·       Mobile: 8-11 inch tablets where field and font size needs to be bigger to operate by touch.

·       Standard Landscape: displays greater than 11 inches

·       Portrait: 8-11 tablets.  Field size is smaller than Mobile View and larger than Standard Landscape view.  This format also optimizes GeoInfo Mobile content, minimizes Windows and Access software elements, and works well with the Windows onscreen keyboard.  

GeoInfo Mobile v2.6 for Android

• Auto sample numbering
• Eight sample types available
• Date picker
• Pick lists for fast field data collection, attribute standardization, and no typo’s.
• Many fields that are common for each sample are defaulted for quick data entry.  Users always have the option to change values and when changed the new value becomes the default.
• Photos can be taken or entered with each sample.  Rather than typing each photo name users set their cameras photo naming prefix and suffix and then the current photo number, GeoInfo Mobile then builds the photo name and auto counts the photo ID automatically for subsequent photos.

• Collect Surface Geochemistry Samples for many sample types; Rock, Soil, Stream Sediment, Pan Con, Lag, Vegetation, Water, and QAQC.
• Auto sample numbering.
• QAQC sample types include Blanks, Standards and Field Duplicates.  Field duplicates are automatically assigned the previous samples ‘Duplicate With’ attribute.
• QAQC intervals can be set to remind users to collect QAQC samples, and what type to collect.

• Each sample type has unique descriptive characteristic fields appropriate for the sample type ... structure for Rock samples... soil horizon for Soils ... trap type for Stream Sediments ... etc ...  
• Descriptive field types were designed by many experience geologists and several geochemists, with the goal in mind of providing as many descriptive fields as possible to the user that would facilitate proper and thorough data analysis.  No fields are required but all are available.
• Download the GeoInfo Mobile users manual to review all field types for each sample type.
• Device sensors allow your device to be a compass, for reading Azimuth and Dip measurements.
  

• GeoInfo Mobile connects to an internal GPS to automatically add GPS coordinates to each sample.
• GPS signal quality information, HDOP and number of satellites, is collected with every sample.
• The automatic GPS coordinates that are added to the database using the Read GPS button are not editable ... a quality control feature.
• Manually entered coordinates can be added if needed, but should only be done if there is a problem with the user's standard GPS.
• The GPS page is identical in the Geochemistry Sample Card, Observation Database and Data Logger tools.

• Observation types exist for common field observations and the General type can be used for other observations.  All observations have a place in the observation database!

• Each observation type has appropriate unique attribute fields

• Site properties, MagSus, Conductivity and Gamma Radiation can be collected for all Observations and Geochemistry Samples.

• The Geology observation type has the same fields as collecting a Rock sample in the Geochemistry Sample Card. A place to record geologic information where you do not want to collect a rock sample.

• The Geology observation type is used for field mapping.

• A photo can be taken with each sample, observation or logged interval.
• Your device sensors can be used to take compass readings.

Form View

Datasheet/Log view

GeoInfo Mobile v2.6 for Android

• Multiple log types for logging all geologic characteristics of a drill hole, trench or underground working.

• Parameters log can be used to log any information that does not exist in the other logs.

• From is auto-defaulted to last To value for rapid error free logging.

• To values are checked to make sure they are greater than From values.

• Users have the option to add new intervals (new From defaulted to old To value), or new entries like Minerals with the same From To.

• List view or Form is available.

• Calculations like Recovery and RQD are calculated and displayed as required values are entered

• Photo log can take picture from your device camera and auto-name using Drill Hole ID and From-To interval.
  

• The GeoInfo Mobile Settings page allows users to set QAQC message intervals for geochemistry samples.

• The GeoInfo Mobile Data page allows Export, Import and Clear data.Data for each module is exported to a comma delimited text file that can then be loaded into a corporate database like GeoInfo Tools, Excel, GIS or mine modeling software.  These files are small and can easily be emailed.

• The idea is to collect data for a while (generally a few days to a few weeks), export the data, send this data to a PC where it can be loaded into a corporate database, and then clear the PPC database for the next field trip.

Master lookup lists are managed using the Lookup List Manger tools in GeoInfo Mobile, or the Lookup List Manger tools in Geo-Information Solutions GeoInfo Tools corporate database software. 

Several tools are provided in GeoInfo Tools the database for managing this data; including collection, importing, exporting, viewing and completing data analysis.  Importers for GeoInfo Mobile export files are used to import field data into the database.  Assay importers are then used to link assay results with GeoInfo Mobile field descriptions. Users of the GeoInfo Tools database do not need the PC Lookup List Manager software as this functionality and more is built into GeoInfo Tools.  Contact Mike.Schaefer@GeoInfoSol.com for more information on GeoInfo Tools and integrating GeoInfo Mobile into a complete corporate data solution.

Master lists are all the possible values for a field, while the second level of lookup list management is the Active/Visible setting for each value which determines what values are visible in lookup lists in the database collection forms.

• Lookup lists and data collection validated using lookup lists offer the benefit of rapid clean standardized data entry with no spelling/data entry errors.  GeoInfo Mobile puts corporate data collection rules at the rock human interface! The GeoInfo Mobile Lookup List Manager allows complete management of lookup list including editing, adding, and deleting values, as well as Import and Export of lists from corporate database lists.

• There are two levels of lookup list control in GeoInfo Mobile.  The master lists are lists of all the possible values for a specific field (like lithology) and are commonly managed in GeoInfo Tools (a corporate database available from Geo-Information Solutions) or another corporate database.  Most times, master lists do not need editing in GeoInfo Mobile.  The second level of control for lookup lists is the active/visibility setting of a specific value in your lookup lists (what values show up when you click a field with a dropdown list), and are commonly controlled by each user based on what values they might expect or need on their specific project or field activity.  The active/visibility setting is commonly edited in GeoInfo Mobile.

• Import Lists allow the user to select a file to from which to import lookup list values.  This file is usually generated from an export from GeoInfo Tools or another corporate database or from another GeoInfo Mobile user.

• Export Lists allows a user to export his current lookup list values with current active settings.  If a user defines specific lists that are appropriate for a project, these lists can be exported and given to other users who might be working on the same project, so that all users have the same active lists visible in GeoInfo Mobile.
