Starting a New Field Event

How to create and schedule events from the QNOPY mobile app and web portal

Overview

Events are how you record field data in QNOPY. You can start a new event directly from the mobile app in the field, or schedule one in advance from the web portal. Both methods are covered below.

Creating an event from the mobile app

Step 1 — Select your project

Open the QNOPY app and select a project from your assigned project list. You can also search for a project using the Search Project bar at the top. This takes you to the Events page for that project.

Step 2 — Start a new event

On the Events page, tap + Start New to begin a new event, or tap an existing event to continue working on it.

Step 3 — Select a form

Choose a form from the list of forms assigned to your selected project.

Don't see the form you need? The form may not be assigned to the project yet. Contact your project administrator or add it from the Forms tab in the Project Dashboard on the web portal.

Step 4 — Enter event details

Fill in the following:

• Event start date and time — Defaults to the current date and time but can be changed manually.
• Event end date — Optional.
• Event name — Optional. Useful for identifying the event later.

Step 5 — Begin data entry

Tap Let's Get Started to open the form and begin filling in your field data.

Scheduling an event from the web portal

Step 1 — Open the project

Log in at https://app.qnopy.com/portal/en/login, go to My Projects, and open the project you want to schedule an event for.

Step 2 — Go to the Events tab

Inside the project, click the Events tab and then click Schedule Event.

Step 3 — Select a form

Choose the form you want to use for this event from the dropdown. The dropdown will show all forms currently assigned to the project.

Don't see the form you need? Go to the Forms tab inside the project and assign the form first, then return to the Events tab to schedule your event.

Step 4 — Enter event details

Fill in the following:

• Event name — Give your event a clear, identifiable name.
• Scheduled date and time — Set when the event is taking place.

Step 5 — Advanced options

Click to expand the advanced settings to configure additional options:

• Assign location — Link the event to a specific location from your project's location list.
• Select timezone — Choose the timezone for the event if your team works across multiple regions.
• Repeat event — Set the event to recur on a schedule. When enabled, you can configure a dynamic naming pattern and set the total number of events to be created in the series.
• Send reminders — Toggle on to send reminder notifications to assigned users before the event.
• Reminder alert time — Set how far in advance the reminder should be sent.

Step 6 — Save the event

Once you've filled in all the required details and any advanced settings, click Save to schedule the event. It will appear in the Events tab and in the Calendar view on the My Projects page.
