How do I add typed notes and metric readings?

Some things are easier to type than say, like a tag number or a reading in a noisy barn.

Typed notes on the phone

1. In a visit, tap Note.
2. Type in the box that says What did you see?
3. Tap Save note, or Discard to throw it away.

Metric readings on the phone

1. Tap All tools, then Metrics.
2. In Add a metric, use Search metrics to find the reading, for example soil moisture or body condition.
3. Enter the value. Last here shows the previous value at this place.
4. Tap Save metric.

On the web

The recording bar has Note and Metrics buttons that work the same way.

Good to know

• You can pin up to 2 tools to the bottom bar. Open All tools and use Pin next to a tool.
• If your team marks some metrics as required, ending the visit without them shows Required metrics missing with Review metrics and End without these.
• Readings you say out loud are also picked up after the visit, as proposed values you confirm.
• The list of metric types is managed by a team admin in Settings, Metric types.
