To perform activities in InField, you use checklists. Field workers can work on the checklists that are already added to the Checklists tab or create checklists from templates on the Templates tab. A checklist has a set of tasks where you add a status, such as OK, Not OK, or Blocked. You can also add images, videos, and observations for malfunctions you notice while working. For some tasks, you may also see fields for adding measurement readings and check items.

  • Select the search icon > Hierarchy to find equipment linked to the asset you’re working with.

​
Work offline

Field workers can complete operator rounds and work orders with slow or no network connectivity on their mobile devices. To work offline, open the checklist while you still have network connectivity. If you go offline, you can still complete tasks but you can’t access the asset explorer, upload media, and create observations. When you’re back online, all data collected offline will be uploaded.
To stop repetitive connectivity notifications, turn on airplane mode or ensure a steady network connection. To download data when offline, turn off airplane mode and wait until the data is uploaded. In the meantime, do NOT close the application or exit the checklist.
For a minimum required bandwidth, refer to Connectivity and bandwidth.
