Select MDE Template

When creating MDE templates in DataSight for DSApp users, you will need to consider:

  • The tasks the DSApp user will be completing in the field.
  • The Variables the user will need available.
  • The Levels the user will need available.

Each MDE Template for DSApp MUST have assigned Variables AND Levels.

MDE Templates without Levels assigned to them will NOT be available within DSApp.
