With v6.3 and higher you will need to create a Project inside of FieldLink plus a new file format which is a TFLX file for the use in the point layout process or to collect scan data. If you have not already upgraded to v6.3, v6.4 or v6.5 and experienced this new workflow we suggest you reach out to your BuildingPoint Sales Representative or the support team to discuss the difference between this new process and the data creation process in FieldLink v6.2 and earlier.

To learn how to create a Project in FieldLink v6.5 please refer to the FieldLink v6.3 – Creating a Project and Importing Data article on the Knowledge Base.

The updated User Guide for this version of FieldLink can be downloaded as part of the install process using TIM.
