Application dialog

Application current version number (read-only).

Description of the application. Default is blank and this property is optional.

In order to optimise the download and upload of data and to streamline the usability of the application, the platform used by the application can be set to one of the following:

• All (default) - the application will be available on Windows and Android platforms.
• Windows - the application will be available on Windows platforms only. A message will be displayed informing you that all Android versions of the Default forms will be deleted.
• Android - the application will be available on Android platforms only. A message will be displayed informing you that all Android versions of the Default forms will be deleted.

The setting of the application platform will effect the form platform setting. If the application platform is set to Windows or Android, then the form platform is set to the same. The Default form will only be available on the selected application platform. However, if the application platform is set to All, then you will be able to choose which platforms can be used by forms within that application.

Note: If the application platform is set to All, and an Android version of the Default form has not been created, then when users connect to InfoAsset Mobile from an Android device, then the same application, forms and dynamic data are downloaded to the Android device as would be downloaded to a Windows device. This could result in data being downloaded to the Android device that may not actually be required and, consequently, the download taking longer than necessary.

Tip: Administrators and System Administrators can bypass any application platform restrictions when they are logging in using the Ignore platform restriction command on the System page of the Login dialog, or of the System page in the main product when they have already logged in.

This property allows the user to set up the default user level that a user must belong to, or be lower than, in order for the GPS Restriction Distance to be applied when a report is completed.

The default can be set to one of the following options:

In this dialog, users can specify if the conversion is to be set for the application as a whole (therefore, all related formsand reports) or if the decision of system to convert to is left to the user in the field, at run time.

Default is blank. If the GPS conversion is set at application level, on the GPS Setup dialog, the GPS Settings property will take the value of Set.

Default is Off.

If set to a time interval, the location of field client devices will be tracked. This will use the system location or a GPS device (if available) to track the location.
