Using the Events Dashboard in EarthRanger Mobile

Last Updated: June 09, 2026

The Events Dashboard is where you view, filter, and manage all Events created or synced on your mobile device. This article walks you through the dashboard's key features — Event status, search, drafts, and filters.
 

 

Events Dashboard

The Events list displays all Events created on this device by the logged-in user. If you have opted in to view shared Events, those will also appear here. See:  How to View Shared Events in EarthRanger Mobile


The app attempts to upload pending Events automatically whenever a connection is available.

 

 

Event Search

Tap the search icon to open the search bar and filter the Events list by keyword.

Event Status

Each Event in the list shows one of three statuses:

Pending Sync

 

The Event has been saved locally and is waiting to upload. This happens when you're offline, or if an upload attempt failed.

  • The Event remains editable — tap the row to open the latest draft and make changes.
  • Each time you visit the Events tab, the app will retry any failed uploads.
  • If the Event has uploaded successfully but still has attachments pending, it switches to read-only mode. The Event itself is no longer editable, but the attachment upload will complete when connectivity allows.

 

Draft

 

The Event was started but not submitted. Drafts let you pause mid-report and return to it later.

 

Tap a Draft Event to continue editing it.
When you're done, you can save your changes, discard the draft, or submit the Event.

Synced

 

The Event and all attachments have been submitted successfully to EarthRanger.

The Event's ID is shown in the list.


 
Synced Events open in read-only mode — fields, notes, images, and attachments cannot be edited.

Filter

When tapping on the Events list filter text/icon you will be presented with a view that allows you to filter by:

  • Status 
  • Date
  • Visibility 
  • Event Priority

 
Status

The Event list and the map will now display only Events with that selected statuses.
Date

Select a date and time to filter the Events list and Events on the map to reflect only the Events that occurred with in the time indicated.

Visibility

 

Indicates wherever the Events created by the login user should display over the map or only on the Event list in the dashboard.

When the eye is cross out no Event will display over the map. 
Event Priority

The Event list and the map will now display only Events with that selected priorities.
 

When a filter is applied to the Events list the filter section adds a badge with a numerical value indicating how many filters are being applied.
