Before you start
- Open the correct field record before adding the marker.
- Stand somewhere safe with a useful view of the problem.
- A marker is an approximate field reference and must not be used to decide where it is safe to excavate.
Step by step
- 1
Open Field tools
From Survey details, start phone location so AcreTrace has a current position.
- 2
Choose Repair Needed
Add a marker and select Repair Needed. Give it a short practical name such as North fence break.
- 3
Add useful detail
Describe the work required, urgency, access or materials in the note. Add a photograph if it will help another person recognise the problem.
- 4
Save and check
Confirm the marker appears on the field map. It remains attached to the field while offline.
- 5
Find it later
Open the marker and start location guidance to see straight-line distance and bearing. Continue to use normal field judgement and safe access.
If you get stuck
If Add marker is unavailable, start phone location and allow precise location permission.
If the recorded accuracy is poor, move to clearer sky and refresh the position before saving.
For buried services, use approved plans and locating equipment before excavation.
