What's changing
To prepare for the upcoming Gearbelt and Sitemate Mobile integration, which will bring offline mode and a single-app experience for field workers, we need to make a small change to how form fields are structured.
Currently, some fields have both a label and a description box. From Monday, 13 October, the texts in the description will be migrated into the label, and the description box will be removed for some fields.
This ensures all fields match the Sitemate products' structure, so forms work seamlessly both in Dashpivot and Gearbelt, from the Sitemate mobile app.

What this means for you
Please review your forms - in some cases, labels may need a quick adjustment to stay clear after the migration
If you've added text in a description field, it will be moved automatically into the label
If you haven't added anything in the description box, it will simply be removed, so no action is needed
Timeline
Now: you can already update your forms manually if you prefer
Monday 13 October: migration will run automatically; all affected forms will be updated
Next steps
You don’t need to do anything unless you want to double-check your forms. If you have any questions or run into an issue, you can reach out to your customer success manager directly.
