Settings

On the Settings screen, you can define various settings for the usage of IC-Inspector.

Server Settings

Under Server Settings, you can control whether you want to use IC-Inspector with demo or real data.

If you would like to try IC-Inspector with demo data, tap the Use demo data switch. Note that using demo data will erase any local data currently in the app.

If you are planning to use real data, enter your server name and credentials, then tap Connect&Save. For more information, see Logging In to IC-Inspector.

Note

  • If you change user credentials, the previous user’s data (for example, tasks, events) will be cleared, and the new user’s data will be loaded from the server.

  • Ensure that the account you use has an IC-Web Read/Write license in NEXUS. If it does not have this license, you will not be able to synchronise your work back to the server. You get the message “This account has a readonly license.”

Clearing Data

If you tap Clear Data, it erases all the data stored on your mobile device, including any task and event data, photos or configuration data.

General Settings

Under General, you can customise how specific screen areas are displayed in IC-Inspector. You can make settings as follows:

  • Workpack Display Name lets you control how workpack names are displayed in IC-Inspector. You can choose to display by Workpack Name, Abbreviation, or a combination of both.

  • You can specify whether you want sections to appear collapsed by default using the Sections Collapsed by Default toggle. If you enable this option, the list of tasks under a grouping header will appear collapsed by default, else, all the tasks under a header will be displayed.

  • If you enable the Save Captured Photos to Photo Library option, photos will be automatically saved to your iPad’s photo library when taking new photos.

  • You can set up a colour for distinguishing ad hoc tasks and events and select the required colour using the Ad Hoc Tasks Colour and Ad Hoc Events Colour options. These colours will be applied for the relevant rows of the ad hoc tasks and events in the task list view. By default, no colour is applied.

Synchronisation

Under Sync, you can make settings related to or check the process of synchronisation. This includes the following:

  • The Remove Completed Tasks During Sync switch controls whether no-longer-available tasks remain on your tablet. (They may be no longer available either because someone has removed them in NEXUS IC, or because you have completed them.)

  • Upload Completed Tasks allows you to upload completed task data to the NEXUS IC database. This is a one-way synchronisation that uploads completed task data (events) but it does not retrieve any new tasks from the database.

  • View Last Sync Log allows you to check, download or share the log of the last synchronisation. This is useful for debugging purposes.

  • Using View Stored Data (only available on iPad), you can check all the data stored in the IC Inspector database on your tablet. This is also useful for debugging purposes.
