From field capture to finished profile

Step 1

Open Nivium Home

Choose your input path based on your field conditions.

• Voice Notes: Speak snowpack observations into your phone, then render or refine the profile once you are back on reception or Wi-Fi.
• Manual Data Entry: Render a profile offline by entering each section step-by-step.

Step 2

Capture Voice Notes

• Voice Notes: Speak observations directly into the app while you are in the field.
• Push "Record Audio" and start speaking your observations by following the steps in the field card below.
• You can pause and resume recording at any time by pressing "Pause Recording" or "Resume Recording".
• When you are finished, press "Stop Recording" and Nivium will format your notes into an engine-readable format.
• For best results, read through the field card (just below the entry-box) aloud and fill in blanks as you work top-to-bottom. You must enter the bold parts under Snowpack Layers in the field card to be able to create a profile. All other entries are recommended but optional.
• Nivium keeps those notes intact so you can process, render, and refine your profile once you have reception or Wi-Fi.

Step 3

Manually build the profile

• Manual Data Entry can be completed without reception.
• Open each card and enter the data manually.
• Work through Metadata, Snowpack Layers, Temperature Profile, Stability Tests and Notes.
• You must select Top Depth, Bottom Depth, and one Hardness under Snowpack Layers. All other fields are recommended but optional.
• Load Sample shows an example of what a completed profile can look like.

Step 4

Review the plotted output

• After clicking Create Profile, the app will render your profile.
• Open the result to inspect, share, and print.
• Review the finished output, check the visual layer and test context before sharing or saving.

Step 5

Archive, share, and print

• In Archive, you can search any profile you created.
• After selecting a profile, you can edit it if needed.
• You can then preview, share, and print it directly from your phone.
