Data Downloads
After opening the Data Transfer tool, you can select which file type you preferwould like to download data in. This opens another form where you can select the specific data layer(s) you would like to download.
Downloading a Shapefile or Excel file only allows you to download one layer at a time, which can be started by simply clicking on the layer name.
Downloading an Access a Geodatabase file allows you to select multiple layers. To do so, click the check-box next to the layer(s) you want included in the Access download, then click ‘Submit’.
Downloading Selected Sites
To download a specific set of sites in Shapefile, Excel, Access or Excel Geodatabase format, start by selecting the sites you would like to download by running a search or quick filter, Showing Checkmarked Sites in a report, or using a map tool. Once the desired sites have been selected, open Data Transfer Utilities, choose your preferred file type, and you should see two choices options just above the list of data layers. Those options allow you to choose between ‘Entire Layer’ or ‘Map Selected ’.
Choosing ‘Map Selected’ then clicking on the layer name will download a file containing only the sites you had selected on the map.for Shapefile and Excel downloads, or Use your selected sites for Geodatabase downloads.

The resulting downloads will include all attributes in the system and will show the attribute’s Interface Name rather than the Display Name. If you would rather choose which attributes will be in the download and/or have the Display Name in the download, we recommend customizing the Data Grid and exporting the data through the Data Grid. |
File Review
The
File Review tool is a way to view all uploaded
files in your TreeKeeper system. After clicking on
File Review in Data Transfer Utilities, you will then have to specify the sites you want to view the files for and decide if you
want to view deleted files as well.
Map Selected: this will return files for the sites that are currently selected on the map. This feature is good to pair with a search, quick filter, map selection, etc.
Custom Search: a form where you can add some criteria. This can be used to filter down the data
and show only
files belonging to the sites that match the chosen criteria.

If you want to see all of the |
files in the system, just choose the data layer(s) in the ‘Facilities’ criteria box. |
After specifying the criteria, click ‘Submit’ at the bottom of the form and the
files will be displayed. See the next section for some of the functions you have access to on this screen.

To learn more about the Import/Update feature, see the following documentation: Import/Update Inventory with an Excel file.
Rover Utilities
If there is an ongoing Rover collection in your TreeKeeper system, you may see three additional features in Data Transfer Utilities. Those features (Create Subscriptions, Manage Subscriptions, and API Logs) are utilities to help with Rover. If you do not see these, that means Rover is not currently enabled on your TreeKeeper, which is expected as nearly all TreeKeeper systems are delivered with Rover disabled.
