Using Survey Components (Android Tablet)

The phxApp provides two options:

1. You can populate an existing list of items to be inspected (Components) into the provided template, load that list into the phxApp, record inspection results for each Component, and then export the records via email, or directly to your PC.
    
2. You can create the list of components “on the fly” while performing the inspections and email or export the records to your PC.

Confirm you have the following:

• Internet Connection
• Android tablet

Option 2: Create a list of Components on the Fly

ID Column

Must be a whole number, no decimals (decimal entry will not show Tag ID or any Tags that follow, whole number or not, beginning at the first decimal entry).

• Example: Entered in the examplefile.csv file 1, 2, 3, 7, 11.1, 8, 5.2, 6, 12
  Survey Comp. Grid 1,2,3,7, then blanks for the rest of the Grid.

ID Order

The IDs can be placed in any order, however, Survey Components reports consecutively and rearranges in the Grid.

• Example: ID entered in the examplefile.csv file 1, 2, 3, 7, 10, 8, 5, 6, 12
  Survey Components will arrange the associated Tag ID according to the ID in consecutive order 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 12 on the Survey Comp. Grid.
  
  ID values are not shown on the Survey Component Grid, but only in the examplefile.csv file.
