Forms & Checklists

Text Input

Allows users to capture text within a Mobile Page. Text Inputs can be one of 3 types: Text Input, Number Input, Password Input

View Text

Text Component is a read-only field that contains the text. For example, the Titles and Headers for all pages make use of this component. The text can have different alignments - Left, Right, Center, and Justified.

The Header and Paragraph Text components support Tap to Call / Email / Go to URL. Through this feature, numbers, email addresses, and URLs are highlighted. Tapping on these highlighted fields redirects a user to the phone's native phone calling, email application, or browser, respectively.

Absolute Date and Time Input

Absolute date and time components are useful when you want to show the same date or time at any timezone. Apart from this feature it works and looks the same as the input date or input time component. It is helpful when a few team members are in different timezone(s) but want to see the exact time or date

Date and Time Input

This component captures the date and time. Tapping on it brings up a calendar and a clock popup. It would display both the date and time in the input field. The time specified in the component configuration must be in the UTC Time zone. The time displayed to the user will be in the corresponding timezone and locale of the user's device.

Time Input

This component captures time only (without date). When a user clicks on this component, it displays a clock where the user can enter a time and specify if it’s AM / PM. The time specified in the component configuration must be in the UTC Time zone. The time displayed to the user will be in the corresponding timezone and locale of the user's device.

Date Input

When a user clicks on this component, it displays a calendar where the user can select a date. When you only want to capture the date, use this component

Buttons

Divider

The Divider component acts as a partition between different sections of a mobile page. It appears on the screen like a horizontal line.

Data Grid

You can also configure the text color of a field, color indicators for statuses, and color tags that give the text in a particular cell a background color. These formatting capabilities allow you to highlight important data visually so technicians have an easier time focusing on what's important.

Dropdown

Dropdown Component allows mobile users to select a value from the list of options on a mobile page.

Radio (Single Select)

The Single Select Radio Buttons allow users to select only a single option from a list of options. It is good to use it when there are only a few options available for the user to choose from.

NEW (23.9)

Color Coded Selection: Radio buttons can also be configured to assign a color code to each answer option using the color selector (or entering a HEX code). Tying a color code to an answer choice can sometimes make it easier/faster for technicians to make a selection.

Single-Select (from a list)

This component enables users to select single items from a given list. For example, if a technician needs to select parts used to complete a task, he or she can view the list of parts and click the radio button beside the required part.

Document Viewer (PDF / 3D Models)

Saving Pictures to your Phone’s Photo Gallery: By default, photos taken in the field are now stored to your phone’s photo gallery for access later on.

Multiple Media Component

The MultiMedia component is designed to cater to the requirement of having multiple photos or videos. For example, if there is more than one photo required on a page then we need to add 5 or more photo components. We may make the first photo component required and others can be optional. This use case can be better handled using multiple components. We can provide multiple components with a photo component. Users can add any number of photos to it.

Photos taken as part of a task can be geo-tagged (capturing the lat/long of the location where the photo was taken) and time-stamped for audit purposes.

Photo Markup and Annotation

This feature is useful in cases like patrolling or segment Maintenance Tasks when a Technician is expected to walk along a particular segment and check the status at multiple defined points along the way. You can also use the component to present other geospatial data such as inventory locations, other points of interest, etc to a technician.
