QField Advent Calendar - Day 6 📥 On-Demand Attachment Downloads On-demand image, video, and audio attachment downloads came to #QFieldCloud this year! When turned on, QField will download a given attachment only when requested by a feature form.

🔒 Granular Layer Permissions With the QFieldSync plugin you can set up a granular set of permissions that covers all aspects of digitizing or editing for a given vector layer. These permissions can be set as rules or through data-defined properties.

QField Advent Calendar - Day 4 📝 Layer Notes in the Legend QField's legend now shows a layer notes icon. When tapped, it displays embedded notes attached to map layers within your current project. The notes are configurable in your QGIS project!

☁️ Shared Datasets Across Cloud Projects This year one of our favorite features is sharing datasets across multiple cloud projects (a.k.a localized paths in QGIS). Now its easier to manage read-only datasets across multiple projects, and this can dramatically reduce storage

📐 Map Canvas Grid Decoration New this year, QField added grids to the list of supported decorations (titles, copyrights, and images). Dynamically render a grid on top of your map canvas so you don't need to ship a grid dataset, reducing the size of your projects.

🎯 Background Position Tracking The most requested item on our to-do list: background tracking while your Android phone is locked or #QField is in the background. No more keeping your screen on during long field surveys. Just lock your phone, put it in your pocket, and let QField do its thing

In QField you can activate an accuracy indicator, set your own bad / excellent thresholds, and even enforce accuracy so vertex creation is restricted when your GNSS fix is worse than the “bad” threshold. Red = wait. Yellow = almost there. Green = go. -- seem familiar? ;) #QField
