1. Taking Photos
Taking a photo on the app
To take a photo at any time, simply click on the camera button in the bottom middle of the screen.
To find your photos, click on the paper clip iconto the right of the camera button. All your attachments will live there and be uploaded into your report when you're done collecting data!
What if I took a photo on my camera roll that I want to attach?
Luckily that's what our gallery button is for! Click on the gallery buttonto the left of the camera icon and it will allow you to pull any attachment from your photos.
2. The Draw Tool
The draw tool in QNOPY allows you to draw on a blank canvas, your photos, any pdfs you have uploaded, or your map view.
Once you've opened the tool, draw on the blank canvas or play around with any of the options in the upper right that you can draw on.
See example below of what happens when you click the map icon (far right), capture your coordinates, and then add some fun shapes and diagrams.
3. Using Locations and the Map
The location feature in QNOPY is extremely useful for forms like Soil Boring and Groundwater Monitoring. The map view allows you to see and search for any of your locations. You can mass upload locations on the web, or add them in on the app.
Picking a Location on the Map
The screen below depicts what it may look like when you log in. The icons to the left of the location name let you know if your location has a pin on the map yet: blue means yes, gray means no. Click on the icon to view the location on the map, or choose a location on the map.
Adding a new Location
To add a new location, just click on the plus button in the bottom middle of the screen. Then name and save your location. Follow the steps above to pinpoint the location on the map.
Viewing all your locations on the map
To view your locations, click the map arrow in the bottom left. You'll then be brought to this screen, where you can view all of your different locations and search them by name on the map.
Filtering your different Locations
In order to more easily access the locations you're looking for, you can use the filters to control which locations appear on your list. Click on the filter button from the locations page, as shown on the screen below:
You'll then get taken into this screen, where you'll see different filters are broken down and can be used to further specify location. Tap on which ever filter you want to apply.
Once you've selected a filter, a blue check mark will appear next to it. Just press "apply" and your locations will be filtered when you return to the main locations screen.
4. Using the Project Folder
The Project Folder allows you to access and attach different documents while in the app. You can upload your documents on the web portal before going out to the site.
There are a few different ways to access the project folder:
1. From the Home Screen
Click on the settings wheel next to your project name:
You'll see many different Project Settings here: forms, locations, users, etc. Scroll until you find the project folder tab, and click on it:
You'll then see your folders, where you'll be able to click in and access different documents such as Health and Safety Checklists, Site Maps, etc.
2. From the locations screen.
After clicking into the form, you'll see your locations page. In the upper right as pictured, you'll see the "files" button. Click there and then you will again see your folders and be able to click in and view different documents.
Can I draw on my Files?
Yes! Go to section 2 to learn about the draw tool and how to use it. Your project folder will be the leftmost option to select from on the draw screen.
5. Using Calculations
You can add calculations to any form in QNOPY- just let us know and we'll make sure it gets included in the form.
When you see a green summation symbol like the ones pictured in our groundwater form, tap on it to get your value automatically calculated for you.
6. Adding "multiple sets" in QNOPY
Adding a data set in QNOPY allows you to make multiple measurements and have your data formatted in a table in your report.
To add a new set, simply click the + button when you want to record a new observation. A new button will pop up that says "new set" for you to click.
You will notice after clicking it the page is blank. Enter your new observation in here. To navigate between sets, click on the arrows shown here:
7. Using drop-downs in QNOPY
Picking From Drop-downs
Drop-downs in QNOPY allow you to pick from a pre-made list of options and enter your own options in. To pick from the dropdown, press the field like so:
Once in the field, you'll see a drop-down list. Tap as many items as you want, then press the "done" button in the upper right to have them appear.
Add new options to the list
You can also add your own list options in. Type out your text and press the "done" arrow on your keyboard, then the done arrow in the upper right of the screen.
8. Adding additional notes in QNOPY
On some questions you may notice a dialogue box to the right of the answer. That allows you to enter additional notes. This comes in handy for things like yes or no questions, where you may want to offer a more detailed explanation.
Click on the box to the right of the question like shown below.
Then, hit save once you've typed something in to make sure it gets added to your form.
9. Settings Page and Contact Support
The settings page is a helpful resource if you run into any issues. To access this page, click the settings wheel on the bottom right corner of the home screen.
You'll then see this screen. The arrow indicates the contact support button, where you'll be able to reach an agent from the QNOPY support staff.
