Trimble Connect Mobile - File Sort order - How?

  • 1.  Trimble Connect Mobile - File Sort order - How?

    Posted 11-07-2019 15:55

    When browsing project files on the mobile app, the files don't seem to be sorted in any sensical way, and there's no apparent way to sort them as desired. The only place I can find a sort icon is on the projects list, but not for the files list within a project. How are the files sorted by default?

     

    It's extremely frustrating when we have to scroll through hundreds of files to finally get to the point where the file should be, but then it's not sorted correctly so we have to scan each file as it goes by. Quite the waste of time. If there is a method to sort the files that I'm not aware of please post the procedure. Otherwise, is there a work around?

    Hi Ervin,

    Agreed and apologies. Its indeed a problem . The files listing in Connect for Mobile is based on the order in which files were uploaded. We do have this item on our list of priority items to be addressed. But work hasn't started on it yet. 

    As a workaround, we do have the Quick access feature which lets you see the 5 most recent items. So if you opened a file and exited from the app, next time while opening the application it will show up on top of the projects list , so that you don't need to browse through the entire folder hierarchy.
