Most modules in WebTMA GO open with a list page where you can download a list of records for the module, such as the Work Order List or Request Log List windows.
Initially, these windows display no records. When the window includes a Refresh
button on the title bar, you can tap the button to populate the List window. To remove all lines from the page and download them again, tap the Clear button
. Once the window is cleared, tap the Refresh button again to reload the page.
When you download a list to the iPad, WebTMA GO forwards the data as quickly as possible. During the process, you can monitor the "network active" symbols, i.e., the spinning sunburst near the WiFi symbol
and the search field
.
As the list begins to fill, some lines display a check mark in the left column and others display a Cloud
symbol.
The check mark indicates the record on the iPad is in sync with the server. The Cloud symbol shows that the record is in the cloud prior to downloading. The Cloud symbol changes to a check mark once the record is downloaded.
The rate at which the list fills depends on the speed of your WiFi connection and the number of records being downloaded. If you lose your WiFi connection or it is interrupted, the Cloud symbol remains. If you attempt to open a Cloud record when not connected to WiFi, a "Network Unreachable" popup alerts that you do not have a WiFi connection.
Look to the lower right corner of all list pages for a label displayed in blue . This shows the number of records in the list.
Tapping the Refresh button also reloads work orders that have been closed on the WebTMA server but are still loaded on your device. This insures that you have the latest work order information available.
