Welcome to the Field Tool

The Field Tool is a downloadable mobile app that gives you a simplified mapping tool for viewing, collecting, and sharing information in Intterra

TIP: The primary function of the Field Tool is to make it possible to see & collect information when in areas with little to no comms (when the web application cannot be reached). It is an independent app that permits a user to collect data and send location information to the Intterra web-based application.

The benefits of using the app for its intended use are significant -

Seamless sync to our servers. No client GIS specialist or moving files to and from cloud storage is required.
No separate accounts required! Simple admin and no additional cost for client.
Same feel as Intterra web Maps app.
Ability to create point, lines, and polygons by device location.
Ability to use as tracking device and display as a mobile unit (requires custom integration).

With the Field Tool, you can see your location in relation to incident maps and you can collect detailed information for daily use to support incident operations, structure triage, damage assessments, fire prevention, and wildfire risk planning.

The Field Tool is a solution for poor internet connectivity. It supports offline operations, to include storage of Intterra and user-collected data and basemaps, and then it sends all user additions back to your organizations' Intterra database.

This app also lets you register your smart device and enable location tracking so your personal contact information and fieldwork location can be tracked in Intterra. That way you can be contacted in the event of an emergency (custom integrations and registration and tracking requires an internet connection).

Below is a chart that shows the similarities and differences between the Intterra web-based application and the Field Tool.
