Construction

The Construction Details grid view allows descriptions, dates, images, and site activities related to the initial construction of a monitoring site to be recorded. The construction data records in DataSight are extensible, meaning that an infinite number of customised construction parameters can be added. Construction data is viewed in a tabular format to allow for filtering.
