Cannot see the history on my device

Hi there

I uploaded a history (rules) file of previous species sightings into a project. When I open the project on the desktop I and am able to see the points, select inspect etc on my field map but when I install the project on my phone the sites are not visible. I have also added shapefiles to the field map and they are perfectly visible when I open the application on my phone.

What do I need to do, to see the history points in on my phone?

Cheers

Hi there,

Please confirm the file you let available for the more update version of cybertracker (ct3515u.msi - 3.515) is not a older version (3.503)? Files available via cybertracker.org or cybertrackerwiki.org seems to have the some problem. Although Admin install version is actually the most updated version - 3.515.

best,
Nuno

Hi Eren,

The history file gets updated whenever you synchronize to the device and it tries to get the latest data in order to do that.

Is the data available in your database, i.e. does running the original query show you data?

Thanks Justin

Ok. I clearly did not quite understand how this works. The original query is there but I created the rule file using a subset of this. What I would really like to do is to enable people to check previous sightings at a given location in the field. This includes recent sightings made using CyberTracker but it also includes some sightings made a very long time ago e.g. >100 years. Using the history data is obviously not the way to go. I guess one could turn all those sightings into go to points. This would allow inspection of the points (which species, when etc ). However, I don’t want to use the Go-to function this way because I would like to use is to show critical locations such as acoustic monitoring sites. Is there another way of doing this ?

Hi Eren,

Importing old point data as sighting data – along with an easy to query tag would mean you could use the history feature. Will that work?

Hi Justin

I tried this and when I do a test run on the desktop it works perfectly. However, when I install the project on my phone I am unable to see the history. I am assuming that there is some small thing I am neglecting. Note that I first copy my zip and def into a Microsoft Azure storage (blob) and users then install it on their devices using webinstall.
