Workflow for Managing Data for SCS

The goal in this workflow to prepare job site data for field crews using site controllers that are running Trimble® Site Controller Software (SCS). This workflow guide walks you through adding imported data to a job site and a job site design and then assigning the site and design to specific SCS site controllers so that when the crews synchronize their controllers, the correct data goes to the designated controllers. Then you can import, review, and run reports on work order results as they return from the field.

Note: Your tasks may vary from these typical steps, so feel free to use a different order or skip steps.
