ArchiSnapper Screen Inspect  ArchiSnapper Screen Reports An organization using both Deltek Ajera and ArchiSnapper will, likely, have a need to complete field reports. In this case, the first step will be to setup that project in Ajera. Once that project is setup in Ajera and the relevant contact records have been associated with the project, that information will automatically synchronize to ArchiSnapper. Someone within the organization could then utilize the mobile app from the job site on their phone or tablet to initiate a field report. To do this, the end user would select the project with which the field report is associated and all the information synchronized from Ajera would be available. A new field report could then be created and information regarding weather at the time of the visit, other project team members present during the site visit and the observations made during the visit. These observations could include photographs, references to locations within drawings along a wide range of other relevant and/or actionable information. Once the report is complete, it can be saved to the project and distributed as needed to the required team members.
