Overview:
Forms (similar to Datasheets in Workbench) are customisable templates that can be used to record data digitally out on job sites for things such as Daily Diary entries, meeting minutes, risk assessments, Equipment Pre-Starts, Site Inductions, SWMS, etc.
Workbench have a variety of pre-configured form templates that integrate into workbench transactionally, or assist you to drive business processes, transactional data, safety assessments and data any general capture digitally.
Adminstrator type users will have access to the form builder in Upvise, as well as any form settings.
Once a Form Template has been created by an Admin, other users can create forms using the template in Upvise.
When a Form is first created, it has a Draft status and appears in the Drafts section. On the mobile, Draft forms appear orange. Once a user has filled in the required values in the form, the form must be Submitted. Managers can see all the Forms that have been created by all users. Standard users can only see Forms they own.
When a form is created, information like the Date, GPS position and Owner are automatically stored.
Reminder: Standard users can access only the data they own, ie data items for which the Owner field is set to this user or the owner is unassigned.

Each new Form is created with an index or Form ID, which is the form number within the list of forms for a Template. The Form ID is incremented automatically and can be edited if the option "Allow Editing Form ID" is checked. Upvise allows sequening of forms by form ID + user prefix. Sequencing by user prefix will allow you to maintain unique form id’s whilst using Upvise, particularly when your device is not within mobile service. Upvise functions on a disconnected model to allow user’s flexibility out on the field in low mobile service areas. Whilst your mobile is out of range, Upvise allows you to capture data throughout the day to minimise operational impact. The data then syncs back to the cloud once you are back in an area of service. Turn sequencing by user prefix on in form options. |

You can edit form templates by navigating to forms, templates. Templates are organised by the Groups that have been set up in Form Options. To create a new Template, click the + icon in the top menu and provide a name for the template. Next, you are presented with a screen where you can add several types of information, beginning with Fields. Each field type has several options which will prompt for information from the person filling out the form. Most will require a Label, Position, Default Value, and the ability to execute Javascript code when a field is changed. You can also make certain answers mandatory or hidden. Configure the form, the name, control where the form will be Linked to in the Template info tab.
Field Types: Question - this can be any sort of yes/no/n/a question. Combo Box - this field type can be set to a specified list of options or based on several data types in Upvise such as , , , etc. Text Box - this expects a certain string of text to be entered as the response. Date Box - this expects a date to be provided. Photo - this allows a photo to be attached to the form directly from the user’s camera or library (depending on permissions).

The dashboard can be used to see a visual indicator for all Forms based on status, Staff, and even a Risk Matrix. Clicking on a chart segment can drill in to the detail of the selected item. For example, clicking on one of the bars in the Overview tab will take you to the Calendar view for that date range. |
