Getting Started Guide

You have various options for using the Remote-Master App:

1. With a local database,

2. With Cloud/Server login and Cloudmaster database (synchronization via One-Click Sync).

In both variants, the Remote-Master App works with a locally stored database on the device.

Below, you will find instructions for using the app with both the local and cloud-server dependent methods. For better clarity, we have divided them.

1. Login Screen

Once you have launched the Remote-Master App, you will encounter the following login screen.

Open

2. Local login

If you want to use the Remote-Master App locally, click on the "Connect" button (see image).

Afterward, the "Bluetooth Manager" will open, displaying the testing devices available nearby. Choose the device you want to connect with the Remote-Master. This process will create a local database. On the next page, you will find more information about the "Bluetooth Manager."

3. Bluetooth-Manager

Once you have successfully connected the Remote-Master App with the testing device, pressing the "Back" button will redirect you to the dashboard.

4. Cloud Anmeldung

If you want to use the Remote-Master App with the Cloud, enter the server address, your username, and password. Then, click on "Login" to sign in (see image). To remain logged in even without an internet connection upon starting the app, select "Remember Username" and "Auto-login."

Once you have successfully logged in, you will be directed to the Dashboard.

5. Dashboard

The Dashboard is the central control panel of the Remote-Master App. From here, you can access all the essential settings and functions. On the following page, you will find an overview of the Dashboard's features and options.

5.1 Dashboard, "Group Information" section in portrait mode of the screen.

If the tablet or smartphone screen is in portrait mode, the "Group Information" section with additional useful Dashboard buttons will be displayed below the "Options" and "History" sections. The functionalities for managing the catalog master data are available with the Comfort+ license.

You can add catalog entries to the element catalog attached to the group. Additionally, there is an option to store field catalogs for each input field and expand them during inventory by adding more entries. The element catalog and field catalog can be imported and exported as CSV in any group through the Dashboard when the group is open.

6. Customer Overview

In der Kundenübersicht sehen Sie bereits angelegte Kunden, andernfalls ist die Übersicht leer. Hier können Sie Kunden anlegen und bereits angelegte Kunden bearbeiten.

6.1 Creating Customers

Once you click on the "Create" button in the Customer Overview, a blank customer profile page will appear.

The customer profile page is divided into "Main Features" and "Contact" sections (see image).

It's important to note that the "Name" field is a required field and must be filled in. Otherwise, the "Create" button will remain grayed out. The name does not need to be unique, meaning you can create multiple customer records with the same name since uniqueness is determined by the identifier (ID).

You have several options to generate an identifier (ID):

1. Leave the field empty, and the system will create a unique ID number that has not been used before.

2. You can enter an alphanumeric identifier (ID) (at least 3 characters). You are free to use letters, numbers, or even special characters.

3. By activating the scan symbol, you can capture an already assigned identifier (ID) encrypted in a QR/barcode and use it.

6.2 Node groups overview

The Element Group Overview is divided into the categories devices, installations and objects.

Switching between the tabs displays the already created elements for each category. To create an element for a specific category, you must have selected the respective category tab (see image).

6.2.1 Create node groups

Once you activate the "Create" button in the Element Group Overview, a blank Element Group Profile page will appear (see image "Empty Element Group Profile").

While creating the element group, you have the option to determine whether it should also be inserted into the "Installation" and/or "Objekt" group.

This applies equivalently in all element group categories. However, it must be set immediately during creation, as it cannot be changed later in the editing process.

It's important to note that the "Name" and "Standort" fields are mandatory and must be filled out. Otherwise, the "Create" button will remain grayed out. The name for the groups must be unique. You can create multiple groups, but you must keep this in mind.

The "Location" field can be filled out by clicking on the row and using a dropdown list. For this, an element group for the location must have been created beforehand under the customer; otherwise, the dropdown list will be empty.

6.3.1 Elemente für Geräte/Objekte/Installationen anlegen/erstellen

To create an element, you clicked on the upper left "+" symbol in the tree view (see section 6.3), and you were then redirected to a page called "Element Profile." In this page, the "Element Type" field is set to "Gerät" (Device) by default, but you can also choose "Arbeitsmittel Knoten" (Work Equipment Node), "Medizingerät" (Medical Device), or "Schweißgerät" (Welding Device) as alternatives (see the image below). An element profile is a summary of the properties of an element.

The element profile for devices is divided into Main Features, Images, and Parameters. We will briefly cover Images and Parameters.

In the "Images" section, you have the option to capture images using the camera or import previously captured images.

In the "Parameters" section, predefined parameters are listed, which you can fill in as needed.

For you, the most important fields in Main Features are Name and Element Type, as they are mandatory fields. Otherwise, the "Create" button will remain in gray. The remaining features can be filled in as desired.

The Name field does not have to be unique. You can create multiple elements with the same name, as uniqueness is determined by the identifier (ID). The Element Type can be selected from the dropdown menu, where "Gerät" (Device) is the default selection.

You have several options to generate an identifier (ID).

1. Leave the field blank, and the system will assign a previously unused unique identifier (ID).

2. Enter an identifier (ID) using alphanumeric input (at least 3 characters). You are free to use letters, numbers, or even special characters.

3. Use the scan symbol to capture an already assigned identifier (ID) encrypted in a QR-/Barcode.

The "Protocols" and "Procedures" features can be selected from dropdowns.

To complete the process, click on Save.

6.3.2 Catalogs

For managing reusable content, there are the Element Catalog and the Field Catalog. In the Element Catalog associated with a group, you can add, modify, and delete entries. Additionally, for each input field, you can store entries in the Field Catalog and expand it during inventory by adding further entries. Entries in the Field Catalog can also be modified and deleted.

Managing a catalog, including adding, modifying, and deleting entries, can be done in two ways: directly within the app and by editing the exported CSV file, making changes, and then importing it back.

6.3.2.1 Element catalog

Using an entry from the Element Catalog:

In the following image, you can see that the user is required to enter the name of the element. Once the user taps on the "Name" field, a dropdown list will appear, including icon images for the relevant element names. Tapping on one of these names will automatically fill the "Name" field with the selected element's name.

6.3.3 Create element nodes

To create a location element, you clicked on the bottom-left "+" symbol in the Tree View (see section 6.3), and then you were redirected to a page called "Node profile." In this page, the value "Property" is set in the "Node Type" field, but you can also choose "Building", "Floor", or "Room" as alternatives (see the image below).

With the Buttons in the “Longitude/Latitude” you can fetch the GPS Coordinates from the tablet.

The element profile for locations is divided into main features and parameters. In the parameter section, pre-defined parameters are listed, which you can fill in as needed.

The field "Name" marked with a red asterisk must be filled out, otherwise the "Create" button will remain in gray color. The name should be unique for a location. The element type can be selected from the dropdown menu. The remaining features can be filled in as desired.

To complete the process, click on "Create".

If the newly created location element is not positioned at the desired location in the hierarchy after creation, simply move it to the correct position.

6.3.4 Nodes - further features

If you select one of the elements in the tree view and swipe your finger to the left or right over it, a context menu with circularly arranged icons will appear.

6.3.5 Standort-Element - weitere Funktionen

When you select one of the location elements in the tree view and swipe your finger to the left or right, a context menu with circularly arranged symbols will appear.

Depending on the initial state of the location element, the context menu will offer a different selection of symbols (see the following two images).

6.3.6 Element Eigenschaften

Once you have selected an element, the main window will display the element properties instead of the dashboard (see image).

Here, you can see the name, identifier (ID), the last inspection with its result, and the predefined quick procedures.

To start an inspection, select the appropriate procedure and click on the "Start New Inspection" button. You will be redirected to the inspection process, which you will follow step by step until you complete the inspection.

The displayed QR code below the "Last Inspection" list represents the identifier of the selected element. You can use the Print function to print the QR code.

7. Sync

As mentioned earlier in the Dashboard section, a synchronization between the local database and the cloud database is initiated (see image).

After starting the synchronization process, it performs a data comparison between the databases. If an error occurs, a "Pop-Up" window will notify you. Please try again, as errors could be caused by connection interruptions. The synchronization will resume from where it was interrupted.

8.1 Proceduredesigner

In the Procedure Designer, you can create, import, and export procedures for the categories Devices, Installations, and Objects (see image).

8.1.1 Procedureprofile

In the Procedure Profile, you can implement your newly planned procedure, and you have various configuration options (see images).

The Procedure Profile is divided into "Main Features," "Procedure," "Inspections," and "Functions."

For each procedure, a name must be entered, and it must be unique. The other settings can be made as desired.

In the "Procedure" section, existing test steps can be deleted, moved, or duplicated. New test steps can be added to the procedure from the "Inspections" or "Functions" sections by clicking or using the "Drag and Drop" method.

Using "Drag and Drop," a test step can be moved to any position in the sequence, while clicking it will add it to the end of the procedure.

At the bottom of the window, a visual inspection can be added.

After inserting or duplicating a test or function, a new window with settings for the inserted step will appear.

(See image)

Here, you can enter main features, parameters, and limit values as needed. For the limit values, you can choose the desired unit from a dropdown menu. When entering values for the lower limit (min) and the upper limit (max), a formula calculator/formula editor will open when you click inside the field. (See image)

8.1.2 The formula calculator/formula editor

The options and "Result" methods/functions, as well as the variables, are essential for you in this context. (Result = Outcome). Please refer to the image for more details.

Each of the options or result methods is associated with an ID, which allows you to identify what this method/function represents and what result it returns. Afterward, click on "Create," and the test or function will appear in the procedure section (see image). You can also duplicate individual procedures, as before, as a template that you need to fill in again. Furthermore, you can press and hold a procedure step to move it to the left or right to delete it or move it up and down to rearrange it.

You can add visual inspections by selecting "Add visual" Here, you have the option to take pictures using the camera or import them from another source. A description is mandatory for creating a visual inspection; otherwise, it cannot be created. However, the rest of the information is optional.

Once you are satisfied with the procedure, click on "Create" to finalize the process.

8.2 Protocoldesigner

8.2.1 Protocol template

In the report template profile, you can implement your newly designed report templates, and you have various configuration options. (see the following image)

The report template profile has the main features. For each report template profile, a name must be entered, and it must be unique. Description and remarks can be entered as per choice.

In the "Protocol" field, you need to enter the desired report template in HTML format. It could look like the following (see the next image).

Once you have made all the relevant settings, you can create the report template by clicking on "Save".

9. Quick Guide to the First Inspection.

You have read the instructions and now want to know how to quickly conduct your first inspection? For this purpose, we have created a Quick Guide for you, which covers the most important steps.

9.1 Anmelden

Log in to the app either locally or through the cloud.

9.2 Creating or Importing Procedures and Protocol Templates

First, you need to import the standard procedures and protocol templates from the software and test device manufacturer by activating the "Download" button in the Bluetooth Manager. See section "3. Bluetooth Manager" in this document.

Use the "Download" button in the Bluetooth Manager to import the latest procedures and protocol templates from your hardware manufacturer.

For more details, refer to the "Important Notes about the 'Download' Button in the Bluetooth Manager" in Section "3. Bluetooth Manager" of the user manual.

9.3 Create a customer

Create a new customer record (see also "6.1 Creating Customers").

9.4 Create new node groups

Create one or more element groups in the selected area of categories, namely "Equipment," "Installations," "Objects," and for the chosen customer. In the "Element Group Profile" window, you can assign a name, a location identifier, a remark, and values in four additional custom fields to such an element group (see section 6.2.1).

9.5 Create a new node

1. Access the "Tree View" window (see the following image) by selecting the customer and the element group, then tapping the "hamburger" icon in the top-left corner of the dashboard or by swiping from the left edge of the screen to the right.

2. Next, create a new element by activating the plus symbol in the upper part of the window, depending on the selected element group, e.g., create a new mobile device to be tested, an installation device, or an object such as a fire extinguisher to be inspected.

3. Then, create a new location element by activating the other plus symbol in the lower part of the window, which opens the "Element Profile" window for you to fill out.

9.6 Performing an Inspection

If not done already, establish a Bluetooth connection with the testing device. Select an element that you want to inspect and choose a procedure. Then click on "Start New Inspection".

9.7 Creating / Outputting Reports

You can create reports in various ways:

• Individual reports for specific elements through the inspection results.

• Report generation through the tree view.

• Report generation through the list view (see sections 9.7.3 and 6.3.3).

• Generating reports for the entire group via the dashboard.

Reports can be created either with images and measurement data or without, depending on your preference.

9.7.1 Report Generation for Individual Elements

Inspection results in a single report:

Select the inspected element in the tree view and slide with the finger to the left/right on it or dubble tap it.

Then click on the print icon.

Click “File”

Choose the required template from the available options.

The protocol will be displayed to you as a PDF document, which you can now print, save, or edit as needed.

9.7.2 Protocol output via the list view:

In the list view, you can print individual protocols for each row by clicking on the printer icon. If the element in the tree structure contains sub-elements, you can expand the protocol to include the data of the linked sub-elements.

In the top row, where the filters are located, you can use the printer icon to generate protocols for all elements that appear in the filtered list.

There, you have the option to output the results of individual elements in separate PDFs in a ZIP archive or all together in a single PDF file.

9.7.3 Protokollausgabe der gesamten Gruppe über Dashboard

To generate the protocol for the entire group through the dashboard, navigate to the "Group Information" section and click on the "Print Protocol" button after opening the data for the desired customer and group.

There, you have the option to output the results of individual elements in separate PDFs within a ZIP archive or all together in a single PDF file.

With all the options mentioned above, you have the choice to output the protocol as an archive or a file. Here is a brief overview:

9.7.4 Protocol Output as Archive

Specify (File or Archive) whether you want to merge the results of individual elements into a single PDF file or have them in separate PDFs within a ZIP archive.

If you have generated individual protocols in a ZIP file as separate PDFs, you can reuse the already generated protocols and do not need to generate them again. This saves time!

Choose a protocol template to be used for the elements where no protocol template is specified in the master data.

If you want to use the selected protocol template and ignore the one specified in the master data, select the corresponding option here.

9.7.5 Protocol Output as File

When choosing to output all results of the selected elements in a single PDF file, the following applicable protocol types are available:

• List Protocol

• Attachment Protocol with or without Cover Page

• Individual Protocols, all in one PDF file

Choose a protocol template suitable for generating the desired type of protocol. Only one protocol template can be used for the generation.

Congratulations, you have successfully completed your first inspection! :)

10. Settings (Cloud Appendix)

Wie bereits im Abschnitt "Dashboard" angesprochen, erreichen Sie die Einstellungen über das Zahnradsymbol in der rechten oberen Ecke. Anschließend werden Sie auf die Einstellungen-Seite weitergeleitet (siehe Bild).

Here, you have a wide range of settings options.

11. Dashboard (Cloud Appendix)

The dashboard is the control center of the Remote-Master app. From here, you can access all the important settings and functions. On the following page, you will find an overview.

12. Customer Overview (Cloud Appendix)

In the customer overview, you can see the customers that have already been created. If there are no customers yet, the overview will be empty. Here, you can create new customers and edit existing ones.

12.1 Creating Customers (Cloud Supplement)

When you activate the "Create" button in the customer overview, an empty customer profile page will appear. The customer profile page is divided into "Main Features" and "Contact" sections (see image).

It is important for you to know that the "Name" field is a mandatory field and must be filled out. Otherwise, the "Create" button will remain unresponsive and in gray color. However, the name does not need to be unique, meaning you can create multiple customers with the same name, as the uniqueness is determined by the identifier (ID).

You have several options to generate an identifier (ID):

1. Leave the field empty, and the system will assign a unique identifier that has not been used before.

2. Enter an identifier (ID) using alphanumeric characters (at least 3 characters). You are free to use letters, numbers, or even special characters.

3. Use the scan symbol to capture an identifier from an existing QR/Barcode and use it.

13. Node groups(Cloud Appendix)

Die Elementgruppenübersicht gliedert sich in die Kategorien Arbeitsmittel, Installation und Objekte. Hier können Sie also die Arbeitsmittel, Installationen und Objekte der Kunden hinterlegen.

Das Wechseln der einzelnen Register-Reiter zeigt die bereits angelegten Elemente an. Um ein Element für die jeweilige Kategorie anzulegen, müssen Sie zuvor den Register-Reiter dieser Kategorie ausgewählt haben. (siehe Bild).

13.1 Creating Element Groups (Cloud Appendix)

When you click on the "Create" button in the Element Group Overview, a blank Element Group Profile page will appear.

You can specify during the creation of the element group whether it should also be included in the Installation and/or Object group. This applies equivalently to all element group categories. However, this must be decided during the initial creation, as it cannot be changed afterwards.

It is important to note that the fields "Name" and "Location" are mandatory and must be filled out. Otherwise, the "Create" button will remain inactive and displayed in grey. The group names must be unique, meaning that each name must be different from all others. You can create multiple groups, but you need to ensure they have distinct names.

The "Location" field can be filled by clicking on the row and selecting from a dropdown list. To have options in the dropdown list, you need to have already created element groups for the locations under the respective customer. Otherwise, the dropdown list will be empty.
