This article provides a high-level overview of the TerraGo Mobile Application layout. Use it to understand the four main tabs, what each area is used for, and where common map, list, project, and settings options are located.
Prerequisites
- You must be logged in to the mobile application.
- Data must be synchronized to view the most up-to-date records and projects.
Mobile Application Tabs
The mobile application includes four main tabs at the bottom of the screen: Map, List View, Projects, and Settings. Use these tabs to move between the map, record list, project selection, and application settings.
1. Map View
The Map View is the main landing screen in the mobile application. Records display on the map as pins, icons, or clustered groups. Pins may automatically cluster or separate as users zoom in or out.
The map also includes several tools for navigation, display options, visibility, and map-based actions.
Map Pins and Clusters
Records appear on the map as pins or icons. Different record types, statuses, or configured symbology may display with different colors or icons. When multiple records are close together, they may display as a numbered cluster.
As users zoom in, clusters may separate into smaller clusters or individual pins.
Map Navigation
Users can move around the map using standard mobile gestures.
- Pan: Drag the map to move to a different area.
- Zoom: Pinch in or out to zoom, or double-tap the map to zoom in.
- Rotate: Use two fingers to rotate the map. When the map is rotated, a compass indicator may appear to help identify north.
Map Search
The Map Search icon appears in the upper-right corner of the Map View. Tap the magnifying glass icon to search for an address or location.
- Tap the magnifying glass icon in the upper-right corner of the map.
- Enter the address or location you want to find.
- Select the desired result to move the map to that location.
My Location
Tap the My Location icon to center the map on your current location. Your location may display as a blue location marker. This is useful when comparing your current position to nearby records or assets.
Draw Section
The Draw Section tool allows users to draw a polygon on the map and complete a bulk action on records within that area. This is useful when users need to take the same action on multiple records in the same general location.
- Tap the Draw Section tool on the right side of the screen.
- Tap multiple points on the map to create a polygon around the records you want to select.
- Review the asset count banner at the bottom of the screen as records are selected within the polygon.
- Tap the asset count banner to view available bulk actions for the selected records.
- Select the desired bulk action.
The actions shown from the selected assets panel apply to records within the drawn area. These are bulk actions and may differ from actions available on an individual record.
Map Display Tools
Map display tools allow users to adjust how the map appears and which information is visible while they work.
- Map Display: Opens map display options, such as the selected map type. Map type can also be changed from the Settings tab.
- Map Visibility: Opens visibility options for record types shown on the map. Map Visibility can also be managed from the Settings tab.
Floating Access Button
The Floating Access Button, or FAB, appears in the lower-right area of the Map View. It provides access to available actions and workflows.
The options shown in the FAB may vary depending on your role, permissions, selected records, available workflows, and system configuration.
2. List View
The List View displays records in a list format. Record type tabs appear across the top of the screen. Each tab shows records for that specific record type.
Only one record type tab can be open at a time. Select a record type tab to view and interact with those records in the list.
Interacting with Records
Each row in the List View displays a condensed record card. Users can open, expand, locate, or take action on records from the list.
- Tap the pin icon: Opens the Map View focused on that record.
- Tap the record title: Opens the record details or attributes page.
- Tap Show More: Expands the record card to show additional information.
- Tap the ellipsis (...): Displays available actions and workflows for that record.
Search and Filters
Search and filter options help users narrow the records shown in the selected record type tab.
- Search bar: Type to search within the selected record type. The list updates based on the entered search terms.
- Filter icon: Tap to open available filter categories and criteria. Select the desired filters, then apply or view results.
3. Projects Tab
The Projects tab allows users to control which project records are included in the mobile application view. By default, or when no projects are selected, records from all available projects display in the application.
Selecting specific projects limits the Map View and List View to records associated with those projects. This can help reduce clutter and improve performance when working with large amounts of data.
- Search projects: Use the search bar to locate projects or folders.
- Navigate folders: Tap a folder name to open subfolders or projects. Use the folder path or back navigation to return to a previous level.
- Select or deselect projects: Tap the checkbox beside a project to include or remove it from the current view.
- Deselect all: Tap Deselect All to clear the selected projects and return to viewing records from all available projects.
When viewing the main Projects page, the number of selected projects within a folder may display beside the folder name. The total number of selected projects may also display on the Projects tab in the bottom navigation.
4. Settings
The Settings tab includes general application settings and map display options. Users can also log out from the upper-right corner of the Settings screen.
General settings include app information, system connection and sync details, storage information, layout options, and language selection. Map display settings allow users to change how the map appears and control which map information is visible.
General Settings
- About: Displays application version information, Terms of Use, End User License Agreement, and support access.
- System: Displays server connection information, sync status, storage details, and connected location provider information.
- Layout: Provides layout options, such as Split View when available.
- Language: Allows users to change the display language.
Map Display

- Show User Coordinates: Toggles whether user coordinate information displays on the map.
- Map Visibility: Allows users to select which record types are visible on the map.
