Hi Trimble,
I have a suggestion for an enhancement for TMM.  Namely, make the exit from TMM more difficult than a one click on the Users' Identity Username.

As TMM is written now, from the Hamburger the EXIT from the program is at the top, and is a one-click Exit which of course forces the user in the field to return to his/her office to engage with Internet.  There isn't a "ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO EXIT THE PROGRAM" trigger which would pause users in selecting this option.  I have better solution to put EXIT on the bottom of the controls under the Hamburger ICON.  You are making it WAY TO EASY to shutdown the application which for many of our users who are without internet, possibly days away from internet, cannot recover from.

Having the Exit at the top is counter-intuitive - Look at Access where the EXIT is at the bottom of the Hamburger list of controls and is normally a two step process, to scroll up, find Exit then click.  

If you did this simple restructure, you can prevent this accidental Exit from the program.  Move the EXIT PROGRAM control to the bottom of the hamburger icon making this a more difficult operation for field personnel who are on the 30-day clock of use, and are not in a situation where they can re-instate this application.

Hi Joel,

Could you clarify what you mean by TMM? Do you mean the Mobile Mapping module within TBC? Or are you perhaps talking about the TMI (Trimble Mobile Imaging) software which runs the mobile mapping device in the car? If you are talking about the Mobile Mapping module within TBC, could you clarify what part of the workflow this is happening in? 

Thanks,

Hannah
