Newforma Konekt Mobile: Getting Started Tutorial

4 minutes

2 years ago

Newforma Konekt Mobile is a companion app for the Newforma Konekt web-based platform, and is designed for, and adapted to, the challenges of fieldwork.

With Newforma Konekt Mobile, your office and on-site teams can share critical information and manage tasks. They can also assign and monitor issues, RFIs, and submittals using its intuitive interface, send emails, file documents and use the Viewer.

This tutorial teaches anyone from site supervisors to tradespeople how to download and start using the Newforma Konekt mobile app.

What you’ll need

A Newforma Konekt account (see Create an Account).
Access to a hub, and a project inside of that hub.

Step 1 – Download the app

Newforma Konekt Mobile is available for iOS or Android, and you can download it free on the App Store or the Google Play Store on your mobile device. After you download and launch the mobile application, you may log in using your existing account.

Step 2 – Retrieve and edit Issues

When you open a project on the mobile app, you’ll land on the dashboard where you can select quick filters to find issues more easily. All of your project’s issues are available to you on your mobile device.

For more information, see Issue Management on Mobile.

Create Issues

With Newforma Konekt Mobile, you also have the ability to create issues. There are two options available to you:

Create an issue from a picture by using your device’s built-in camera. You can also attach a picture – or any file type – to an issue.
Create an issue using speech-to-text without having to type it out on your phone’s keyboard.

And because Newforma Konekt Mobile is software that is built for field conditions, it has offline functionality so that your on-site teams can keep track of their tasks, and update your project as they return to normal cell or wifi covered areas (see Sync and Download Issues).

Log RFIs and Submittals

Submittals and RFIs can be logged and responded to while online. To access RFIs and submittals from the navigation menu, tap the hamburger icon in the menu and pin them.

For more information, see RFI & Submittal Management on Mobile.

View project emails on mobile

With Newforma Konekt’s mobile app, you can view email messages that have been filed to a project using the Outlook add-in. Email attachments can be downloaded for later viewing, or opened using the application of your choice.

For more information, see View Project Email on Mobile.

View project files on mobile

With Newforma Konekt’s mobile app, you can view the project files from Newforma Konekt directly in the app as well as files from Autodesk Docs and Sharepoint when their folders are connected on the web application. The mobile app allows all logged in project team members to access the most up-to-date information about the project. The files can be shared from the Files manager, downloaded to the device for later viewing and opened using the application of your choice on your device.

For more information, see View Project Files on Mobile.

View and navigate Models and Sheets in the Viewer

It is possible to upload, view and navigate sheets and models in the Viewer as well as view and create issues from the mobile app. See the following articles for more information:

Congratulations! You now know how to get started with the mobile app. Make sure you keep the app up-to-date to benefits from all newest features.
