Focused on stability and usability improvements, most users will find something to celebrate in QField 3.2<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Main highlights<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This new release introduces project-defined tracking sessions, which are automatically activated when the project is loaded<\/strong>. Defined while setting up and tweaking a project on QGIS, these sessions permit the automated tracking of device positions without taking any action in QField beyond opening the project itself. This liberates field users from remembering to launch a session on app launch and lowers the knowledge required to collect such data. For more details, please read the relevant QField documentation section<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As good as the above-described functionality sounds, it really shines through in cloud projects when paired with two other new featurs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, cloud projects can now automatically push accumulated changes at regular intervals. The functionality can be manually toggled for any cloud project by going to the synchronization panel in QField and activating the relevant toggle (see middle screenshot above). It can also be turned on project load by enabling automatic push when setting up the project in QGIS via the project properties dialog. When activated through this project setting, the functionality will always be activated, and the need for field users to take any action will be removed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pushing changes regularly is great, but it could easily have gotten in the way of blocking popups. This is why QField 3.2 can now push changes and synchronize cloud projects in the background. We still kept a \u2018successfully pushed changes\u2019 toast message to let you know the magic has happened \ud83d\ude80<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With all of the above, cloud projects on QField can now deliver near real-time tracking of devices in the field, all configured on one desktop machine and deployed through QFieldCloud. Thanks to Groupements forestiers Qu\u00e9bec<\/a> for sponsoring these enhancements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
