In the previous tutorials, we created a workbook to check building safety standards and upgraded it to include a follow-up field for recording details of safety violations. However, there may be cases where you need to repeat a specific section of questions, or even whole chapters or checklists. For instance, in our building inspection workbook, you may need to check the safety standards for multiple floors, rooms or areas.
Content types define a set of fields that can contain all kinds of data (for example building names, addresses, dates, numbers, images etc.).
Used Blocks
This guide introduces you to the very basics of the iCL products. It is a good starting point if you want to get started with our system. Before you can start an inspection, you need a workbook to work with. This tutorial walks you through the process of creating a new workbook from scratch, providing a basic understanding of the most important elements of a workbook as well as showing a few best practices.
Until now, you learned how to create workbooks that can be used to start inspections from scratch. This way, however, users will have to keep track of what inspection is to be done and when.
In this guide we will show you how you can effectively work with plans.
In the iCL system, data is stored in content items which are defined through content types. This guide will walk you through a basic scenario for creating and working with a simple content type.
Plan features in the Filler
The translation extension offers the possibility to change the question titles of a workbook in the iCL Designer.
In this guide, we'll be discussing how to upgrade an existing workbook to a newer version.
How to add a content type to a workbook
This is the second part of our plans guide. In the first one we prepared a workbook and a content type that allow us to load a building into our checklist and specify a plan for it.
Scripts in iCL Designer provide a variety of ways to change answers dynamically, restrict visibility, perform calculations, and more. At the same time, scripts are very approachable, as you do not need to have programming skills to use them, although it doesn't hurt to have some. This is achieved by using Blockly, a powerful script tool that allows you to define scripts similar to assembling a puzzle.
In the previous tutorial, we learned about content types in general. We created a content type building to represent buildings in the iCL system. Now, we want to take the next step and introduce a new content type called "defect". By creating a defect_ content type, we can effectively track and manage issues or defects that may arise in buildings.
