Viewpoint Field View

Pros: I am writing this on my mobile device using one hand as I wait for the concrete truck to arrive and will be brief. I was surprised by how long the offline version would allow me to keep running after losing internet service in the elevator shaft (usually software crashes at once). The fact that it allows me to view the drawings and specifications prevents me from looking like an idiot in front of the subcontractors. When I call them (rarely), they answer the phone.

Cons: Sync speed is slow. There are times where it just continues to spin, spinning, spinning, when I try to load a large drawing file and I do not have time for that.

Pros: What I love most about Field View is how it allows me to have everything from site information, inspections and notes at my fingertips rather than sifting through emails or paper files. I use it all the time on my tablet as I walk around the job site, snapping photos, logging issues and checking tasks off as they’re complete.

Cons: The syncing can be quite slow if the connection isn't great and it can be frustrating and the pictures don’t always upload quickly and a slow load time can interrupt my flow when I am working to document things swiftly.

Pros: the system is user friendly, the browser version is straight forwarded and easy to find what you are looking for.

Cons: Take long in reload, you can not recover deselected question inside the forms, you cannot delete users from the business unit only de-activate them. The tablet version is not straight forwarded to find the location and processes,

Pros: Integrationally easy, very versatile tool my team is about to use.

Cons: N/A. Haven’t had too many complaints about it!

Pros: The reports. They're clear, concise and exactly what we need to deliver to clients.

Cons: Still need to use old field view for a lot of functions, but it can be painfully slow.

Pros: We have used Fieldview for over 5 years in the industry, noticing more and more taking on this software. It is easy to use alongside other users, sharing fields and forms. It's user friendly for workers out on the field.

Cons: not able to remove users that appear on the distribution list when allocated to the project at any capacity, creating a long list to go through each time.

Pros: We like the ease of use of the forms on the fieldview app, and how customisable inspection report outputs are.

Cons: It can be quite clunky and slow to set up projects from an admin perspective.

Pros: Really useful tool to help comply with all the requirements of clients and specifications. Once set up, it will help with all the snagging and tasks

Cons: You have to use Fieldview classic to edit or make some changes to the forms which isn't set out the best way and can be confusing.

Pros: the variety of functions available to use from accounting to construction management.

Cons: the short description fields and not being able to use more characters when describing items

Pros: Less paperwork. Easily accessible for all parties

Cons: Field view, full functionality can only be using in tablet form. Not all documentation in construction across all parties use field view meaning alot of information required for our field view documents is on the PC making the process long winded and tedious as the tablet needs to be connected to the PC allow for transfers. If field view had full functionality on PC it would make the hole experience a lot smoother. Also having the ability to print a blank document from Field View would be beneficial. Over the year we've had a couple of experience where the tablet has run out of juice during a safe start. And a couple of times where the Internet in the area is not good or has gone down, this will not allow Field View to open as the tablet requires a sync before opening. Again not good during a safe start or during a QA check with the client.

Pros: Storing information is easy, reports are able to be run.

Cons: It is not user friendly, things do not update easily and have to be hand entered.

Pros: Easy to read and manage between tasks. I use this app daily for work.

Cons: Freezes frequently. Gets hung up, many times items and time entered do not stay and need to be re-entered.

Pros: The cost and ease of use for the field individuals is very good. Mobile functionality is easy to navigate and data does sync without any major issues.

Cons: Set up process is a bit difficult for the limited functionality of the tool. The lack of integration with Viewpoint Teams is also a detriment.

Pros: - Ease of Use. - Easy to track. - Storage of documents. - Good notification system.

Cons: - Multiple log in pages. - Quick enforced automatics log off. - Not working on some sites. - Help line takes long.

Pros: Relatively simple to use. Once know way around can be simple

Cons: Syncing poor, notifications excessive and not necessarily always relevant. Adding snags long winded and cumbersome

Pros: i like the high level of customer service we get if something needs sorting or we need help. the constant development of the products with all the updates and releases making all the small changes that make huge different

Cons: when im working fast on ipad it crashes sometimes

Pros: Our field users liked the product and it worked well.

Cons: The setup of users is a pain. This software was not directly connected to Vista or Team. It was a stand alone product from Viewpoint. Could not right RFI's in Field View. Had to do this in Team.

Pros: The main reason we use Field View is that we intent to have it connected to our other Viewpoint products for easy syncing. Everything works as it's intended. Once everything has been setup, issues are rare and most can be resolved by tweaking form that were made by Operations.

Cons: The 2 biggest cons of this product are cost and it's not easy to setup.

Pros: Once you got past the setup the ease of use was simple. We had tons of buy in from subs and foremen on all jobs to use this product.

Cons: The admin side and getting users into the system was a major pain for deployment.

Pros: Punchlists, forms with workflows, integrated photos

Cons: Customization of tasks and forms were limited and challenging to figure out. Notification settings can’t be modified -I.e sends at 2am only 1x

Pros: Emails data, outputs and reports to Viewpoint - reducing admin around records

Cons: Horrific Set-up time and difficulty levels.

Pros: Easy to access and load into the different files.

Cons: The search bar doesnt search the required documents.

Pros: mobile functionality, enabling on-site data capture and real-time collaboration

Cons: While customization is a strength, complex configurations might be challenging for some users
