To simplify user management in large systems, is there a way to group users, so they can be assigned to a project in one go?

In Konect Manager, is there a way to print out a list of all the data fields, with type (and perhaps other parameters)?

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).

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.

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. You can run a routine report, say weekly, to plan servicing, but let’s say a machine breaks down and needs repair. This is recorded on the form and should trigger an alert to the workshop.

@mattgbm or others, any update on this? Could an alert be created in the API? It can be done in Power BI, but my client has not set this up yet.

We have settled on using the API and a Python script in conjunction with a messaging service like Twilio. This is being done in one Konect instance we are aware of, using Power Automate.

Hi Pete. Thanks for the insight, this sounds like a good approach to trigger the alert making use of the Konect API

System planning – would anyone like to share how they plan out a system before building it? An Excel template? A modelling tool such as Visio or Lucid Chart?

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?

Answering myself, User Groups can be set up, but the feature needs to be switched on for the account:
