DSApp is a smart-device application designed to assist with capturing and viewing DataSight data. Using DSapp and DataSight's file based systems, data flows seamlessly between a mobile device and the DataSight database.

When you run the DSApp upgrades on your DataSight database a default set of Variable Groups, Variables and their Response Types used in DSApp pages are created.

Elements of each DSApp page can be controlled and customized within DataSight itself, as Variable Groups and MDE templates.

Pages used to capture data in DSApp and how data is stored in your database consist of:

• Safety page - allows the user to enter data into customisable fields, with the Variables displayed defined by the Safety and Hazard DSApp Variable Groups, and the type of response allowed defined by the Variable's Response Type. Data entered is recorded as Variable values within the primary data table in DataSight, and is viewable in a datasheet.
• Sampling page - allows the user to capture information relating to samples being collected. Data entered is recorded as Variable values within the primary data table in DataSight, and is viewable in a datasheet.
• Data Entry page - is broken into the On Arrival and Manual Data Entry (MDE) sections, with the data entered recorded as Variable values within the primary data table in DataSight, and is viewable in a datasheet.
• On Arrival section - allows the user to enter data into customisable fields, with the Variables displayed defined by the On Arrival DSApp Variable Group and the type of response allowed defined by the Variable's Response Type.
• MDE section - allows the user to enter data into alphanumeric text fields, with the Variables displayed defined by the MDE Template selected. If a Standard has also been selected in DSApp, data entered in the MDE section is validated against the Standard and highlighted accordingly.
• Equipment Calibration page - allows the user to record information relating to calibrating equipment, such as the results of the calibration and when the next calibration is due. Data entered is saved as a Calibration Record in the Equipment section within DataSight.
• Construction page - allows the user to record information relating to the level's construction, such as when the site was installed, and can include a photo. Data entered is saved in the Level 3 Construction Details section within DataSight.
• On Departure page - allows the user to enter data into customisable fields, with the Variables displayed defined by the On Departure DSApp Variable Group, and the type of response allowed defined by the Variable's Response Type. Data entered is recorded as Variable values within the primary data table in DataSight, and is viewable in a datasheet.

Information about your Levels, Variables, Equipment, Flags, People, Standards and MDE Templates, as well as data records you wish viewable in DSApp are exported from your DataSight database and uploaded to your FTP Server. DSApp accesses your FTP Server to download these data files, providing DSApp with the information it needs to operate. DSApp will also upload data files to your FTP Server for your collected and submitted DSApp Import files (DSI). This flow of data between your DataSight database and the FTP Server is handled by Saved Views and automated Tasks.

When you generate DSApp data in DataSight Administrator, the below Saved Views and Tasks are created in your DataSight database:

• 'DSAppReport' Saved View Report - used by the 'Generate DSApp Report' automated Task for providing DSApp with information about your database's Levels, Variables, Equipment, Flags, People, Standards and MDE Templates.
• 'DSAppDatasheet' Saved View Datasheet - used by the 'Generate DSApp Datasheet' automated Task for providing DSApp with data from your database.
• 'Generate DSApp Report' automated Task - used to generate the 'DSAppReport' report file and upload it to your FTP Server.
• 'Generate DSApp Datasheet' automated Task - used to generate the 'DSAppDatasheet' data file and upload it to your FTP Server.
• 'Import DSApp Data' automated Task - used to import DSI files generated by DSApp that have been uploaded to your FTP Server.
