Use ArchiSnapper to collaborate with other parties

With ArchiSnapper you can collect and document observations, together with photos and sketches, assignees, notes, locations and annotations on PDF plans etc. There are then 3 ways to communicate these documented observations with other parties: 1) Email a field report (PDF format) to your contacts 2) Filter and group lists of observations from your [all observations page](https://app3.archisnapper.com/account/checklist_items?lang=en) and then download this list or share it online. Example: a cross-project list of all observations with status ‘NOK’ for subcontractor XYZ, grouped by project and then by section (eg room number). 3) Invite assignees to give feedback on the items assigned to them. In this help doc we’ll explain how this works. ## Invite contacts to collaborate You can invite contacts from your [central contacts list](https://app3.archisnapper.com/contact_details?lang=en): [block:image] { "images": [ { "image": [ "https://files.readme.io/c261478-Schermafbeelding_2018-07-30_om_15.56.34.png", "Schermafbeelding 2018-07-30 om 15.56.34.png", 1081, 436, "#452b26" ] } ] } [/block] These contacts will then receive an invitation email. By clicking on the link in that email they’ll create a *free* ArchiSnapper account. Next, they can tap on "Projects you are invited to" to view the list of items assigned to them: [block:image] { "images": [ { "image": [ "https://files.readme.io/4ab0b31-Schermafbeelding_2018-07-30_om_16.07.42.png", "Schermafbeelding 2018-07-30 om 16.07.42.png", 1457, 369, "#ebebec" ] } ] } [/block] Or, from the ArchiSnapper App they can tap on settings and then "see invited projects": [block:image] { "images": [ { "image": [ "https://files.readme.io/2a97012-Schermafbeelding_2018-07-31_om_14.02.12.png", "Schermafbeelding 2018-07-31 om 14.02.12.png", 622, 490, "#dfdfe0" ] } ] } [/block] ## What can invited contacts do with ArchiSnapper? Invited contacts won’t be able to add or edit any observations, they can only give feedback on the items assigned to them. They will be able to do the following, both online and with the ArchiSnapper App: 1) View all items that are assigned to them They will see the list of projects in which they are involved: [block:image] { "images": [ { "image": [ "https://files.readme.io/15aa794-Schermafbeelding_2018-07-30_om_16.15.28.png", "Schermafbeelding 2018-07-30 om 16.15.28.png", 1118, 346, "#dcdcdc" ] } ] } [/block] They can also filter out lists of observations based on project, observation name, category, status, … By filtering on ‘TO DO’ in the ‘feedback status' filter they can filter out observations that require action: [block:image] { "images": [ { "image": [ "https://files.readme.io/8b0a426-Construction_collaboration_l_ArchiSnapper.png", "Construction collaboration l ArchiSnapper.png", 1090, 571, "#eaeaea" ] } ] } [/block] 2) Add feedback (text and/or photos) When an item has been fixed, they can (online or from the App) write text, eg “this has been solved” and/or insert photos of the situation after the fix: [block:image] { "images": [ { "image": [ "https://files.readme.io/dfb6f56-Construction_collaboration_tool_site_visits_archisnapper.png", "Construction collaboration tool site visits archisnapper.png", 1057, 570, "#313131" ] } ] } [/block] 3) When an item has been fixed, they can change the observation status from TO BE DONE to DONE after which it will be assigned to you for approval. Note: this will send it for approval to you, but the status of the item remains ‘NOT OK’ until you actually approve it. ## What will you see when contacts share feedback or mark items as DONE? In the “[all observations table](https://app3.archisnapper.com/account/checklist_items?lang=en)” you can filter out all observations with ‘feedback status’ DONE. When you tap on the comment icon you will see the feedback (notes and pictures) the contact left you: [block:image] { "images": [ { "image": [ "https://files.readme.io/6786882-archisnapper_communicate_with_contractors_and_subcontractors.png", "archisnapper communicate with contractors and subcontractors.png", 1117, 780, "#eeefee" ] } ] } [/block] If the item has not been solved you can reply with a text note and/or picture and mark it as TO BE DONE again. Doing so you're communicating on an item *within* ArchiSnapper instead of over phone calls, mails, whatsapp messages, ... If the item has been solved you can approve it, by tapping on DONE which will change the status from NOK to OK. You can also do this from the App: tap on the project name and then on 'Collaborate / Evaluate': [block:image] { "images": [ { "image": [ "https://files.readme.io/d218678-Schermafbeelding_2018-07-30_om_16.38.27.png", "Schermafbeelding 2018-07-30 om 16.38.27.png", 691, 538, "#dbe3f7" ] } ] } [/block] ## Overview and notifications All actions done by contacts will appear in the ‘activity’ section of your dashboard: [block:image] { "images": [ { "image": [ "https://files.readme.io/22c874c-archisnapper_construction_collaboration_and_punch_lists.png", "archisnapper construction collaboration and punch lists.png", 1083, 820, "#f2f2f1" ] } ] } [/block] You will also get a daily summary mail containing all activity of the previous day.
