Note that there may be times when it is helpful to restore the default MobileMap settings prior to importing settings. This can be useful when a user has edited settings or has imported settings from other Feature Services in the past. To restore default settings, simply tap the refresh (recycle) icon and confirm you want to restore the default settings. Once the defaults have been restored, you can go back and import the settings using the steps above to ensure all settings on your devices are either the default values or those that are stored on the Feature Service you will be using.

8. Confirm Download Parameters (Optional)

MobileMap supports filters known as download parameters when downloading data. Download parameters are optional, but can be helpful when a user does not want to download all of the data stored in a feature service. Examples include scenarios where a user only works in a particular region, or where they should only download data that has been assigned to their company.

  • Actions > EDIT DOWNLOAD PARAMETERS

    • For each relevant layer, enter in the query ‘where’ statement. Note that download parameters for timber cruise are typically applied to the Stands, Plots, Trees and Logs (where relevant). Examples include:

      • Company_ID='XYZ'

      • Work_Area='Nortwest'

      • Cruiser_ID='JJD'

      • Status='Cruised'

    • Typically metadata tables like Rules and Related_Domains are typically NOT filtered

    • Sometimes whole tables are removed from the download list. For example, while a user may collect data with Generic Points, Lines and Polygons, they may choose to uncheck these layers to prevent them being downloaded to their MobileMap device.

9. Download (Optional)

The download task downloads all new or modified data. On the first download, it will download all data in a feature service, or all features that meet the download parameters defined in the previous step. On future downloads, it will download only those data that meet the download parameters AND have been created or modified since the last download.
