Maintain Event Details¶

For each type of task, there’s a corresponding event form. These forms can be designed in NEXUS IC. For more information, see Configure Event Types.

You can fill details into the form as required. Note the following:

A red icon indicates that there is no value entered for a field that is required, or an invalid value is defined for the field (for example, the text is too long in an edit box).

You can clear a non-required field by tapping the clear icon.

If a field has a field help, you can view it by clicking the icon visible next to the field.

Tip

You can change the text size on event forms (and therefore how much of the form fits on your screen at once) in your tablet’s Settings, under Display & Brightness ‣ Text Size.

Change the Status of Tasks¶

After filling in all the required fields, you can mark a task as Completed (see Complete Tasks) or select an alternate status by clicking on the Status button and choosing an option from the drop-down list. The available options in the list will vary depending on your specific database configuration in NEXUS IC (see Task Status).

If you choose a task status other than Completed from the available options, the next time synchronisation is performed, the task status will be updated in the master database. This helps planners identify tasks that require further action, such as reassignment or updating. The task will continue to appear on your task list in IC-Inspector until it has been reassigned or marked as Completed.

Delete Ad Hoc Events¶

For ad hoc events, the Delete button is visible, which you can use to delete the ad hoc event from IC-Inspector.

Check Task Information¶

Tap on TASK INFORMATION to see details of this task (the asset name, event type, asset location, any task instructions, and any drawings directly linked to this asset). If any Configure Asset Information Groups is configured to be shown in IC-Inspector, it will be shown on this screen.

Note that the Task Instructions section is shown only if there’s actual task instruction data assigned to the task.

Add Multimedia¶

You can add multimedia files (for example, photos, drawings, sketches) to your event details. Tap the button to show a list of options. From here you can select Camera, Library, Drawings, or Sketch to import images. Any images you add will be shown in a banner along the bottom of the Event Details screen.

You can add multimedia in the following ways:

Tap the Camera button to take a photo.

Note: If you enabled it under Settings, photos are automatically saved to your tablet’s photo library when taking new photos.

Tap the Library button to select one or more pictures from your tablet’s photos library.

Tap the Drawings button to choose a drawing with layers linked to this task’s asset. If there are none available then this option will be disabled. The available drawings will be shown in a new window for you to select.

Tap the Sketch button to bring up a markup canvas. From here you can create a sketch using markup tools to be saved as an image to the Event Details.

Tapping an image on the Event Details screen shows you the image in full, where you can swipe between images and edit or mark up the image in view. For more information, see Edit and Markup Photos.

Bookmark Events¶

You can “bookmark” an event by tapping . The icon will change to . You can tap again to remove the bookmark.

Bookmarking is used for user-defined purposes, its purpose is defined by the requirements of your organisation. Its usual use is to flag events which require review, for example, checking grammar, checking that you are on the correct asset, sense-checking data recorded. You can also add text in the Notes field indicating the reason you have bookmarked this event. Bookmarked events will be flagged with a green star in NEXUS IC’s Event Listing.
