Help with Field

Field is an iPhone app for facade inspectors working NYC Local Law 11 (FISP). It turns pins, photographs and dictated notes taken on the scaffold into a marked-up elevation and a numbered condition list you can export as a PDF.

Getting started

Create an account with your email and a password.
Add a building — name, address, and its FISP cycle and sub-cycle.
Add an elevation by photographing the facade from street level, or by uploading a PDF or PNG. Skew from photographing at an angle is fine.
Log a condition — open the elevation, pinch to zoom, tap the spot, take the photo, then type or dictate the note. Tag it SAFE, SWARMP or UNSAFE if you want to.
Generate the report from the Report tab, then share it as a PDF.

Common questions

My pins seem to land in the wrong place.

Pin positions are stored relative to the elevation image, so zooming does not move them. If a pin looks misplaced, open it and check it was tapped on the intended spot, then delete and re-add it if needed.

The note did not get cleaned up.

Cleanup runs in the background and needs a connection. If you were offline, the raw note is kept exactly as you entered it and the report still works. If a note comes back marked as needing detail, it did not contain enough of an observation to rewrite — that is deliberate. The app will not invent a condition.

Will I lose data with no signal?

No. Capture is written to the phone immediately and never waits on a connection.

How does backup work?

It is manual. Tap BACK UP on the Buildings screen to push your records and photographs to your private cloud storage. Restoring to a new phone is not available yet.

How do I delete my account?

Settings → Delete account. It permanently removes your account and every building, pin, note and photograph, on the phone and in the cloud. There is a confirmation step, and it cannot be undone.

Is the export a sealed report?

No. It is a field draft and the footer says so. You are the QEWI; the classification, the filing and the seal are your professional judgment.

Why does it install under a different name?

The App Store seller name is Murat Salcigil, the developer's legal name.

Is there an Android version?

Not yet.
