Imported data not showing on terraflex

  • 1.  Imported data not showing on terraflex

    When I import data (shapefile or KMZ) they are not showing up on terraflex - even ones that have worked in the past are not showing now. Any known solution to this?

    Are you taking the vectorlayers approach where it's just a background vector dataset? Or are you using tasks (ToDos)? Those are the only two methods to get vector data showing up in the field.

    It is just a background dataset - for survey boundaries. Just adding the vector data through the add data button in the map workspace on Trimble Connect. I've tried it with both KMZ and shapefiles with no luck. The data displays fine on trimble connect on desktop but will not display anything on the terraflex application.

    I find that after I upload the shapefiles to Trimble Connect and sync Terraflex, I then need to open the subject workspace in Terraflex and then hit the sync button again.  This time you will notice a blue line across the top of the screen that turns Green when complete.  The vector layers should be visible at that point.

    If you JUST want the geometry, you need to do the vector layers approach that requires unlocking ONE time via the TerraFlex about screen. See here: VectorLayersFinal.mp4. NOTE: There is no audio in the main part of the video but all the steps are clear. If you need to see attributes and select features, you have to take the Todo (Tasks) approach. See here for that:
