If the job you are opening has no defined project height, the Project height screen appears. Key in the project height, or tap Here to define the height using the current GNSS position. If there is no position available, the Here button is disabled.

To create a new local job, tap New. See To create a local job.
To refresh the list of jobs, tap .
The projects screen checks for changes when you first open it but it does not refresh automatically. Tap to see new jobs, for example jobs recently shared with you in Trimble Connect or if you have used File Explorer to copy a job into the Projects folder.
To search for part of the job name, enter the text to search for in the Filter job field. Job names that contain the entered letters are listed.
To change the default filters, tap and select the filter type. A check mark next to the filter means that filter is being applied. Select the item again to disable the filter.
To hide completed jobs from the Jobs screen, tap above the job list and select Status: Completed so that there is no check mark next to it. The next time you change the status of a job to Complete, it will also disappear from the jobs list.
By default, only jobs in the cloud that are assigned to you (Cloud: Assigned to me) or were created by you (Cloud: Created by me), and any local jobs (Controller) are shown.
If your Trimble Sync Manager administrator has permitted, you may be able to see jobs that are not assigned to you. To do this, tap and select Cloud. Jobs that are not assigned to you but that you can download from Trimble Connect are shown in gray text. To download a job, select it and tap Download.
If you download a job that is not assigned to you and then make changes to the job, you will not be able to upload your changes to the cloud.
To change the status of a job, tap the job to select it and in the details panel, select the new Status from the list. The status of a job can be New, In progress or Fieldwork complete.
To edit the job properties, tap Properties. Make your changes and tap Accept. See Job properties.
To delete a job and all associated data files such as scan files from the controller, tap and select Delete. Tap Yes to confirm.
Files in the project folder are not affected when you delete a job. If the job resides in Trimble Connect, the job is only removed from the controller. Nothing is removed from Trimble Connect. You cannot delete jobs that you have not yet downloaded.
When you change the status of a job to In progress or Fieldwork complete, changes to the job are automatically uploaded to the cloud, including local jobs in projects that reside in Trimble Connect.
To upload changes to a job at any time, in the job, select the job in the Jobs screen and then tap and select Upload. The Upload screen shows the name, type, and size of each file in the job that will be uploaded. Tap Upload to upload the data to the cloud. To manage the upload of individual files or to deal with file conflicts, see Managing the synchronization of individual files.
To upload changes to all jobs in the project, for example at the end of each day, select the project in the Projects screen and then tap and select Upload.
If there are no Upload or Download options in the Details menu, the job resides in a local project and data cannot be uploaded to the cloud.
