First loop

This lesson walks one complete loop. When you finish, you have a record and you know where the rest of the app lives.

1. Set the project

1. Open the menu (top left).
2. Tap + New Project if you have none.
3. Enter a name. Pick a signal color if you want the project mark to match a job.
4. Save. The menu shows this project as active.

Later work files under the active project. Switch projects from the same menu.

2. Open a location

1. Open the Locations tab.
2. Create a location, or pick one on the map.
3. Name it for a place you will return to: a house, a station, a span.

Home shows last work and nearby locations. Locations is the list. The same tab has Assets for equipment.

3. Capture a reading

1. Open the Field tab.
2. Confirm the location at the top. Pick an asset if the reading is about a thing. Both are optional.
3. Choose Number.
4. Pick a kind (Voltage, Current, and the rest).
5. Type the value. Save it.

You can also speak the number, photograph a display, or use a phone instrument. See Capture.

4. Run a tool when you need a number

1. Open Tools.
2. Open a calculator.
3. Use Calc for inputs. Use Reference to read the formula.
4. Save the result. Attach a location or an asset if you have one.

A tool can take a Field reading you already confirmed.

5. Leave with a record

Open the location. You should see the capture and the calculation. That is the loop.

Forms, Records, and Trends live on the project in the menu when the job is a repeating sheet.

What Fieldeng does not do: pass or fail a structure, approve a design, or certify a standard. See Disclaimer.
