  • Is there a way to force photos to export as landscape rather than portrait?
    Especially given the lat/long and date/time data being displayed, it looks ugly if I simply rotate the photos into landscape mode after export.

    • @johnivett got any thoughts on this question?

      • Photo orientation is controlled by the user at the time of capture, so both portrait and landscape will present correctly with the appropriate footer overlay. If the image has been collected using the incorrect orientation there is no capacity to modify this after it has been committed to the database. I would suggest exporting those images that…Read More

        • That is the case when using my iphone but not when using my android tablet.
          On the tablet, I checked in just the camera app and it is recognising landscape vs portrait but in Konect it is not. Is there a setting I can check on Konect — there does not seem to be one for the camera app itself.

          • Hi Connor, Konect simply reads the EXIF data supplied by the camera application on your device. In your case it appears that the EXIF data is not standard and cannot be interpreted by Konect. There are no settings available in Konect to override this, so I think you will need to use a work around to resolve the issue.

            • Thanks for the info John. These are Galaxy Tab A9+ devices, I wouldn’t think anything would be unusual. When I enabled screen rotation (lock was default) it was forcing the photos into landscape mode for me.

            • Hi John, thanks again for your earlier help. Is there also a way to increase the text size of the lat/long and photo data info?

            • Connor, Konect does not allow modification of the default settings, so no you can’t modify the text size. An alternative for you may be to use an alternative camera driver on the Galaxy Tab. I have implemented this for a number of clients but not specifically for your requirement, but it is related. Some government agencies require the metadata to…Read More

  • I’d like more options for Map Styles.
    Specifically, I think the requirement to have a list be used for the Style column is too restrictive.

    I’d like to be able to do styles by date or range.

    • I’m interested in this too – to be able to change colours by query or rule. An option is to port the data to Power BI and set it up there.

    • While you can only have pseudo thematics based on list values, there is a work around using queries and individual styles. A common example of this is where we have a text calculated field tracking a range of activities at a site and the calculation returns a value of Proposed, Started, Partially Completed and Completed. In this case a style is…Read More

  • FORM BEHAVIOUR – in the list of options, there is -Edit only- and -Create and edit-, but no -Create-. Why is this? For example, in a Trees system, an operator should be able to create a new tree record, but not to open and edit an existing record. Or a chemical application, should not be able to edit an existing record.

    • Hi Peter,
      In Konect Manager we try to keep it simple, so we offer the most used set of permissions. We tend to find users that create a record often need to reopen them again at some stage, which would be in edit mode. The create only option would lock users out of editing the record they just created, the only work around would be to create it…Read More
