Breadcrumbing Details

EpochField Mobile has the ability to auto-complete assigned patrol segments during collecting Breadcrumbs if the current Task Type is configured in EpochField Workflow Builder.
If walking or driving by patrol segments that are part of the current Work Order, those segments will be auto completed if they are within the configured distance between your location and that segment.
- This helps make the data collection process to be more efficient than completing those segments manually.

EpochField Mobile will continue collecting GPS Breadcrumbs even if the device goes to sleep or the application is placed into the background.

At various times during data collection in the field, the data collected must be sent back to the GIS database so work can be tracked, analyzed, and followed up on if necessary.

Data Synchronization occurs only when the device is connected to the internet to support bi-directional communication between the map services used to push data between the GIS database and the devices collecting data.

Synchronize often to reduce data upload times and keep database data up-to-date.
