New Features for Mobile Network

Endless

Surveying

Photos

One of the requests we

had was the ability to see

more photos than the

limiting 15 or so photos

you see from the network

feed. So this version

satisfies that in a huge

way! You can sit and

scroll through land

surveying photos all day

if you want! Enjoy!

Endless

Scrolling

When using the mobile

version, there is no

possible way that you

could not find something

to interest you, while

surfing from the field. All

pages on the mobile

version endlessly scroll

when you reach the

bottom of the page,

serving you up more and

more topics.

Go and Stay Productive!

Finding Your Groups While On the GoWhen you're out surveying in the field and using our mobile network interface from your

phone, it occurred to me that you would have an easier time finding which group forum

to post to, if you could just click My Groups and proceed to starting a discussion in the

relevant group. So I've done the leg work and made this easier for you. Take a look at the

new drop-down menu beside the search bar, which will make it super simple for you to

find your groups on the mobile version of our group forums page. Take a look at this

image (above) for reference on how to find it inside the mobile network.

Connect Your Social Profiles to Your LSUProfile and Update From The Field!It can be a chore to send multiple status updates to all of your social profiles, especially

when away from a computer. The fastest and easiest way to keep all of your social media

profiles like Facebook and Twitter is to sync them with your Land Surveyors United

profile and update from the field using the new LSU mobile.

Stay Connected Locally and SurveyGloballyNetwork With Your Local Group Members

We are all part of a dynamic group or society of professionals based on the geographic

location of our homes. By searching the new mobile groups, you can join a group forum

based on your location and share experiences right from the field. This will give us all a

better understanding of what it is like to be a surveyor in your area. Tell us about the

challenges you face such as environmental hurdles, wildlife safety, weather conditions,

etc. In our pursuit of a more global understanding of how surveyors operate around the

world, we can better equip ourselves for the challenges found within the industry

through creation of awareness.

Share Important Announcements in Your Area

State Boards, Professional Associations and Societies can all benefit from the ability to

keep everyone on the same page by making your most important announcements known

by sharing them in the local group forum based on a location. This will also make it

simpler to notify everyone of changes in a calendar or having local chapters RSVP for

important events.

Fix Your Broken Equipment

How to Upload Photos From the

Ever had something break in the field? Sure we all have. By searching for the

manufacturer of the equipment and asking a question inside the correct group forum,

you are effectively targeting your question towards other members who are

familiar with that type of equipment. You could, for example, ask if some other

surveyor out there might have a user guide for the type of equipment you are using. Now

with Mobile Group Forums all of this can be possible without having to pack up and head

back to the office.

Troubleshoot Errors and Issues While IN the Field

Errors can destroy a productive day of surveying. Nevertheless, many errors can be

resolved quickly by asking a fellow surveyors who have dealt with and over come those

errors. Many errors for equipment simply have never been documented and therefore

you may never find the solution without asking a fellow experienced surveyor. Use the

Mobile Group Forums feature as your Get Out of Jail Free Card and contribute solutions

to common problems so that other surveyors can benefit from your experience, while on

the go!

Page inside the navigation on the right (as pictured above).

Step Three: Add a eye catching and descriptive title as it will be what everyone

description which tells us about whats going on in the photo and where the

photo was taken.

Less Bugs and More FeaturesBug Smashing Mobile Rover Update

Tighting up the final stages of this phase for the Mobile Rover, and just wanted to let you

know of a few of the bugs we fixed, features added and things you can do with the new

Land Surveyors United Mobile.

~We provided an option for you to set the view for a Stories, Forum, Event or Groups

page to My Blog Posts, My Events, My Discussions etc. This will mean that signed in

members see their own list of items.

~We added the day of the week to the Event listing heading, so that surveyors can see at

a glance what day of the week an event is on. If you know of an upcoming event in your

area, please add it to the network. Events for now can only be added via the desktop

version of Land Surveyors United, but working on the mobile solution.

~For Forums, Surveyor Stories and Photos, we've added a "Show Search and Filter

options" checkbox to the management screen that will put a search field and dropdown

filter for available views into the mobile page. Groups and Events currently have this, and

now you have the option to provide it to members for other page types as well.

~We fixed the issue where members couldn't friend other members via mobile.
