FieldLink and RTS Layout Training
FieldLink and RTS Layout Training
January 20 @ 8:00 am – 4:00 pm
Training Overview
New to RTS? Need a more in-depth training? This class covers it all. The topics we will be discussing in Fieldlink include the More, Device, Measure, and Create tabs. In the More tab, we will be focusing on creating a project file, loading in supporting documents, along with exporting and creating reports with the data collected. We will be going over how to connect, set up control points, and the tool function with the RTS in the Device tab. Moving into Create tab, we will be creating points in every way possible. Then we will move into establishing control points and laying them out in Layout tab. This course covers it all and gets users ready to tackle their job.
