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

Konect App

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.

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.

Known Faults 

If an existing record has a default value defined for a field and that field is null or empty (this can happen from imports or hidden fields + variants), the default value is applied to that field when the form is opened.

A list of which fields had been modified is displayed at the top of the form.

Numeric list fields are no longer supported

The numeric fields 'whole number' and 'number' can no longer have a list associated with them as such lists caused queries to fail.

Existing forms with numeric list fields will continue to function as before. When such forms are accessed in the Konect Manager forms editor, a dialogue box asks the user whether they want to convert the numeric list field to a text list field.

If the user selects 'No' the form will not be changed. If the user selects 'Yes', the field will be changed to a text list field. In this case it is recommended that the dataset be exported to a CSV file and then imported to ensure that all the data in the field is textual and not numeric. Only the affected field needs to be exported in the dataset.

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.

This happens in the following way:

1. Open a form
2. Scroll down on the form.
3. Close the form.
4. Open the same form again
5. The form is in the last location scrolled to (on the previous form) - it has not scrolled to the top of the form.

Consider the following scenario:

1. Two non-Konect TAB files are imported into Konect by Konect Manager. One TAB file contains parent data and the other TAB file contains child data.
2. After the importation the child dataset is linked to the parent dataset in Konect Manager.
3. The two datasets are then exported so that the parent konect Id can be inserted into the 'Parent Id' field of the child dataset.
4. However, the two fields 'Parent Id' and 'Parent Table' are not in the exported child dataset.
