FX DataGuide Overview

Introduction

FX DataGuide is a tool to create forms, surveys, and questionnaires for users to complete. The forms can be connected to a particular job or ticket, or they may be independent forms not connected to a particular record.

The module must be installed, setup, and configured in Back Office. Once that is completed, a form must be created to use in FX Mobile by a mobile user. DataGuide forms can also exist in the Back Office to be completed by a Back Office user.

You can also have FX DataGuide Forms be completed in either FieldFX Back Office or in FieldFX Mobile.

For more information on the differences between running ServiceMax DataGuide under ServiceMax and under FieldFX, see ServiceMax DataGuide vs. FieldFX DataGuide.
