Summary​

The summary contains textual information about your kit. We recommend you use it to explain the purpose of this kit.

Blocks​

A checklist is made of blocks. Each block contains a Step name (mandatory), a free text for the description of the step and user inputs.

You can add a new step by click Add step at the bottom of the page, next to the Save button.

User inputs​

To add a user input, click on the Add user input button.

Each input must have a name. In a block, 2 inputs cannot have the same name

info

The name you enter will be transformed in a technical key for storage.

Shall you have 2 names identical, except for a special character, you will have to change one of them.

e.g. you cannot have Is working and Is working? as 2 different inputs

User input types​

Each input can be Required or Optional

You can add inputs of type

  • Text can have a regular expression (Javascript compatible) in order to validate its format.
  • Text area
  • Email
  • Date
  • True / false
    info

    A true/false input that is required means that the user must set it to Yes to consider it valid.

  • File

About file inputs​

Each process execution where a file will be required will have, in your bucket, in the executed-processes folder:

  • a {tecnichalId}.ascki file, containing the checklist
  • a folder, named after the {technicalId}
info

Technical information

When a user will upload a file associated to the file input, it will land in executed-process/{technicalId}/{technicalFieldName}

The technical field name is the name of the field, where whitespaces and special characters have been removed, to be transformed to camel case.

Reorganizing blocks​

You can reorganize blocks by clicking on the up and down chevron that appear at the top right of a block when you hover it.

You can delete a block by clicking on the Delete icon. Beware, there's no confirmation required!

You can also drag and drop blocks to reorganize them

Shall there be any issue, your changes will not be saved.

Upon succesful save, you'll be redirected to your kit summary.

Expert mode​

Kits checklists are saved in a JSON format.

You can directly edit this, by clicking on "Switch to expert mode". We do not recommend you doing that and we do not, at the moment, provide documentation on the expected structure.

Yet, this could be used for minor changes from a kit created in the application, on which you want to push updates through an API integration.
