Getting clean field data starts with a good fix.
In QField you can activate an accuracy indicator, set your own bad / excellent thresholds, and even enforce accuracy so vertex creation is restricted when your GNSS fix is worse than the “bad” threshold.
Red = wait. Yellow = almost there. Green = go. -- seem familiar? ;)
