Classic Field Checklist Template Import Enhancements
To assist with the transition from BIM 360 Classic Field to Field Management, we are continuing to enhance the capabilities around importing your Checklist Templates from Classic Field to Field Management. In this release we added the ability to import the descriptions which were defined in Classic Field as supplemental information to the Checklist Template Sections and Items.
The following is a list of data we import from your Classic Field Checklist Template into Field Management:
- Checklist Template Name
- Section Description
- Item Name
- Item Description
- Response Types Supported:
- Yes/No/NA
- True/False/NA
- +/-/NA
- Pass/Fail/NA
- Text
- Checkboxes
- Multiple Choice
- Numerical
Checklist Management Enhancements – Workflow Based Changes to Edit-ability of Checklists
The ability to edit a Checklist’s header information such as title and scheduled date is now driven by the status of the checklist itself. This is also the case for changes such as the Checklist assignee as well as the individual section assignees. Once a checklist is complete, we no longer allow the header as well as assignee to be edited unless you decide to re-open the checklist. This change allows us to capture the exact information at the time the checklist was run and completed.
Is there likely to be a way to force a page break on checklist reports soon? It would greatly enhance readability of the reports and surely would be fairly simple to implement?
