LabVantage support for mobile devices includes:
| • |
Mobile Start URLs can be defined for each User in the User
Profile of the User Maintenance page. |
| • |
The Web Page Designer provides a number of Resolution
Properties. These allow certain properties to have values that are
expressed differently based on the resolution of the screen at runtime.
This is extended by the GUI Policy,
which allows "GUI Modes" and a "Default URL" to be
defined. |
| • |
Additional configuration support for mobile devices is provided by:

The Field Collection
"App" is not actually a mobile app. It is merely a collection
of configured pages that provide a subset of functionality.
|
|
The Field Collection "App" is defined by a menugizmo called "MobileFieldMenu".
Use this URL to launch the functionality:
rc?command=page&page=Tramline%20Sitemap&gizmodefid=MobileFieldMenu
This launches the Mobile Field Menu:
Sample Collection is done through a Monitor
Group, which contains multiple related Monitor Samples (such as Samples
along a collection route).
The Monitor Group must be assigned to an individual. MonitorGroup assignment
is simply choosing a User who will perform the collection. This is typically
done using the desktop Web application by specifying the Assigned Collector
(see Monitor
Groups → Managing Monitor Groups).
The Collect Samples menu item opens the LV_MonitorGroupList page:
This shows the results of Monitor Groups that are assigned to be collected
by the current User. The Identifier, Label, and count of Samples are shown
for each Monitor Group. After selecting a Monitor Group, the User can use
the "Cancel" button to indicate that the Monitor Group will be cancelled
and not collected, or use the "Collect Samples" button to begin
collection. "Collect Samples" opens the LV_MonitorSampleList_Collection
page:
|
This executes the Query "By MonitorGroup" to show the uncollected
Samples of the selected Monitor Group, which is determined by Samples that
do not have a Collection Date. For each Sample, the SampleId, Ddescription,
and Location Path (from where the Sample is to be collected) is shown. After
selecting a Sample to collect, the User can use the "Mark Collected"
button to simply mark the current User and the Current Date/Time as the Collection
Date, or use the "Collect Sample" button to open the SampleCollectionAtrtibuteMaint
page (shown in landscape mode below).
For each Sample, this page shows the Collection Date and a Physical Condition
dropdown, along with any other columns that are required to be specified on
collection. After entering all mandatory values and Saving, the Sample is
collected. The Collected By column is then set to the current User.
After return to the LV_MonitorSampleList_Collection page, the Sample is no
longer shown, as that Sample now has a non-null Collection Date.
In general, Samples are generated by the Scheduler,
and associated with a parent Monitor Group. There is the occasional need to
request that addtional Samples be generated. This creates the "Additional
Samples" menu item to navigate the User to the Sample Point List page,
where the "Query By Location" finds all Sample Points under a selected
Location.
The User chooses one or more Sample Points to have their Schedule Plans executed,
then uses the "Create Samples" button to generate additional Samples.
Execution of the Create Samples button is shown below.
After a Sample is collected, it is sent to the laboratory and Received. Nominal
LIMS Data Entry can then be performed. However, there is the occasional need
to perform Data Entry in the field. The Field Collection Data Entry menu item
provides this capability.
To support this feature, the "Collection" Parameter
List Type identifies a Parameter List that is used for field Data Entry
(see Parameter Lists).
The Field Collection Data Entry menu item opens the MonitorSampleList_DataEntry
page, which is restricted to only Samples that have been collected by having
a non-null Collection Date column. The User can then add additional Tests,
or go directly into Data Entry by searching and selecting Samples, then invoking
either the Add Tests or Data Entry buttons.
The Add Test button opens a Lookup page to add a Test. Below is an example
of adding a Test that uses the Collection Parameter List Type.
The Data Entry button opens the Data Entry page. When running n a mobile device,
the Data Entry page presents only one Sample at a time. The User is free to
navigate from one Sample to the next before clicking Save&Release. The User
can also choose a different Sample by clicking the Sample Id, which then offers
a choice of Samples.
