Add a Form Version when Creating a New Form

New Features

Issue # Description

77

Default Entries to Form from the Related Job or Ticket

  • When the Single Input question is added to a form, you can default an entry from the form’s Job or Ticket.

    This option is not available for Independent forms, as they are not tied to a job or ticket.
  • The Input Type selected for the question determines the fields available for the Default Formula.

    For example, if the Input Type is set to Date, only fields from the record that have a data type that is date related are available to select for the Default Formula entry.

  • When changing the Input Type, any existing formula in the Default Formula field is removed.

  • When a user adds a form, the value from the Job or Ticket populates to the form.

101

File Question Type

  • Form Designers can now add a File question type.

  • This type of question allows end users to upload a file to the survey, such as an image, a PDF, or a Microsoft Office document.

  • Files are added to the Files API in Salesforce.

  • Files can be displayed in FieldFX Mobile whether in online or offline mode.

  • If a user uploads a replacement file, a data trail remains in FieldFX Back Office in Form’s survey.json file attachment’s Version History.

Version 28 (Initial Release)

  • We have added a new way to manage what syncs to users' mobile devices

  • Use the Sync Configuration Wizard tool in the Admin Portal to create Sync Profiles.

  • Sync Profiles function for syncing in a way similar to how User Profiles function of permissions

    Sync Profiles only control what data syncs to the user’s mobile device.

    The user must still have access to the data from their profile, permissions set(s), sharing rules, and any sync configuration record(s).

    A record’s sync and AltSync flags must also allow the record to sync.

    If these settings do not grant access to the object, field, or record, the data does not sync.

  • Assign the Sync Profile to the field worker’s User Profile. A user can only be assigned one Sync Profile.

    This replaces the need to activate Sync V4 Config, as this option is included automatically in the Sync Profile.

    You need to add the Mobile Sync Profile field to the User object’s page layout first.
  • You can create multiple Sync Profiles to manage different types of users.

    For example, you might have one profile for the mobile sales team to work with Quotes, another for maintenance workers to complete FX EAM Work Orders, a third for field technicians working Tickets, and a fourth for managers or supervisors who need access to all of the above while in the field.

    One Sync Profile can work for multiple business segments, offices, or job crews when used in conjunction with Sync Configuration records.
