Tree form

Item type, ID numbering and manual text, species, dropdowns with Other, checklists, quotes and saving.

The tree form records one item. Tap + Add Tree on the tree list for a blank form, or tap an existing row to edit it. The fields come from the project’s data structure.

A blank Add Tree form. The ID is filled in for you.

A completed form, marked on the project map.

Item type, ID number and manual text

Item type: Tree, Group or Other. The type sets the ID prefix (for example T- for trees and G- for groups; Other uses its own prefix).
ID number is filled in automatically with the next free number. You can type a different number.
Manual text adds your own text to the ID, for example an existing tag number such as (897).
The prefixes, number width (for example 3 gives T-001) and numbering style are set in Project settings:
- Continued – one sequence for every type: T1, T2, G3, O4.
- Separated – each type counts on its own: T1, T2 / G1 / O1.

Tree species

Start typing a common name (or a scientific name in the second box).
Pick a suggestion from the species catalogue. Both names are filled in, and the scientific name is shown in italics automatically.
If the species is not in the catalogue, type both names yourself. The new species is added to the catalogue when you save the tree.

Inspection date

Every tree has an inspection date, which is set to today on a new tree. Tap it to choose another date.

Field types on the form

Checklists and number boxes

Checklist options written with {num} in the template show a small number box in the sentence, for example Reduce crown by approximately [3]m all over. Type the number after ticking the option. When the tree is exported, the numbers are written into the sentence.

Ticked checklist items with number boxes filled in.

Quote PRO

Quoting is a Pro feature. Each tree can use one of three methods (the project default is set in Project settings):

Fixed price – type a price.
Labour – staff × hours × the hourly rate.
SOR (schedule of rates) – tick items from the project’s SOR list, and set a quantity for each. Search the list with Filter SOR items.

All methods allow an Additional charge and Quote notes. The Final price is worked out for you and added to the project total.

SOR quote: TW01 and TW07 ticked, quote price £130.00.
