How are Work Templates structured?

A Work Template consists of Configurable Fragments (Group, Section and Fields) that are allocated into the appropriate Work Phase (Plan, Work and Complete).

Configurable Fragment

A fragment is a small detachable piece that is part of a larger whole. In Obzervr, a Fragment is a reusable and configurable object that is a part of Work Template.

Group Fragment

Group Fragment is the highest level fragment. When creating a Group, you have the following configuration options:

Group Name is limited to 100 characters
Identifier (ID) must be used if the Group Fragment is used in system integration and is limited to 100 characters.
Single/ Multi-occurrences that is either time or count based to enable the repetitive collection of data at different instances.
Time- Based groups allow you to set a number of occurrences, start time, and time interval (in minutes).
Count Based groups allow you to specify named occurrences and set the occurrences count.

Section Fragment

Section Fragment is the next level Fragment below the Group Fragment. When creating a Section, you have the following configuration options:

Enables grouping of Field Fragments.
Section Name is limited to 250 characters.
Identifier (ID) must be used if the Section Fragment is used in system integration and is limited to 100 characters.
Single Level. Multi-level Section (e.g. 1, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3,…) is not permitted.

Field Fragment

A Field is a fragment type used for data display and input capture.

Field Names are limited to 250 characters.
When creating a Field, you have the following configuration options:
- Mandatory: Enforce the completion of data input.
- Identifier: used for system integration.
- Types: Numeric, Text, Date, Time, Drawing, List of Values, etc.
- Helpers: Field Pre and Post Text and Help Text.
- Restrictions: Disable Comments, QR Codes and Expanding.
- Inline Photos: Used to display photos or instruction diagrams for reference.
- Attachments: Used to attached photos or PDF documents. PDF documents are limited to 5Mb.

Work Phase

Next in the hierarchy is the work phase. There are in total of three phases:

Plan phase - This Phase includes the activities to be performed by the users (workers) before the actual data collection work begins.
Work phase - this Phase includes the actual data collection blocks or groups.
Complete phase - this Phase includes the completion activities to be performed by the users (workers) such as Sign-off form or Handover forms.

All these Fragments and Phases are then encapsulated inside the Work Templates which can be attached to Assignments.

Next in the Tutorials about Work Template, we will discuss Fragment Templates - What they are, How to create them and How to utilize them in this article.
