About this app

This is a Demo version of the Wetland Delineation forms that will let you see the look and feel of the full version of WetForm Android. All the COE regions will work similarly to this Demo. The following items are crippled or modified in the Demo version:
- All Import/Export functions are crippled
- The COE manual is not available, but other help files are.
- The species list is for the Caribbean Islands and can't be changed.


WHEN YOU FIRST OPEN THE DEMO, THE FIRST STEP IS TO ADD A RECORD. OPEN THE MENU (USUALLY THREE BARS OR THREE DOTS AT THE BOTTOM OF YOUR SCREEN OR THE DEVICE) THEN TAP PROJECT>ADD RECORD.

WetForm AGC (Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plain Region) – is data collection software for the latest wetland delineation forms from the US Army Corps of Engineers (COE). WetForm AGC Android connects with WetForm ACCESS Desktop (http://www.WetForm.com) to quickly and easily edit and print (to pdf) the wetland delineation/determination forms required by the COE.

The regional versions of the COE as well as the recent changes to the National Wetland Plant List (April 2016) are incorporated in this highly automated data entry form. WetForm Android AGC includes an automatic lookup species list that includes over 13,000 taxa. When you look up a species, the indicator status is automatically filled in, and when you enter the cover value for that species, the dominance, prevalence and FAC-neutral calculations are automated.

- All of the vegetation, hydrology, and soils information are easily filled in, and all of the logic is automated.
- The entire COE manual including the images are included as help files.
- If your device has built in GPS functions, the latitude and longitude of your location can be filled in automatically. You can also connect to an external GPS device with Bluetooth to automate the recording of your coordinates.

WetForm Android exports comma delimited files (csv) that directly import into WetForm ACCESS Desktop.
Please view the WetForm AGC Android video Tour to see the functions and speed of this program.

Although WetForm Android is designed to be used with WetForm Desktop (purchased separately), it can be used as a handy wetland delineation field calculator, species lookup and COE Manual resource without the desktop version.

NO network data plan is needed, and no annual subscription is charged. WetForm Android does not need network connection.

CAUTION: Please be sure your Android device is sunlight viewable. Not all devices have sunlight visible screens. I have had good success using the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2.0 7 inch, and the Samsung Galaxy Player 4 inch, neither of which need a data plan. There are also ruggedized 7 inch tablets from Panasonic, GeTac and others that are sunlight visible. Of course WetForm Android will also function on your Android Phone.

Here is a YouTube video about an economic set up of a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7" with battery backup that works well and runs all day. Total cost for the hardware is less than $300.

USER NOTES:
How to clear an entry in the vegetation forms - Put your cursor in the row where you want to remove a species first replace the cover value with 0 (zero) then put your cursor in the species control. Do your species search on AAA, you will then get one item called AAA Clear Data. Select that item and it will clear that row.
