NOTIFICATIONS – my client wants to receive automated notifications of particular data events. The Konect User Guide (4.7.1) shows how to send a text to users. Is there a way to send data-driven alerts? (alternative is to do it in Power BI).

Sure – the client operates a fleet of machinery to carry out field tasks. There’s a variety of forms relating to tasks, staff and machines.

I’m interested in this too – to be able to change colours by query or rule. An option is to port the data to Power BI and set it up there.

While you can only have pseudo thematics based on list values, there is a work around using queries and individual styles. A common example of this is where we have a text calculated field tracking a range of activities at a site and the calculation returns a value of Proposed, Started, Partially Completed and Completed. In this case a style is…Read More

Hi @petew. An excel template is what I have used for implementations I have worked on to plan a system before building.
At a high level what I can share are the field names in the excel template I used. By creating 1 tab in a spreadsheet per dataset, created 3 columns in a spreadsheet. These were
– Field Name
– Form Data Type
– Values…Read More-

Thanks Matt. I’ve been using Visio for modelling tables, keys and flows, before starting a build. Could you email me an Excel example please?

When working in difficult GPS reception, e.g. a tree canopy, what are favourite ways to boost reception? Garmin GLO 2 GPS is very cost effective – has anyone got experience with it? Any other suggestions?

Hi Pete, thanks for posting regarding this. Can you provide an example of the data event that may occur on the client side? Let me know and I will seek to provide a more detailed response.
