The Terraware mobile app is required to complete planting site observations that are scheduled in Terraware for plant monitoring activities. To learn more about scheduling observations, visit Observations for Monitoring.
Plant Monitoring feature in the mobile app
The Plant Monitoring feature in the mobile app provides a way for you to record plant data for Observations, even while in the field with limited network connectivity. Information, including species and live or dead status, can be logged for each plant in the plot. Photos and field notes can be taken and associated with the plots.
The plant data that you collect is analyzed in Terraware, and insights based on the data is surfaced in Dashboards in the web app that are specific to each of your planting sites.
In the Plant Monitoring feature in the mobile app, you will see all of the "In Progress" Observations listed under "Current Observations". All of the scheduled but not yet started Observations will be listed under "Future Observations."
Before you track plants in Observations, the mobile app guides you through claiming monitoring plots and marking the boundaries of monitoring plots.
For more detailed information about conducting Observations using the mobile app, visit Observations for Monitoring.
