iHelpDesk: This compliments the web based iHelpDesk module. iHelpDesk is an issue ticketing system.
The very first time a user logs into iConstructionApp, user enters the corporate app server URL, given to them by their network admin. This is the url for their windows web app server. It hosts web services.
User enters windows userid and password. App calls a Windows Active Directory authentication web service. If the user is a valid user in the corporate database, he/she is taken to the Main Menu showing the available modules.
If the authentication fails, user can retry login.
On successful login, user is taken to the main menu showing the modules granted to his/her role.
In iHelpDesk module, user is creating issue tickets.
Issues are predefined issues.
For each predefined issue, there is a Ticket designed with specific fields relevant to that issue.
The Ticket menu shows the predefined issues in a tree menu format.
User presses an issue to report, opens a blank ticket, enters issue details and SAVEs the ticket.
iHelpDesk app calls web services to save the ticket to corporate database.
Tickets created are available to support engineers in the web application.
That is the functionality in iConstructionAPP ver 1.0
