Application Setup

Application server settings

To start using you application, please go to Settings and fill in the Account information:

A valid server URL must be provided. You do not enter credentials at this stage, as the application does not store user name and password.

After saving the settings you will be redirected to a login page that is delivered by your application server. A login will be handled either by using internal user database, LDAP connection or

federated login like ADFS. When using a federated login, application will not store your credentials. 

Other settings

Mobile application will use majority of your settings common for the desktop application. Some settings are specific to a mobile client, and they can be set in Other tab:

• Lock label field in List View - enables a mode where a List View is split into two columns. When split mode is used, first column will always contain object type indicator (Normal, attachment, drawing)

  and a label column. The second part of the List View will contain all remaining columns. When this option is turned of, a classic List View with all columns scrollable both vertically and horizontally will be used. 

• Dark mode - use this option to enable or disable dark theme.

Manage objects

To manage objects start with Explorer. Explorer is using Tree view to display basic structure of objects like Property, Building, Floor and Spaces or Equipment. 

At the same time a List View can be used to get detailed view of connected objects, like documents, rooms or equipment. 

Navigation tree

A view below demonstrated a typical Tree structure with a Floor object selected ("20").

When object is selected, a number of options become available. 

Editing and adding new objects

The first plus sign icon allows you to create new objects.

Tree View

List View

 Please note, that object will be deleted with subtree, using a context perspective that describes what objects to look for. 

Depending on the system settings, this can be just the Tree View objects, or also Documents or other objects available in the List View. 

Searching

A Quick Search is available for both Tree and List views. Each of them is limited to object types available in given perspective.

If searching from within a list view, a tree view will also be synchronized to reflect a parent of the found object. (e.g. a Floor for document)

Viewing documents

Users can view objects or documents in several ways. The view function is triggered by using eye icon located at the bottom of Tree and List view.

The outcome depend on the object selected for viewing:

• If you have selected an object like room

  • If this room has a spot on a drawing, this drawing will be loaded and a room will be highlighted

  • If this room does not have any spot linked, no view will be available. 

• If you have selected a Floor

  • If it has a default document, it will be loaded, if not, no view will be presented

  • Otherwise, select List View to browse available documents. 

• If you have selected a Document, this document will be always loaded (the same applied to attachments)

 These object types are used only for easier reference. The same rules apply regardless of the type used.
