This is the second of your OpenGround onboarding messages. You can find the first one here. As with the previous email there something you now need to Check to ensure you are where you should be and something to Progress to keep you moving forward. There is also something to Advance which you may wish to do now or leave a little later.
Check: Introducing Onboarding and OpenGround Collector Setup
In the previous email we mentioned the overview of the onboarding process. If you haven't been able to review this before now you should do so now. This will help you approach onboarding in an effective manner and help your organisation get the most out of OpenGround.
We also mentioned setting up OpenGround Data Collector. If your organisation will be using OpenGround Data Collector in the field and you haven't had a chance to get it setup you should do so now:
- Download 'OpenGround Data Collector' from the Google Play store.
- Open the app and select the cloud and project required.
- Open the project and download a data entry profile.
Progress: Onboarding Guides
There are a variety of materials which you will find helpful in developing the use of OpenGround. Self-led training materials are freely available on our Learning Management System (LMS). Find out how of access it here:
The materials here follow a structured sequence, allowing you to progress in a logical manner. Feel free to explore and see what might be of interest.
The onboarding guides, however, are a particularly useful point to familiarise yourself with OpenGround as an administrator user. These courses, easily identifiable with "(Onboarding)" in the title, cover the launcher as well as looking at grids, borehole logs and data entry profiles.
Advance: Structured Learning Materials
The onboarding courses introduces the configuration pack guides. Should you have the time reviewing the relevant guide/s will help you understand the component content available to you by default.
Each new instance comes with an example project. You may wish to use this to explore the configuration pack components within the software whilst finding out more from the guide.
By reviewing these resources you can not only understand the kinds of outputs users might produce but also see what essential customizations might need to be applied.
Where the default resources need to be expanded it is key to have some understanding of the underlying data model and how to interact with it. As good data management is key it is best to start here before considering other possible customisations, such as designing a bespoke boring log template.
Thank you for your attention, and we hope you have found this message beneficial. You may begin the next steps here!
There we'll be reviewing any actions you need to complete before moving onto the items you need to Progress next. As before, there will be some additional items which can help you Advance further and will be of benefit if you have the time.
