One of the key features of AppCan Cloud is the ability to create and distribute (in real-time) ‘Data Collector’ apps to all, or a subset of all, field users that have already been setup within the system.

Upon selection of ‘APPS’ from the menu bar, a multi-functional data grid is displayed that allows users to easily review, manage and distribute both ‘Data Collector’ apps’ as well as Document Distribution’ apps to field users.

To access the record options:

Apple

Swipe from right to left to show record options

\"\"

Android

‘Tap & Hold’ a record to displays the record options.

\"\"

Email

‘Email’ enables the user to email the record, as long as email has been setup on the device.

After selecting ‘Email this record’, the contents of the record and embedded in an email, ready for sending to the recipient.

You can only email a record that has been submitted to the portal. This is indicated with a green cloud icon.

Copy

On AppCan XP, you can copy an existing submitted record to a new record, copying across data from fields setup as  ‘Smart Copy’ fields.

Please note: The ‘Smart Copy’ functionality is only available for Data Collector apps where at least one ‘Smart Copy’ field has been assigned.  If no ‘Smart Copy’ fields have been assigned, the user will not be given the option to ‘Copy this record’, after a tap and hold.

For help on setting up Smart Copy fields, please click here.

After copying a record, you will then see a ‘red cloud’ record, with the data fields copied across into the new record.  Complete the new record and submit.

Remove

Although submitted records (in green cloud status) are removed from the device after 30 days, we have now included a ‘Remove’ option.

This enables you to remove the record from the device if you don’t need the record on your device any longer, to keep your record list tidy.

Please note: records removed from the device are not deleted on AppCan Cloud, and still available for analysis / reporting etc.  If a removed record is updated in AppCan Cloud, the record is synced back to the device with any changes applied.

During data capture of a record, and before ‘Submit’ is selected, you can select the ‘Back’ button. This will prompt the user to either Save or Exit the record.

Exit Only: If you select ‘Exit Only’, the record will not be updated with any changes, and the user is returned to the Submission List.

Save & Exit: This allows the user to partially complete the record, and return to complete the record at a later date. On the Submission List, the record will show a red cloud to indicate the record has not been submitted. You are able to delete the record by swiping from right to left and selecting ‘Delete’. When returning to complete a partially submitted record, any mandatory fields are highlighted for ease of record submission.

We have built in new ‘Data Recovery’ functionality, to prevent loss of Data Collector records.

This message should never appear if the record has been closed in a controlled manor, but could occur, for instance, if the device was powered down before a record was submitted / saved, or switching to another application without exiting the record submission.

Clicking on ‘Load’ will restore the record, and clicking on ‘Abandon’ will delete the record.

In the ‘Submission List’ you can search for records by entering text in the ‘Search’ field. This will search all records on the device, limited to the heading data.
