Capture and post data using form

When your supervisor assigns you a form to do an inspection or collect the measurement readings, you as technician or plant personnel visit the functional location or asset, review the asset, and capture the data.

Use the Forms Dashboard module on the mobile application to capture the data in forms and post them for approval. From this module, you can do the following:
  • Review the forms assigned to you
  • Add new entries to the form
  • Save form as draft
  • Submit form

On a scheduled basis, you can create an instance (entry) of the form and post your observations. When working on your tasks if you identify an inconsistency, you can raise a Notification from the form. This feature can be enabled using RACE. See Trigger business object from form using validations section in the Configure mWorkOrder using RACE document.

To post data using forms:

  1. In the Home screen, tap Forms Dashboard.
  2. Tap the Add icon at the bottom of the screen.

    You can also slide the form template to the right and tap on the Add to create a copy of the form.

  3. In the Select Forms pop up window, tap the form you want to copy.
  4. In the form details screen, enter the details.
    • Tap the Instructions icon to view the instructions associated with the form.
    • Tap the More icon to view the History of Notifications created from the form. This option is available only if you created Notifications for the form.
