The procedures listed below explain how to use PCS with a Field computer, such as Allegro, or Survey Manager to send and receive survey files. The process for sending a survey file to a Field computer requires selection of a prompt, layout, and sorting method themes. If themes have not previously been set up in PCS, begin with the section Working with Themes and Filter Groups and then continue with any of the following procedures for sending a survey file to the Field computer.
If you want to allow the Field computer user to add a new facility record while using the field computer, the PCS user who will send surveys to the field computer must be set up with the Can Create New Facilities On The Allegro option enabled. For more information about setting up a PCS user account, see User Management.
