Project information

As a field worker, you can view information about the project you're working with on your field device. This information is useful for you to communicate with your project administrator when you encounter problems using the project.

In a Windows Mobile device, the information is categorized into basic and advanced types. For example, you can find the size of the mobile map data from the basic information page. If you fail to synchronize data, from the advanced information area you can also find the operation log with a detailed synchronization failure message. In a Windows device, all information is presented in one page.

To view and/or save a project's information, open the project (see Opening/Closing/Deleting projects for more details) then read the appropriate section that fits your device type.
