Making files available to Landscape Mobile

Once a file is uploaded to Landscape online, you can make it available to Landscape Mobile by toggling it for mobile use. This means that when you prepare the record for offline use, Landscape will download the file to your mobile device so that it's available in the field.

Files toggled for mobile availability will also appear in the 'Attachments' view of the Portal view, so volunteers will have access to them on the desktop as well.

To toggle this option on for a single file, navigate to any location where the file is listed, like the work item's 'Attachments' section. Hover over the item to expose the Attachments toolbar, then click on the phone icon. The phone icon will then appear underneath the document, indicating that it's been toggled on for mobile use.

Updating availability for multiple files at once

Multiple Files for a single record

If you need more than one file from the same record to be available to the mobile app, navigate to that record's 'Attachments' tab and enable the multi-select option by clicking on the icon of a checked box:

Once you have selected the file(s) you need, select 'Change mobile app availability' from the list of Actions.

One or more Files for multiple records

If you need files from multiple records available to the mobile app, use Data Viewer. The field 'Is Mobile Available' is viewable and editable from a view, so if you need to update the availability settings for a set of documents all at once, all you need to do is create a view to do so. For example, here is a view that returns all acquisition documents:

I can then make the 'Is Mobile Available' field visible, select all records, and choose 'Edit Selected Results' from the three dot menu in the toolbar:

Choose 'Update Field' > 'Is Mobile Available' > 'Yes' > click 'OK'

Those documents will now be available to the mobile app.
