Getting started

To get started with the Trimble Terra Office add-in for ArcGIS Pro:

  1. Make sure you are set up with a Trimble Identity and have the Terra Office Standard subscription license assigned to your Trimble Identity. See Licensing for Terra Office.

  2. Install Terra Office add-in for ArcGIS Pro. See Installing Terra Office add-in for ArcGIS Pro.

  3. Run ArcGIS Pro, locate the Terra Office add-in toolbar, and sign in using your Trimble Identity. See Signing in.

Installing Terra Office add-in for ArcGIS Pro

The standard InstallShield installation package can be downloaded from here; it includes everything necessary to run the add-in.

Once downloaded, double-click the installation package to begin the installation.

Signing In

To use the core Terra Office add-in features, you must be signed in using your Trimble Identity. Signing in allows the system to verify you have a valid subscription license.

If you are using TerraFlex Cloud workflows, you will need to sign in daily to be able to connect to TerraFlex Cloud services. If you are using TerraFlex Direct or TerraSync workflows you will not need to sign in more than once a week as the Trimble Terra Office license is cached. License expiration warnings will appear in ArcGIS Pro when you need to sign in again to refresh the Terra Office license.

  1. In ArcGIS Pro, click the Sign in button on the Terra Office toolbar. The Trimble Identity sign in page opens in your web browser.

  2. Enter the email address you used when you set up your Trimble Identity.

  3. Enter your password.

    To see the characters you are entering into the Password field, tap .

    If you have forgotten your password, tap Forgot password?.

  4. Select the Stay signed in checkbox if you do not want to have to sign in each time you use Terra Office.

  5. Click Sign in.

  6. If you have enabled Multi-Factor Authentication for your Trimble Identity account, you are prompted to enter the verification code that you have chosen to receive via SMS or via an authentication app such as Google Authenticator.
  7. Return to ArcGIS Pro. The Sign in button changes to blue to indicate you are signed in.

Signing out

To sign out of Terra Office, click the Sign in button on the Terra Office toolbar.

If you need to sign in with a different Trimble Identity, hold down the Shift key when you click the Sign in button to sign out. This will forcibly clear the Trimble Identity cookies and cache.
