1. Tap the New… button. The Create a New
Job dialog box will open, which prompts
you for a job name where the current date
is the default name.
2. Either type in a new job name or accept the
default name. Control points can
optionally be used or imported from
another existing job by checking the Use or
Import a Control File checkbox. (See Page 31
for more information on control files.) For
this example, leave this unchecked and tap
Next > to continue.
Another screen will open where you select
some of the job settings. Select the settings
that you desire and tap Next > to
continue.
Note: When creating a new job, it is important
that the Units for Distances field be set to the
correct units. This allows you to seamlessly
switch between different units in mid-job.
Problems can arise if these units are
inadvertently set to the incorrect units when
new data is collected.
3. Since all jobs must have at least one point
to start with, the final screen displays the
default point name and coordinates for the
first point. Accept the default values by
tapping Finish . This will create and store
the new job. You are now ready to explore
the software.
