Sharing Feature Classes

Learn how to share feature classes and feature class datasets from one device to another on Touch GIS.

It can be helpful to use the same feature class definitions on each device when working on a project with multiple people on different devices. This helps to ensure that everybody is using the same collection form on all of the different feature classes, and makes aggregation of the data at a later time easier. See the video below for a demonstration of how to share feature classes from one iPad to another on Touch GIS.

See below for all of the steps.

For the sender:

• Open the project where the feature classes are defined

• Open the Options menu

• Open the Feature Classes item

• Open the Feature Class Dataset with the feature classes that you want to share

• Scroll down and tap "Export Dataset"

• Send the generated file to everyone that needs it

For the receiver:

• Open the project where you'll utilize the new feature classes

• Open the Options menu

• Open the Feature Classes item

• Scroll down and tap "Import Dataset"

• Select the file that you received from the sender.

• Start collecting data with your new feature classes!
