Status Type

Each question must be associated with a specific status loop. Selecting a type will determine what statuses are available to associate the question with.

Status

When a user enters a specific status, the question will appear on TrackIt Android. The status selected here will determine when the question appears in the loop.

Device users will always encounter the question upon entering the status.

Question

The question displayed on the device screen when entering the status is defined here.

We recommend always posing these as questions with the proper punctuation included so as to reduce the possibility of confusion in driver-entered responses.

Order

The placement of the question as it appears in the TrackIt Android is dependent upon its ordering. If multiple questions are associated with a single status, their orderIndividual requests for specific materials that are associated with a job.

  • Number without a decimal. Only whole numbers are allowed.
    • Number of Digits. The numeric response is constrained to this total digit count. For example, a 2-digit requirement means drivers cannot enter a quantity more than 99.
  • Number with a decimal. Numbers with fractional values are allowed.
    • Number of Integer Digits. The numeric response is constrained to this total digit count before a decimal is inserted.
