What is the Observations List
The 
Observations List is the screen where all observations and tracks saved in a project can be viewed chronologically, with the newest at the top. This screen is helpful when searching for a specific observation amongst many, especially in projects including observations and tracks received from other devices with 
Exchange. The Observation List is an alternative to using the map screen, where you can also access information collected in a project by selecting observations from the map.
Access the Observation List any time from the main tabs on the bottom of the screen
Navigating the Observation List
This is the best place to review specific observations because category names, dates and times, and icons are visible at a glance.
Each item in the list provides a summary including:
-
Category Name (Observation only) This is the predetermined label of a selected category.
-
Timestamp This is the date and time the Observation or track was first saved. For observations and tracks taken the same day that the list is viewed, this informations is displayed as time since the observation was taken.
-
Category icon The icon displays at full size for tracks and observations without photos. This icon will display smaller when there are photo thumbnails.
-
Photo thumbnail Thumbnails of any photos attached to an observation are displayed as stacked tiles. These are helpful visual references when scrolling through a long list of observations.
-
Exchange indicators If the device has exchanged observations with other devices in a project then all the observations – yours and those of others – appear on this list. Observations and tracks collected by other devices will have a vertical blue indicator line on the left margin.
