Happy new year!
Updates this week:
- Monitor App - Staging vs. Production.
- Staging is your practice field, and production is where the real action happens. Always remember, staging is meant for testing and experimentation, while production is where all your real data should go.
- App Updates - The tech team are working hard to add features, troubleshoot and improve Monitor. Make sure to update your app when prompted to ensure you benefit from any new features. When you are preparing to go into the field make sure you remember to prepare for offline collections too!
- Helpdesk Tickets – More Info = Faster Solutions!
- Need help? The more details you can provide when submitting a Helpdesk ticket, the quicker our team can jump in and fix things. Screenshots and the link to your project in MERIT are always helpful!
- The Best Way to Run Your Device? No phones, please!
- iOS software (Apple iPhone and iPad) is not supported. Monitor works best on Android devices and computers using Google Chrome. We know phones are convenient, but trust us – your app will run much better on a tablet.
- Get the latest! We’ve recently uploaded Version 2 of several module manuals. Head over to https://emsa.tern.org.au/documents to make sure you have the newest versions on hand!
- Data Summaries - Before you queue your collection for submission, be sure to carefully check the data summary to ensure required fields are completed. Once a collection is in the queue waiting to be synced it cannot be edited!
- The EMSA Community of Practice # 8 online meeting was held on the 11th December 2024. The recording is now available at the Events and Webinars tab. Guest speakers joined us from The Decision Support and Analysis (DSA) team from Environment Information Australia and MERIT.
