Split Attachment Workflows

Downloaded projects may be configured to be split into two separate projects including the Data Collection Project and a separate, related Attachment Project.  

A CartoPac Solution file configured to Split Attachments may upload data dependently of its related attachments.  Split attachment projects are recommended for Server workflows when collecting a large number of attachments with limited bandwidth in the field.

When a user first downloads a mobile project from a Split Attachment Solution, the project is split automatically at the time of download into the separate data and attachment projects.  The data project may be uploaded independent of the attachment project, which can remain down on the mobile device.  When downloading subsequent projects, a new data project will be downloaded and automatically linked to the existing attachment project on the device.  Users with limited bandwidth can simply upload and download data with their limited bandwidth and then upload attachments after returning from the field to a location with improved server connectivity.

Split Attachment Architecture

When uploading the Project, attachments may be left on the mobile device.
