Initiate the Survey File

Before using a new Period Survey file, you must initiate it. The initiation process requires an Internet connection.

American Innovations recommends that you initiate all survey files in a location where you have access to the Internet.

Complete the following steps to prepare the Periodic Survey file for use:

  1. Open the PCS Field Data Collector app on the mobile device.

  2. Tap Periodic Survey from the home window.
