NotHeardofThat1 Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 We're still on carbon copy pen and paper, personally I think we're well behind times. We should be giving iPads a trail soon for the most frequent on site paperwork. I've made a PDF form of our Preventative Maintenance sheet and planning on using PDF Expert app. Our only worry is, with pen and paper, there is less chance of sensitive information being found. For example if you disconnect a system, this would be documented, normally this would be on the sheet you leave with the client, but using an iPad I would have to email the sheet to the office then they post the sheet. Criminal postman Pat could open their letter and see the alarm is disconnected and have their full address... I suppose we could email the client the worksheet directly but some clients technology is a no-no. Barely having a mobile phone, let alone the world wide web.. Has anybody else gone paperless and how have you gone about it? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matthew.brough Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 We have gone totally paperless with iPad and the app has real time links into our arc and installer software. Works great. RIP Biro. www.securitywarehouse.co.uk/catalog/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIP Biro. thanks, but surely the i.toy is a backward step? out of interest what i.os stuff do you use to run yourself? id guess and i may be wrong here but is all your serious stuff, ie 'mas' ms based ? when will the ipad joke version be launched? securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.

matthew.brough Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Yup. The app talks to a windows service library run on a IIS7 server and that in turn talks to another IIS server which in turn talks to a ms SQL server. MASweb is also run on IIS. MAS runs all its platform in Microsoft products with the exception of the apps. One of the thins that make it expensive. We have ms SQL but MAS also runs on oracle. iToy rulez www.securitywarehouse.co.uk/catalog/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james.wilson Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 well said it seems the itoy stuff works better than the ms stuff as a front end on ms stuff. im sure that will continue securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.

matthew.brough Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 I don't know specifically why they decided to have a set of web server services that the app calls and those services call other services server which in turn alls the database. I'm not sure why this architecture was chosen and I any other was tested and found not to work well. I don't know. My mail app on iToy talks to exchange very well too. Bit of a exchange admirer.

NotHeardofThat1 Posted October 25, 2013 Author Share Posted October 25, 2013 I can't say I understood any of that server database jibberish. Sounds pretty complex.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datadiffusion Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Well, back to the drawing board for me. Just had an email that my bargain Xperia Androidpad isn't available. Bah. JW do you have any experience of the Siemens SPC eng browser mode working on Fruitpad? Only real reason I chose android was that I knew both SPC and iOn are fine with Chrome. All the apps I was after work on android or ios anyway. So, I've decided to take my work back underground.... to stop it falling into the wrong hands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthew.brough Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 I can't say I understood any of that server database jibberish. Sounds pretty complex.. Quite logical really. Same with everything I suppose. It's only complex if you don't understand it. Brain surgery is quite easy to a brain surgeon. Take it this kind of stuff below from SQL looks like Chinese? select @icnt = count(*) from inserted select @dcnt = count(*) from deleted if @icnt = @dcnt select @tran_type = 'C' if @icnt > @dcnt select @tran_type = 'A' if @icnt < @dcnt select @tran_type = 'D' select @table_no = 537 www.securitywarehouse.co.uk/catalog/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
