Compress and E-mail Field Data
Compress your job site data, job site design data, and work orders to archive or e-mail them to colleagues or field crews. Files are compressed in a .zip folder.
Prerequisites:
- License; See the Subscription Plans page. For a license matrix by command, see the License page in the TBC Community. Also see View and manage licensed features.
- Work order
To compress and e-mail field data:
- Select a job site, design, or work order in the Project Explorer, and do one of the following:
- Right-click and select Compress/E-mail Field Data from the context menu.
- Select Compress/E-mail Field Data in Construction Data > Publish Data.
The Compress /E-mail Field Data dialog displays.
- Select a controller in the Controller box. The files assigned to that controller for the selected site, design, or work order appear.
Note: If you select a data card for a GCS machine, you cannot select files individually, but you can select entire sets of files for job sites or designs. The recipient of the e-mail can extract the compressed file directly into the root folder of a compact flash data card.
- Type a path and name for the output file in the Compressed File Name box. To browse for a file path, click the Browse button.
- Check the box for each file to include in the compressed folder in the Files to compress list. If you check a parent file, all of its children files are also selected.
- To filter the list to include only files that have been created or changed since you last synchronized the selected controller, check the Only show files modified since last synchronization box.
- To send the compressed folder to an e-mail address, check the E-mail file box.
- Type an e-mail address to send the file to in the E-mail address box, if applicable. This box may be pre-populated if the controller record specifies an e-mail address.
- Click . The selected files are saved in the compressed folder and emailed as specified.
