Updating an existing form

Editing an existing form updates any previous information collected; you can overwrite any existing information you have already collected, and leave any that doesn't need updating.

You can update an existing form from the Forms list, or from the Map.

  1. On the Home screen, do one of the following:
    • tap Forms. From the Forms list, tap the form you want to update, then tap .
    • tap Map. On the map, tap the feature you want to update, then tap .
  2. Compete the form as required.

    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. See Using external sensors.

    Any existing data will be updated / overridden when the external sensor is fired. If you fire the sensor more than once, the data is overwritten with the new data until you save the form.

    If you are using a Trimble R12i, R780, or R980 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.

  3. Tap to save the form, or next to tap then tap Save As Draft.

You can also navigate to the selected feature; see Using the navigation options.

You can clear values from any fields you have completed on a form:

  • In most field types, simply delete the value from the field or deselect any selected choices.

  • For a Date field, tap the field and then tap Clear.

  • For a single Choice field, tap the field and then tap (No value selected).

  • For a Yes/No field, tap the field and then tap N/A.

Note that if a field is mandatory, you will need to have a value entered before you can save the form.
