To merge tally and joint map updates from the field

Large pipeline projects have many survey crews working on multiple sections of the pipeline at any one time. In addition, different survey crews can work on different phases and sections of the pipeline on a daily basis, collecting tally and joint mapping data or using the previously collected tally and joint mapping data. To maximize the efficiency of each survey crew, all crews should have access to the tally and joint map data collected by other field crews the previous day.

To do this, create projects in Správce synchronizace Trimble and download the project files to the controller. At the end of each day, each field crew uploads their updated tally and joint map files to the cloud using the Sync tally files screen in the Vedení software. Other project changes including job data are uploaded at the same time. In the office, the changes from the field are merged to the master set of tally files using the Merge Tally File function in Správce synchronizace Trimble. Once the updates from all field crews have been merged, field crews can use the Sync tally files screen to download the updated set of master tally files at the start of the following workday.

  • Once the project has been downloaded to the controller for the first time, you must send updates to the cloud or download the latest master set of tally files using the Sync tally files function in the Vedení app.

    You should not use the Upload or Download option in the Projects or Jobs screens in Trimble Access to synchronize a Vedení project once the project has been downloaded to the controller for the first time. While these functions upload or download project files including Vedení files, these options do not move files in and out of the Upload and Download folders in the Tally folder which means that the latest changes to the tally and joint map files are not transferred. Only the Sync tally files function uploads tally and joint map files to the cloud and, once the uploaded changes have been merged in the office, downloads the latest master set of tally files.

  • Tally files are merged in the office in Správce synchronizace Trimble. The contents of the Tally folder are not merged when you upload tally files to or download tally files from the cloud. Your organization's process for managing master tally files should allow a suitable time period for the files to be merged in the office between when the tally files are uploaded to the cloud and when the updated master set is downloaded to the controller.

  • Controllers must have a valid Trimble Access software maintenance warranty to synchronize data on the controller.

  1. Tap and select Pipeline tally.
  2. Select Sync tally files.

  3. Tap Upload.

    The tally and joint map files and associated files in the Trimble Data\Common\Tally folder are uploaded to the cloud. The files are also temporarily copied to the Upload folder in the Tally folder. Trimble Access uses the files in the Upload folder to check for changes to the files in the Tally folder. Other project changes including job data are uploaded at the same time.

  4. Tap Accept.
  1. Tap and select Pipeline tally.
  2. Select Sync tally files.

  3. Tap Download.

    The tally and joint map files and associated files are downloaded from the cloud to the Downloads folder in the Trimble Data\Common\Tally folder and then automatically copied to the Tally folder ready for use.

    Before download, Trimble Access uses the files in the Upload folder to check for changes to the files in the Tally folder and warns if the tally files on the controller have been updated and the changes have not yet been uploaded to the cloud. Tap Yes to overwrite the files in the Trimble Data\Common\Tally folder with the new master set. Tap No to cancel the download so that you can upload your changes first and then download the latest master set.
