Collecting new data

1. To select the form to complete, on the Home screen:
   • Tap +Collect to display the form templates assigned to the selected project, and tap the form template you want to complete.
   • Tap a form template.
   • Tap More to show all form templates then tap a form template.

2. The first time you use TerraFlex, the software prompts you to allow camera and location permissions. This allows TerraFlex to use your device camera and location to fill out the form. Tap Allow to enable these permissions for all users of TerraFlex on your device. For more information, see TerraFlex permission settings.

3. To complete the form:

   1. Fill out the fields on the form template as applicable. Any field identified with an asterisk (*) must be completed.

   2. To capture an image, tap the camera icon in the image field.

      To change the image, tap the captured image. To delete the image, tap Remove. To replace the image, tap Replace and then capture a new image. To draw on or add text to the image, tap Edit. For more information, see Annotating images.

   3. To capture the position of the feature you are collecting using GNSS, tap the "Feature" bar or tap Map(top of the form), then tap(Point feature), (Line feature), or (Area feature) to log the position(s).

      Alternatively, tap Digitize (Point / Line / Area ) then tap the position(s) on the map.

      The Digitize option may have been disabled and will not be available. See Editing template properties.

      If you have a TruPulse laser rangefinder or Trimble HPS2 handle, you can use it to capture remote features that you are unable to get to. See Using a Trimble HPS2 handle or Using a TruPulse laser rangefinder to measure offsets.

      If you have a utility locator / external sensor, you can use it to capture data and automatically populate "Sensor" fields.

      • When you first open a form that contains Sensor fields, the fields are editable and you can manually enter values.

      • If you fire the sensor, these fields are auto-populated with the sensor data and they become un-editable.

      • If you have manually entered data and then fire a sensor, the data you entered manually is overwritten.

      • If you fire the sensor more than once, the data is overwritten with the new data until you save the form.

      For more information, see Using utility locators / external sensors.

      If you are using a Trimble R12i, R780, or R890 GNSS receiver with TIP™ technology (Trimble Inertial Platform™ technology), a TIP readiness status is displayed. See Connecting to a Trimble GNSS receiver for more information.
