Trimble Connect Field Data Extension Help

The Trimble® Connect® Field Data extension streamlines cloud-based management of field data collected using Trimble Access™ field software. Use the Trimble Connect Field Data extension to manage, review and process Trimble Access field data using Trimble Connect Web.

Enabling the Trimble Connect Field Data extension

To enable the Trimble Connect Field Data Extension in Trimble Connect Web:

  1. Select the project.

    The Field Data tab appears in the Trimble Connect side panel. Select the Field Data tab to view field data using the Map view, List view, or Folder view.

Map view

To view a map of field data uploaded to the Trimble Connect project, tap the Map view icon at the top of the Field Data tab.

  • The panel on the left allows you to select individual jobs from the list. Selected jobs are highlighted in the map.

  • You can also select jobs directly from the points in the map by double-tapping a point to select the corresponding job.

  • Tap a point or line to review details for the selected item.

    Points or lines with feature codes display the code and attribute values.

    Staked out points are represented with a flag icon and display their stakeout values.

  • Once a job is selected, you can open the job details or download it directly.

To see lines in the map you must upload a Feature Library FXL file to the project. To upload an FXL file, click the Settings icon at the top right of the Field Data tab.

List view

To view field data in a list view, select the List view icon at the top of the Field Data tab.

  • You can view and sort jobs based on the following criteria: Job Name, Status, Creator, Assignee, Modified Time, and Tags.

  • Click a job name to review the job details.

  • Select multiple jobs to download or delete.

  • Use the Filter button to create a filter to make it easier to find the jobs you are looking for. You can filter by Assignee, Creator, Date, or Tags.

Folder view

To view the contents of the Trimble Access Projects folder, select the Folder view icon at the top of the Field Data tab.

Job details

When you click a job name in the Map view, List view or Folder view, the Job Details panel provides detailed information about the job, including:

  • Status, Assignee, and Priority: You can change the values of these attributes.

  • Map tab: Shows an overview of the points and lines collected in that job.

  • Reports tab: Displays the reports generated in Trimble Access and allows you to view or share links to them.

  • Points tab: Lets you review the points collected in the job in a table. If images were linked to points, you can see those images next to the points.

  • Side panel: Shows the properties of the job, including the coordinate system, feature code library used, and tags associated with the job.

You can download the job and associated files from the Job Details panel.

Using the data in the Field Data extension

Once field data has been uploaded to the Trimble Connect Field Data extension you can process it in Trimble Business Center (TBC) office software or other design applications. The TBC Connected Workspace feature allows direct access to cloud-stored jobs. If you are using a third-party application, you can easily download the necessary field data using Trimble Connect.

Trimble Connect for Field Systems

Trimble Connect is a cloud collaboration platform to share, manage and review data securely in a centralized location. Use the Field System extensions in Trimble Connect to send and receive data between the cloud and different field software products, such as Trimble Access, FieldLink, TerraFlex and WorksManager.

Trimble Connect and Field Systems extensions are useful for survey and construction professionals, project managers and contractors to:

  • quickly and securely receive data to field devices or to send data to the office.

  • get real-time insights into job status and data quality.

  • view and manage data on the cloud, including large datasets such as point clouds and 3D models.

  • get quick and accurate updates on projects.

Trimble Connect for Field Systems Extensions
