All projects in Asite are 'Field' enabled by default. There are three new field related roles that are created in the project automatically, namely:

Field Administrator - Main administrator for defects and field manager, has privileges to upload drawings and calibrate them on web application. Users in this role will get 'Can Manage Project Field' role privilege by default.

Field Inspector - Is responsible for creating defects form using 'Adoddle Field' application on tablets and assigns them to field contractor.

Field Contractor - Is responsible for resolving the defects raised by the field inspector and marking their respective defect form status as resolved post resolving.

Here is how the defect process will work:

1. The field administrator uploads drawings and calibrates them on web application.

2. The field inspector creates defects and assigns them to the field contractor. The status of the defect form is set to 'Open'.

3. The field contractor corrects the defects and updates the defect form by changing its status to 'Resolved'.

4. The field inspector now checks whether the defects have been resolved to satisfaction. If the field inspector is satisfied, the status of the form is set to 'Verified'. Else the status is set to 'Open' and the defect is again assigned to the field contractor.
