The Geopaparazzi Survey Server (GSS) allows users to synchronize Geopaparazzi projects with a central server. The GSSSync app connects Geopaparazzi projects to the GSS to upload and download data using a unique device ID. The GSS provides views for users, surveyors, maps, settings, exports, and a form builder to create customized forms for data collection. Surveys are conducted using Geopaparazzi and forms from the GSS, and survey data is synchronized to the GSS using GSSSync.
11. activate an automatic registration mode for 5 minutes.
New devices that connect during the 5 minutes are
automatically added, if the surveyor does not exist. The
name of the surveyor by default is the id of the device.
This can be changed later.
12. create web users and groups. There are two levels of
users: admins and normal users.
17. download the complete spatial database of the server.
The database is in H2GIS format and can then be
connected to with gvSIG, orbisGIS, OpenJump (maybe
others also)
20. THE LOG VIEW
The log view can help to understand issues when they
happen. It lists various types of messages. The two most
usefull types are:
ACCESS: to see if and why a user could not log in or
upload data
ERROR: to understand why a particular problem is
happening
25. CHECK YOUR DEVICE ID!
The first thing to do is to check if the device has an own
unique device id. If it has one, the following screen will be
shown
28. CREATE WEB USERS (LET’S CALL
THEM COORDINATORS)
To prepare the survey we first create web users for the
coordinators. They will be able to create the forms and if
they have admin rights also prepare data for the survey.
Select the Web Users Settings entry and a user for every
coordinator.
36. DOWNLOAD THE DATA WITH GSSS
If you open the GSSS, enter the Data Download view and
push refresh, you should see the available data. The
different icons are for basemaps (grid), overlays (polyline)
and project.
53. DOWNLOAD THE FORM (GSSS)
To get the forms on your device just open the GSSS and
enter the Tags Download section. Refresh to get the list and
download.
60. SEND A LOG
If you experience issues or problems of any kind, you can
use the send debug log button to send some debug
information about the error to the developers. This will help
them to solve the issue and create a new release.
