Configuration

Before you run the add-in for the first time, a minimal amount of configuration must be done. The add-in stores all project settings in a small database that is typically stored in user/program settings on the same computer. Once installed on a computer for the first time, this database connection must be set up using the included Trimble Terra Office add-in Configuration application, found in the Windows Start menu. If you do not do this step prior to running the add-in the first time, you will be prompted to set up a default database configuration from within the add-in.

When running the add-in the first time, you should expect to see a new Trimble Terra Office toolbar in ArcMap. If it is not visible, or if the toolbar is ever closed inadvertently (docking it to the area where the rest of the toolbars are is recommended), you can toggle it through ArcMap’s Customize…Toolbars menu. To verify that the add-in was fully installed and configured, click Terra Office Project Management in the toolbar. If it immediately becomes disabled, it is likely that the add-in is not fully enabled; in ArcMap’s Customize…Extensions… menu, make sure that Trimble Terra Office shows as enabled.
