Placing an object records where it is. This is where you record what it is.
Every field you see comes from your organization's own setup. The names in this article are examples from one organization, and yours will differ.
Use your job to decide which fields are required at the pole, which are completed elsewhere, and what proves the form is complete. A field appearing in the form does not by itself make it a field requirement.
Opening one
Tap the object, then open its details.
Everything on this form is your organization's. Which fields exist, what they are called, which are required, and whether there is a photo slot at all. Two organizations using Cloneable can have forms with nothing in common.
By default, the app splits the form into two tabs, one for details and one for photos. That split is a setting you control, covered below.
What you will typically find
Its location, shown as latitude and longitude, with an option to update it. Useful when a pole was placed roughly and you now stand at it.
Pick lists, where you choose from options your organization set up.
Free text, for notes.
Whether you fill these in at the pole or leave them for the office depends on the kind of object and on how your organization works. Ask your supervisor which of them your organization expects your crew to complete in the field.
The form is yours to arrange
There is a display option on the form, and it is worth knowing about because it changes what you see:
Tabbed layout is on by default, and it is what gives you the two tabs. Turn it off and you get one continuous form instead.
Reordering fields lets you put the ones you use most at the top. Drag the six-dot handle beside a field to move it.
These are your own preferences, not your organization's. So your form can look different from your crewmate's while holding exactly the same fields. That is why nobody should ever tell you "it is the third field down": it depends on how you have arranged it.
If you fill in the same three fields on every pole, spend a minute reordering them to the top. It pays for itself in a day.
If a field says the type is not supported
You will occasionally see a field that says its type is not supported instead of letting you edit it.
That is not something you have done and not something you can fix. It means your organization has set up a kind of field this version of the app cannot display. Everything else on the form still works.
Tell your supervisor which field it was, so your organization can either change it to a supported kind or remove it. Do not work around it by putting the value in a notes field unless somebody asks you to, because it will not end up where anyone expects to find it.
