Terra Office add-in for ArcGIS Pro

Delivered as an add-in to Esri ArcGIS Pro, the Trimble Terra Office add-in for ArcGIS Pro provides a simple workflow for setting up data collection projects using either feature services hosted in ArcGIS Online / Enterprise or on-premise ArcGIS geodatabase infrastructure. From within the ArcGIS Pro environment, desktop users can set up, manage, and deploy data collection projects. Collected data is then downloaded directly into the feature service or geodatabase.

For further information on core ArcGIS Pro functionality, refer to the Esri documentation.

The table below lists specific environment requirements:

Environment/Compatibility:	ArcGIS Pro version 3.0 or higher ArcGIS Coordinate Systems Data (Separate installation provided by Esri. At a minimum, the “Vertical” and “NTv2” components should be installed; additional information.)
Supported workflows:	TerraFlex Cloud (real-time or offline GNSS corrections only), TerraFlex Local (real-time only)
Supported GIS data sources:	File geodatabases, Enterprise geodatabases, Feature services, Hosted feature layers
Supported operating systems:	Windows 10 or higher
Available languages:	English
License type:	Terra Office Standard subscription (annual)

Getting started

Creating and managing projects

In Terra Office, data collection activities are managed as projects. These projects define the schema and rules for data collection (including geodetics and auto‑fields) and link back to the map layers used to create them. In general, all schema constraints and rules defined in the map layers are translated into the data collection project to ensure that collected data meets the required standards.

For more information, see Creating and managing projects.

Taking projects and data to the field

By default, Terra Office projects represent a schema for new data collection. In the TerraFlex workflow, it is also possible to select existing features from your GIS and take them to the field for attribute edits, geometry edits, or both.

For more information, see Taking projects and data to the field.

Integrating collected data

After data has been collected in the field, it can be brought back into the GIS using the add-in. All data gets stored directly back into the feature service layers or geodatabase feature classes that were selected for data collection (as configured through the map layers) in the project.

For more information, see Integrating collected data.

Managing and understanding settings

Trimble Terra Office maintains a few settings that apply to all projects.
