Sketch Field is a field type in Fulcrum that allows users to sketch directly within the app as part of their regular data collection. Admins can configure the field with a blank canvas or upload a base image for users to sketch on.
Sketch Field is in early access. Please contact [email protected] if you are interested in testing!
Example use cases:
Inspections: Mark up an outline of an asset to highlight defects.
Utilities: Draw the flow of the pipes through a manhole or the height of attachments on a utility pole.
Construction: Sketch on top of a site plan or road intersection to mark where work has been done.
Add Sketch Fields to your apps
Sketch is a field that can be added to your apps. Here are the steps to configure it in an app. You will need to start in the app editor for the app that you wish to use Sketch Field with.
Add 1 or more sketch fields to your form. To do this, either click on ‘Sketch’ within the fields section or drag and drop the Sketch field into the layout area.
Configure the field settings & upload a background.
Adding a background is optional. Leave it blank to give your field users a blank canvas to sketch on.
Save the app.
Using Sketch Field on the mobile app
Sketch fields will be part of the app structure. Sketches can be added as part of the normal data collection flow. Here are the steps:
