Understanding Project and Job Structures: Managing Data, Reports, and Results in iCON Software

The iCON software allows the simple location and transfer of data between instrument, controller and office.


Imported reference and control data is stored in the iCON software, within individual Projects. Jobs can be created and carried out within these projects. Reports, measured data and calculated results are stored to the active job, ready for exporting.

Project and Job file structure

This allows you to create a project with specific reference and control data, and then carry out multiple jobs within this project.

Projects Jobs
  • Imported Data
    • Control Data
    • Reference data
    • Coordinate systems
    • Codelists
    • Road data
    • Background images
    • GNSS Profile
    • Point Cloud data
  • Output:
    • Reports
    • Measured data
    • Calculated results

☞ Jobs are created within the active project. All imported data is available for all jobs within that project.
