Overview

The goal of this article is to present high-level curricula for training courses.

Basic Data Collection Course

Goal: The goal of the basic course is to train a forester in the basic workflow of designing, implementing, reviewing and exporting data for a simple timber cruise. It follows the high-level workflow that is typically presented in demos and presentations of the the system:

Audience: Field foresters who will use MobileMap to cruise timber. No GIS or specific mobile device experience is needed.

Format: Web-based or in-person

Duration: 2-6 hours, depending on whether data collection will occur outside or in office

Prerequisites:

  • MobileMap and InventoryManager have been configured

  • Settings and business logic have been configured

  • Data model has been published and shared with users

  • Participants have their ArcGIS credentials and have verified access to the feature service

  • Participants have a mobile device (minimum of one device per 3 participants) with MobileMap installed, licensed and a suitable base map downloaded, and a Wi-Fi connection

  • Participants have access to a laptop or PC (minimum of one computer per 3 participants) and a Wi-Fi connection

Topics:

  • Design

    • Importing source stands from a zipped Shapefile

    • Copy of Source Stand to Stand

    • Plot layout

  • Collect

    • Download to MobileMap

    • Navigate to plot(s)

    • Collect tree data

    • Upload data

  • Review

    • Review data in InventoryManager

    • Export data to Excel

Advanced Data Collection Course

Goal: The goal of the advanced course is to build on the basic training and add more advanced topics focused on alternative workflows, more advanced spatial data creation and editing.

Audience: Same as basic course

Format: Typically web-based

Duration: 2-6 hours, depending on specific materials to be covered

Prerequisites:

  • Same materials (device, laptop, ArcGIS credentials, Wi-Fi, etc.) as basic course

  • Must have completed basic course

Topics:

  • Design

    • InventoryManager

      • Heads up digitize Source Stands

      • Edit Stands: vertex editing, split, merge/explode, bulk delete

    • MobileMap (alternative workflow - field based cruise design)

      • Heads up digitize Source Stands

      • Edit Stands: vertex editing, split, truncate, expand, append

      • Plot layout in the field

  • Collect

    • Download parameters

    • GPS data collection for stand delineation, plot update, GPS tracking

    • Stand summary

    • Double sampling (FTN, STR, Big BAF, etc.)

    • Configurable defaults

    • Driving directions

  • Base map download in MobileMap

Data Analysis Course (Compilation and Reporting)

Goal: The goal of the Data Analysis Course is to train foresters and data managers to utilize InventoryManager to support the selected compilation and reporting system(s) for their implementation. This includes implementations that support in-app compilation and reporting (NVEL-based) as well as 3rd party integrations (TCruise, FVS, FPS, Silvah, LRM, etc.)

Audience: Data managers and/or GIS analysts

Format: Typically web-based

Duration: 2-4 hours, depending on specific materials to be covered

Prerequisites:

  • Same materials (device, laptop, ArcGIS credentials, Wi-Fi, etc.) as basic course

  • Must have completed basic course

Topics:

  • TBD, but may include:

    • Compilation process, merch specs, log rules, etc.

    • In-app reports, saving to PDF and other systems (ArcGIS, LRM)

    • 3rd Party apps

      • TCruise

      • FVS

      • FPS

      • SILVAH

      • LRM

      • Other

Administrators Course

Goal: The goal of the administrators course is to train data managers and GIS analysts to implement the back-end services (Feature Services), business logic, settings, etc.

Audience: Data managers and/or GIS analysts

Format: Typically web-based

Duration: 2-4 hours, depending on specific materials to be covered

Prerequisites:

  • Same materials (device, laptop, ArcGIS credentials, Wi-Fi, etc.) as basic course

  • Must have completed basic course

Topics:

  • Back-end services

    • Data Modeling

    • Publishing services

    • Sharing framework

  • Base maps

    • MobileMap base map download and limitations

    • ArcGIS Pro base map creation

    • Base map strategies (data sources, extents, zoom levels)

    • Managing base maps and project folders

  • Business Logic

    • Business Rules

    • Check Cruise Scoring Rules

    • Related Domains

    • InventoryManager Settings: Layers, Maps, Inventory Projects

    • Export configuration files

  • No labels
