Installing Sync Manager

The Sync Manager desktop application is installed with the latest version of Survey Office.

If you do not have Survey Office, you will need to install the Sync Manager desktop application separately. To download Sync Manager, click the appropriate link:

Team members must have Origin installed on their controller and have a valid Origin subscription or software maintenance warranty to be able to download data from and upload data to the cloud.

Team members can easily work with data in the cloud from within the Origin field software. When connected to the internet and signed in using their Trimble ID, surveyors can quickly download projects and jobs to the controller. Any linked files, including CSV, DXF, coordinate system and feature manager library files are downloaded with the job and stored in the appropriate folder on the controller. Because the Job properties are all configured in the office, the job is ready to start as soon as it is downloaded. Once fieldwork is underway, data can be easily uploaded to the cloud at any time and reviewed in the office.

If required, team members can also create jobs and projects in Origin and then upload them to the cloud from the controller for use in Sync Manager.

Consider implementing a standard project or job naming convention and ensure your team is aware of your conventions.

A Trimble Identity (TID or Trimble ID) is your access to cloud based communication and collaboration within Trimble. You can invite others who have a Trimble Identity to a shared project space within the Trimble Connect cloud.

If you do not already have a Trimble Identity, you can create one from the Sign in screen in Sync Manager or Origin. Select Create a new Trimble ID and follow the instructions.

Create a Trimble Identity for each team member so that you can assign survey jobs to individuals in your team.

A Connect Business for Trimble Access account offers unlimited projects, invites and data storage. It is possible to upgrade your Trimble Identity free of charge for use with Origin under software maintenance agreement. See Upgrading to a Trimble Connect Business subscription license.
