removal and Space Management
You can safely remove local TrueView Archives if you have secure backups of your flight data in LP360 Cloud or another cloud platform. The TrueView Archive Manager allows you to delete archived Cycles from local storage without affecting the original folders.
Creating new archives is optional if your workflow and backup requirements are met by your existing cloud storage solution.
TrueView Archives
The list of available Archive locations. Log into your online account using the Credentials dialog to automatically add your LP360 Cloud [Cycle-Archive] to the list of available TrueView Archives. Your Online Archive allows you to efficiently store archived Cycles in your LP360 Cloud account, as well as enables you to be able to submit Cycles to support for assistance and troubleshooting.
Add
Opens the Add TrueView Archive Folder dialog (Figure 2). Browse to the folder location and give a description to add to Archive Manager.

Compute Size
Runs a quick update to the list to report the current total size of archived Cycles in the Archive folders.
Available Cycles
Selecting an Archive will populate the list of available Cycles found on the selected Archive.
Delete
Deletes the selected archived Cycle from the list and from the Archive folder.
Copy and Move
Both Copy and Move buttons open the Select Destination Archive dialog (Figure 4). When using Copy, the file will remain in the original location, and a second copy will be added to the selected folder. When using the Move function, the file will be moved to the selected destination and will not remain in the original location.

Update
Opens the Update Utility dialog (Figure 5) and allows users to update their Archived Cycles. From this dialog you can adjust archive settings, add observation files, update base station location, add ancillary files, and add image files. This dialog can also be opened directly from the Update Utility on the Sensor Tab.
