Absolutely! Can they not tag the point for deletion and filter that tag out in reports down the line? That would be a quick compromise if the software isn't allowing you to "delete" records.

Ok. We are a golf course irrigation contractor and are recording 1000's of irrigation heads that could be part circle and then be changed to full circle. That is then mapped and used for installation within 1 day. We would prefer to have the capability to change a record for this reason.
Thank You,

Hey Chase,
From an administrative perspective, we typically don't let users delete a record. We have them tag it for deletion instead by a data QC person instead and we can query out any points flagged for deltion as well. This helps avoid the headache of "sorry, I deleted all the points" scenario,
Cheers!

I'm wondering now that we are nearing the end of 2024 if TerraFlex has introduced the ability for field users to delete a mistakenly taken point? I agree that this a crucial limitation in TerraFlex. With 1,000's of points taken in a day, being able to change a point on the fly is necessary.

Hi Lane,
I would just like to add my two cents here. The ability for field users to delete a mistakenly taken point is a crucial limitation in TerraFlex. With over 1,000 points taken in a day, finding and filtering out a mistakenly taken location is extremely challenging and has opened the door for large mistakes to enter our dataset.

Hi Brandon,
Thank you for asking this question. You are correct that the 'Remove Forms' command will remove all forms from the device, which would not be advisable if you simply need to delete a single, mis-collected form.
Today, if a form has already been collected and saved to the device (and very possibly already synced to the cloud), deleting it must be done in the office within the Trimble Map Viewer. Any project administrator will have the ability to see your mis-collected form and delete it from there. If you are still in the middle of collecting a form in the field, that draft form can easily be discarded by backing out of the form itself.
We have received feedback like yours that a field user would like the ability to delete a form from within TerraFlex Mobile after it has been saved. We have also already added this to our possible feature enhancement list for future TerraFlex releases.

Hey there I've got a question regarding Trimble TerraFlex, and deleting points in it. So let's say I'm collecting points in the field, and I collect a point that I maybe shouldn't have collected. What would my options be to delete that point from TerraFlex. The only option that I see in TerraFlex is the "Remove Forms" option. However, that option seems to imply to me that TerraFlex would remove all of my collected forms, and not just the one I was interested in.
