How to sync Field Manager PRO and 360 with FM PRO Mobile

How to sync Field Manager PRO and 360 with FM PRO Mobile

So you’ve downloaded our app – FM PRO Mobile. That’s great. Now you’re wondering, what’s next? Don’t worry, we’ll walk you through the basic steps to properly sync your app with Field Manager PRO and Field Manager PRO 360.

First, let’s go over some general rules to keep in mind when synching FM PRO Mobile:

  1. Only one crop year is in the sync triangle at a time. The only place that multiple crop years exist is on the desktop.
  2. Establish a process, either by time of day or by order of tasks for your sync. For example, always sync to the cloud from the app at the end of the hour/day/week. This is vital when there are multiple apps in play so we know when it’s appropriate to sync to the desktop.
  3. Once you’ve established your process, stick to it. If you feel you need to change it up, check with support first. We’ll be sure it won’t cause problems in the way your data is moving from the desktop to the app, and back to the desktop.

Here are seven steps for a successful sync process:

  1. Sync from the desktop.
  2. Sign in on the app.
  3. Download the farm to the app.
  4. Enter records/make changes.
  5. Sync changes up to the cloud.
  6. Sign out on the app.
  7. Start over at step one.

When it comes to apps, why should Apple and Android users have all the fun?

When it comes to apps, why should Apple and Android users have all the fun?

BlackBerry users deserve some love, too. And thanks to a new BlackBerry operating system, they’re closer to enjoying what everyone else has taken for granted – access to some great apps.

With the release of BlackBerry 10.2.1, BlackBerry is making it easier to install Android apps, including AgExpert Mobile and FM PRO Mobile.

Sure, the previous operating system allowed BlackBerry users to attempt the installation of some Android apps, but it wasn’t easy. If you’re tech savvy, you could convert Android files in .BAR, and maybe those apps would work.

But with BlackBerry’s new operating system, users can install Android apps using the .APK files – an easier, albeit lengthy, method.

Ready to learn how? We’ve outlined a step-by-step document to help you.

Remember, based on our quality assurance tests, these apps should work properly on your BlackBerry smartphone. However, these Android apps weren’t designed to run on a BlackBerry. We can’t guarantee you’ll have a flawless experience using an Android app or that you won’t experience any app crashes. FCC Management Software can’t troubleshoot any issues for your BlackBerry smartphone.

Also, if you’re a Field Manager PRO 360 user, use the FM PRO Mobile app on an Android or iOS device. The GIS functionality doesn’t work properly on any BlackBerry devices and will make the app crash due to limitations with the access to mapping services on BlackBerry smartphones.
