Working with cloud projects
- In TerraFlex, in the Select Project screen, select the cloud project you want to work in.
-
If you are using a Trimble GNSS receiver, connect to the receiver. See Connecting to a Trimble GNSS receiver.
NOTE – If you have a project selected already and you need to change to a different project than the one you currently have active, tap / Change Project.
There are three workflows in TerraFlex for collecting data in the field:
-
Collecting new data by completing a form.
-
Working with tasks from an existing form (or forms) that you have been assigned from Trimble Connect, or working with tasks created in the field. See Working with tasks for more information.
Draft forms
When completing a form in a cloud project, you can save the form as a draft to come back to it at any time.
-
Next to
, tap .
-
Tap Save As Draft.
Draft forms remain on the device and are not sync'd to Map Viewer while in draft state.
A draft form can also be deleted, as long as it has not been saved and was not imported as part of a task / ToDo.
-
On the Home screen, tap Forms, and tap the form you want to delete.
-
Tap
. Tap DELETE.
If the form has previously been saved or was imported as part of a task / ToDo, the
option is not available.
Removing completed forms
To remove forms from your device once they have been uploaded (synchronized) to Trimble Connect, tap / Remove forms. In the Remove forms dialog, tap Remove forms.
A Can't remove forms message will display if:
-
there are no synced forms in your active project to remove.
-
any form in your active project is part of a Task; forms within a Task cannot be removed.
-
sync'ing is underway.
-
there are no collected forms in your active project to be removed.
Checking for project updates
To check for project updates from your Trimble Connect cloud project, tap / Check for project updates. TerraFlex syncs your completed forms to the cloud, and downloads any updates from the project in Trimble Connect.
TIP – To add reference layers to the Map, you also need to Check for project updates to dowload reference layers to your device. See Enabling reference layers for details.
Changing projects
To change to a different project than the one you currently have active, tap / Change Project. You can then select a different cloud or local project. See Using the Projects screen.
