Konect App is now available for Windows 10

Konect App is now available for devices running on Windows 10. Previously Konect App ran only on iOS and Android devices. It should be noted that in referencing Windows 10, we are only referring to the Windows 10 and Windows 10 Mobile operating systems and not Windows Phone which has been phased out. The Konect App can be downloaded from the Windows Store - it is best to search for "Windows Store Konect" in your browser and link from an appropriate search result.

Konect App

Changed user interface and form navigation

The user interface has been modified to make the interaction with datasets in relationships more intuitive. The most significant change is that when a record is saved, control is returned to the 'Related Items' tab (previously referred to as the 'Child Records' tab) allowing another related record to be chosen or created.

Konect Manager

Last saved values

There is a new setting for a field called 'Use last saved value'. This setting allows for new records on the client device to automatically inherit the previously entered value for a field. This feature enhances productivity when the values of most fields in a record do not change in new records.

Konect Manager

List Management - items in child lists are now displayed with their associated parent list value

Whenever the list items of a child list are displayed in Konect Manager, the 'Parent Unique Value' of the child list item is also displayed in addition to the 'Unique Value' and 'Display Value' .
The three values are displayed for child list interactions in the list editor (Catalogue > Lists) or in the form builder (Catalogue > Datasets). This allows recognition of missing or non-unique parent values when importing lists from CSV files.

List Management - introduction of a list export function

To facilitate editing of existing list values, particularly for parented lists, lists can be exported from Konect Manager to CSV files. This applies to parent and child lists. The exported CSV files can be edited and then re-imported to update the list or create a new list. The exported CSV contains a header row that will be recognised and accepted during re-import.

• For a parent list, two fields are exported - 'UniqueValue' and 'DisplayValue'
• For a child list, three fields are exported -  'ParentUniqueValue', UniqueValue' and 'DisplayValue'.

Konect Manager

List Management - introduction of a list import function that allows overwriting an existing list

There are now two import options when importing a list from a CSV file - 'Create a new list' or 'Overwrite an existing list'.  In previous versions when a child list required editing the list had to be deleted (Catalogue > Lists). On re-import the list then must be re-attached to all required fields in all required Datasets. 
The new overwrite on import option means that a list can be updated while it is in place. This means that lists do not require re-attachment to List fields.
Caution:  Some issues with the 'Overwrite List' function are known as at release date. It is recommended that if lists with Parent-Child relationships require updating, then overwriting existing lists should only be done if 'DisplayValues' are to be updated. If lists in parent-child relationships require 'Unique Values' to be updated, it is recommended that all lists in the relationship are exported, edited, validated, re-imported and then re-attached to the relevant fields in any affected datasets.

Complex visibility rules for a field

Visibility rules for a field now allow the selection of multiple list values across multiple fields in a Dataset. For example - (Asset Type = "Bridge" OR "Culvert") AND (Priority = "Urgent" OR "Very High" OR "High").

Data can be included in KPK export files

When a project is exported to a KPK file, the data in the project's datasets can optionally be included in the KPK file. Correspondingly, when the KPK is imported into another account, the data in the datasets is also imported.
This facility gives users a way to duplicate Projects or Datasets and share or move them between users. For example "User A" can give "User B" a project which is imported into the "User B" account. "User B" can then add or edit data within the Project which can subsequently be exported to a KPK file and given back to "User A" who can then import it and update the original project.

Additional example Projects (KPK packages)

Additional package templates have been added to the package library. Konect Manager provides access to example project packages that contain complete workflows including dataset definitions, forms, lists and project definitions.
The packages can be used as a template for workflows or they can be modified and enhanced to better reflect your own processes.

Konect Manager

Project Information button and Save Location button added to the Projects definition screen

Two additional features have been added to the Project building window (Catalogue > Projects). There are now three buttons on the status bar at the bottom of the window:

1. Home - returns the project to its default (saved) map location and zoom level
2. Project Information - presents a detailed summary of all Datasets in the Project allowing the user to quickly validate any component of the project 
3. Save Location - allows changes to the map home location and default zoom level to be saved. Previously users had to interact with the Dataset listing to enable the Save button.

Numeric fields lose their value when the user clicks into another field

When a number is entered into a number field using the keyboard, the value is retained when another field is subsequently selected. Previously the value would be replaced by zero.

Konect Manager

Default values for numeric fields can be out of limits

If a numeric field (whole number or decimal number) is allocated a default value AND there are limits on the value of the field, then the default value must lie within those limits. If limits have been set, the form cannot be saved until the default value is within limits.

'Limits' settings applied to numeric fields do not work correctly:

• Records can be saved when out-of-limit values have been entered
• No warning is issued to indicate that the entered values are out-of-limits
• Out-of-limit values are replaced by the closest limit value

All issues to be rectified.

Keyboard covers bottom of image during text annotation on iOS devices

While a text annotation is being added to the bottom of a photo on an iOS device, the keyboard covers the text annotation and the user can't see what they have written until they save the edit.

Incorrect value when second summary field is a photo field

If a summary field is a photo field, long sets of characters are inserted into the summary area rather than the number of photos. To avoid this fault do not use photo fields as summary fields.

Default list value behaviour does not occur when a field is made visible

When a list field has a visibility rule applied it should have the following behaviours:

• Hidden - the field doesn't present in the form and the default value is not populated into the database
• Visible - the field presents in the form and the default list value is populated

Fails to recognise missing double quotes when importing a list from a CSV file

If a comma is part of a value in a CSV file (eg big, red circle), then that value must start and end with double quotes (eg "big, red circle"). If such a value is missing a double quote, Konect Manager does not notify the user that the CSV file is invalid when importing a list, it simply fails the import

Konect Manager

Edits to an existing parent list with dependent child lists breaks the relationships in the dataset form

When editing an existing Parent List with a dependent child list/s (Catalogue > Lists), new values can be added or existing 'Unique Values' edited and saved. This will break the parent-child relationship in the form - the child list related to the default parent list value is always displayed irrespective of the parent value chosen. The user should not be able to edit a Parent List with dependent Children. A warning message informing the user should be displayed.

Incorrect error message when photo import can't locate a photo file

When importing photos, Konect Manager looks for photo files in the same folder as the CSV file and in a subfolder called 'Photos'. If a particular photo file can't be found, there is no indication to the user as to what the problem is. The error message simply says that there was an upload failure.

Attempting to import a list with an incorrect number of columns fails but does not report what the issue is

When attempting to import a list from a CSV file with an incorrect number of columns, the import screen displays "No results loaded". An error message should be displayed informing the user that the CSV structure is incorrect. The current expectation is:

• Two column format is recognised as a potential Parent List
• Three column format is recognised as a potential Child List

No warning about losing changes when setting default for a Date field or a Numeric field

The user is not prompted to save the dataset following either of the following:

• Turning the default setting on or off for a Date field
• Entering a new or editing an existing default value for a Numeric field
