Guides & videos
Getting started with Forest Assist
Eleven step-by-step guides: two to get started, one per module of the app, and the plot protocol.
Getting started
First steps, the active domain, automatic filing, credits and privacy.
Getting started and help
What the app itself offers you, with no network: the eleven-step tour, the tips that point to the control to tap, the "?" button in each module.
Domains
Create a forest property, place it on the map, attach its contacts.
Mapping
Record a track by walking it, or draw a parcel by hand on satellite imagery; how to lay a grid over a parcel, and why there is no measurement without a parcel.
Observations
The field notebook: create an observation for a round in a domain, enrich it with photographs, transcribed voice notes, tracked trees and plots, each filed in its parcel, then review it on the map or as a list.
Plot
Measure a plot from start to finish from a single stake, in five gestures: timber with the relascope, coppice by quarters, poles in the 10 m circle, regeneration in three circles on the ground, deadwood along three transects.
Compass
Reach a grid point or a tracked tree, or hold a bearing.
Analysis
The statistical stand diagnostic: basal area, stem density, deadwood, regeneration, flows between compartments and species of your plots, with the precision of the sample, then the Word report.
Tools
Distance, trunk diameter and tree height with the LiDAR sensor.
Exports
KML, Excel, route archive and full backup.
Settings
Language, units, indexing precision, relascope calibration, credits.
