QField is the field data collection app for QGIS, with more than 175K active users and over 650K downloads. QFieldCloud is the sync platform for QField and QGIS, released in early 2023.
We'll show you how to make the most out of these state-of-the-art tools
QField is the field data collection app for QGIS with more than 175K active users and well over 650K downloads. QFieldCloud is the sync platform for QField and QGIS released in early 2023.
In this workshop we will go through the complete fieldwork process: setting up your QGIS project, publishing the project via QFieldCloud, collecting data via the QField mobile app and synchronising the field data back to your main dataset in the office.
QField works on top of QGIS and allows users to set up maps and forms in QGIS on their workstation and deploy them in the field. QField uses QGIS's data providers - OGR, GDAL, PostGIS and others - and supports most common file formats.
QField combines a minimal design with sophisticated technology that allows intuitive viewing and editing of data. QField's map rendering is supported by the QGIS rendering engine, so the results are identical and the full range of styling options available on the desktop is available. Editing forms in QField respect the QGIS configuration and are optimised for touch interaction.
QFieldCloud will also make field collaboration much easier. We will learn about configuring users with different rights, offline and online data collection, and synchronisation of field data and QGIS project data.
Attendees should have a device with QField and an account on QFieldCloud.
