Add Fields to an Audit Form

You may wish to add entirely new fields to the Equipment Audit table. You may wish to do so to collect a new type of data, such as an Last Serviced date. Or you may wish to add another validated field, such as the Insurance Policy Code (which validates against the Policy table).

When you add a new field to the survey table (such as the eq_audit table), make the corresponding change in the inventory table (the eq table) so that the data will remain consistent.

To add a new field to the Asset & Equipment Survey app:

1. Add one or more new fields to the Archibus Fields table.
2. Run the Schema Update Wizard to create the field or fields in the database.
3. Run the Manage Asset & Equipment Surveys task and use its Change Fields to Survey action to make the new field visible in the mobile application. The new schema information is transferred to the mobile device using TableDef objects during the synchronization process.
4. To have these fields appear in the Web Central tasks:

• Manage Asset & Equipment Surveys task. To have the field appear in the view, add your new field to the archibus/schema/ab-products/workplace/assets/mobile/ab-eq-survey-console.axvw file.
• Equipment Survey Paginated report. To have the field appear in the paginated report that you use to archive survey results, add your new field to the archibus/schema/ab-products/workplace/assets/mobile/ab-eq-survey-pgrp.axvw file. The field will appear when the supervisor uses the "Print" button from the console.
• Edit Survey Item pop-up. To have the field appear in "Edit Survey Item" pop-up when the user selects the "Edit" button, add your new field to the archibus/schema/ab-products/workplace/assets/mobile/ab-eq-survey-edit.axvw file
