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.

To capture the position of the feature you are collecting using GNSS, tap the "Feature" bar or tap Map

(Point feature),
(Line feature), or
(Area feature) to log the position(s).
Alternatively, tap Digitize (Point

The Digitize option may have been disabled and will not be available. See Editing template properties.
If you have a laser rangefinder you can use it to capture remote features that you are unable to get to. See Capturing remote features.
If you have an 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 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.
