View Forms Distribution in 'Field' tab

Asite provides different view for forms distribution within 'Field' tab, as a separate sub tab.

Field form distribution view lists all the distribution on defect forms for the projects that user is involved with. Tasks assigned to the logged in user will be hyperlinked under the recipient task column corresponding to the transmittal record, allowing the user to complete their task by clicking on the same.

Below are the steps to be followed for completing tasks through the forms distribution view in 'Field' tab:

1. Forms distribution view contains record of every defect form distribution along with the 'Message ID' and the relevant information like 'Form Title', 'Recipient Name', 'Recipient Task', 'Recipient Org', 'Task time', 'Task status', etc.

2. The recipient task column will display the task assigned on the form for the corresponding recipient.

3. Click on the form id or form title to open the concerned form in form viewer.

4. Click on the recipient name to view details of the recipient.

5. Being a logged in user, you can complete the tasks that are specifically assigned to you (based on form settings configuration). To do this, click on the task name which will show up as hyperlinked to complete the corresponding form task.

6. A popup will appear allowing you to complete the selected form task.

7. As seen in the example screenshot above, choose the appropriate status for the assigned defect and enter required comments then click 'Send' to complete the selected 'Respond' task.

8. Accordingly, you can use the task hyperlink to complete other form tasks that may be assigned to you by other team members.
