Property Box

The font and label control settings in this section control the look and feel of the form by allowing the user to specify text font, size and colour for both the control’s label and contents.

Font colour and sizes are supported in most cases but alternate font types are not.

Note: Setting the background colour for a Form's property will set the background colour for all new pages. However, you can change the background colour for the individual pages by setting the background colour in the relevant pages' property boxes.

Clicking the (drop-down) button displays the colour pallet, allowing you to select the required colour from the relevant tab on the pallet.

Tip: To reset a colour, select the Control colour from the System tab on the pallet.

You may add hyperlinks to the label if you wish to have a link to a website on the report (for example, a web map).

For this, type a full HTML path into the box.

Note: The hyperlink will be visible or accessible on the report, not on the form.

Default - The text and its background colour (if any) are placed at the top of the label area.

Top - The label is placed at the top of the label area, and its background colour (if any) covers all of the label area.

Center - The label is placed at the center of the label area, and its background colour (if any) covers all of the label area.

Bottom - The label is placed at the bottom of the label area, and its background colour (if any) covers all of the label area.

Mandatory - Marks the selected field as mandatory at report completion time.  Such fields are easily identifiable on the report by the icon and must be filled in before the report is completed.

Omittable - Forces the user to enter a value, but unlike Mandatory allows the user to select Omitted as the value. Doing so satisfies the validation when completing a report.

This value applies to combo box, list box, numeric, and text field types.

When used for numeric and text fields on Windows clients, the field is displayed as a combo box: users can type numbers or text into it as usual, or can alternatively select a single list value of Omitted.

When used for numeric and text fields on Android clients, an additional Omitted check box is added to the control. If checked for a numeric field, the value -3276 may appear in the field. This refers to the short integer minimum value that is passed to InfoAsset Manager and can be ignored.

For combo boxes and list boxes, the value Omitted is added to the list as the first item.

Associated with one button on the form, defines the action to be undertaken when reports based on the form are completed.

Click the ellipsis button (ellipsis) to select the button to associate to the completed action. The Completed Action dialog is displayed.

The associated button will be automatically invoked when reports based on this form are completed or saved and completed. This functionality can be used to automatically launch reports on completion of associated reports.

Form description.

The platform that the form can be accessed from. This option can only be changed if the Application Platform is set to All. Choose one of the following options from the drop down list:

• All (default) - the form will be available on both a Windows and an Android platform. The Designer toolbox will consist of a Default and an Android tab. The Default tab toolbox items can be used to create a form that will be used on a Windows operating system (see Note below). The Android tab toolbox items can be used to create an Android version of the Default form but with content and a layout that may be more suitable for display on an Android device.

  Note: If the form platform is set to All, but an Android version of the Default form has not been created, then if a user connects to InfoAsset Mobile from an Android device, then the same Default form and dynamic data (if applicable) 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.

• Windows - the form will be available on Windows platforms only. The Designer toolbox consists of a Default tab which contains all the items required to make the Default form that can be viewed and edited on a Windows device.
• Android - the form will be available on Android platforms only. The Designer toolbox consists of a Default tab which contains all the items required to make a Default form that can be viewed and edited on an Android device.
• Tip: Administrators and System Administrators can bypass any form platform restrictions using the Ignore platform restriction command on the System page.

Title of all the reports that will be using the current form as a template. Reports are identified by their titles in the Saved and Completed tab of the Report View.

It is possible to use dynamic data to make up a report title (click on the ellipsis button to the right of the field - ellipsis). Please refer to the practical examples for an illustration (collection network and distribution network).

Title of the current form. Forms are identified by their title in the New tab of the Report View.

The distance (in system units) between a user and an asset that the user must be located within in order to complete a report when, for example, an asset is being surveyed.

Deleting a specified GPS Restriction Distance will reset it to the default, which is set in the Application dialog.

Automatically set when a report has a closed status (This ties up with the Closed flag in InfoAsset Manager).

Read-only system property.

Automatically set when a report is completed status (This ties up with the Completed / Resolved flag in InfoAsset Manager.

Read-only property.

Setting this to False will result in the defined flag not being added to null fields when importing into InfoAsset Manager.

Default is True.

An overriding flag to be used when importing data into InfoAsset Manager from this form. Three alphanumeric characters maximum.

For example, if a user specifies "MS" in the form, then every field imported into InfoAsset Manager will have a flag of "MS".

Network object associated with the form. This setting gets populated when the form is saved for the first time.

Read-only property.

Indicates that the current page is to be used as an outbound form for automated exports from InfoAsset Manager.

These timed exports look at the latest commit version in InfoAsset Manager. When there are changes:

• either existing linked InfoAsset Mobile reports are automatically updated
• or a new InfoAsset Mobile report is automatically generated for every form with an InfoAsset Outbound value of True.

Once a form based on an InfoAsset Manager object that has an InfoAsset Outbound field set to True is saved and published, reports from new or updated objects in InfoAsset Manager can be created by the InfoAsset Mobile server.

Note: From a procedural point of view, the form must be saved prior to the InfoAsset Outbound field being set to True as this field cannot be set if the associated network object (InfoAsset Object field, described above) is not known.

Validation

Validation is performed by InfoAsset Mobile to ensure that only oneform is set as a template for an InfoAsset Manager object for the same network(s) (See Networks property below for forms and Networks property of applications for more information):

• within the current applicationat formsaving time. If validation fails, a warning message is displayed. Show message



• across all applications at publishing time. If validation fails, a warning message is displayed. Show message

In both cases, click on OK to close the warning message and amend the relevant forms.
