OpsLogic Admin Screen Explained | OpsAnalitica University

A couple of basic tenants of OpsLogic:

You will see the OpsLogic Admin screen broken up into sections on the left hand side of the screen.
- Question Set
- Question Response
- Bool Question Response
These sections are based on the different parts of a Question Set or Question Type:
- Not every rule is available for every part of the platform.
- The rules in different sections can run at different times while completing a checklist.
- Question Set rules only apply to the Question Set as a whole.
- Bool Question Response Rules only apply to True False Questions.
You will also see sub-sections for Rules and Scripts
- Rules: Are enabled and function today.
  - Rules work on the device that you are using to complete the checklist.
  - They work in real-time, whether you are connected to the internet or not.
- Scripts: do not function today and are there as a placeholder for future development.
  - Scripts will only work on the server when you submit a checklist.
  - You can ignore Scripts at this time.
Rule run times:
- When a checklist loads all the rules on the checklist are run as it loads.
  - That is how we can turn questions on and off based on attributed in the system.
    This is the heart of Dynamic Checklists.
- Other rules run when a button is pushed or data is entered into the question.
  - These are your standard rules that require a comment when you press False.
- Questions that have Calculated Checked, those rules run every time the screen is touched so they are constantly running and updating.
- On Submit every rule on the question set is run one last time as the checklist is being submitted.
  - That is how you can ensure that if a new question was added after you started the checklist and it was required that the person would have to answer it.
Rule Attributes:
- In databases and in programming, the different values you are collecting have different hard and fast rules. Text is different than numbers and bools.
- There are hard and fast rules around what you can do with those different values and that is why we break them up by the data you are collecting.

OpsLogic Sections Explained:

Rule Types	Explanation
Question Set	These rules only work at the Question set Level. These rules get run when you submit the checklist. These rules apply to the entire checklist Examples: Rules that tag a response set with a Pass-Fail Tag. Rules that recalculate the score of a checklist. Rules that stop a User without the correct tags from submitting a checklist.
Question Response	Do you remember from the building Checklist article how we discussed the Common Elements that all questions possess? These rules only apply to those common elements. Examples: Question Text Possible Score Tags Examples: These are great for Visibility rules where you are looking for a Location or User Tag to make a question visible because all question types can use this. Instead of building the same Visibility rule as a Bool and a Number that looks for a Location tag, which is extra unnecessary work, you can just build it once and use it on any question type.
Bool Question Response	Bool stands for True False. Bool Question Response rules only work on True False Questions. They are looking for a True, False, or Non-Applicable Response.
Decimal Question Response	Decimal stands for number. Every number that we capture in the system is by definition a decimal number type. These rules only work on Number and Multiple Choice Number questions. They can only evaluate numbers. Examples: We can evaluate a response in a range or if it is =, >,<, >=, or <= to a variable. We can do equations on numbers likes sums, differences, quotients, etc.. We can pretty much do anything you would do in a spreadsheet in a checklist.
String Question Response	String stands for text. These rules only work on Text and Multiple Choice Text questions. Examples: At the most basic level we can see if there was text in the answer field. We can do exact case text matching. We can look for answer values and take action.
Attachement Question Response	Attachment stands for a photo or document attachment. These rules work on Attachment Picture and Attachment Document questions. We can only determine if an attachment was submitted, we cannot evaluate the attachment for content or type.
Date Time Question Response	Date Time stands for a response of a date and time. These rules only work on Date Time questions We can evaluate some attributes of date time.
Date Question Response	The date stands for a response to date. These rules only work on Date questions We can evaluate some attributes of the date.
Time Question Response	The time stands for a response to date. These rules only work on Time questions We can evaluate some attributes of the date.
Duration Question Response	The duration stands for a response of duration. These rules only work on duration questions We can evaluate some attributes of the duration.
No Response	No response questions are different than the other question types because they don't have a value that is being captured and they don't have tags. You can still build rules for them similarly to the Question Response or Common Element Rules. Ex: You could have two No Response Questions with different directions on them and make one visible based on a location tag. Maybe non-trad locations get a different set of instructions than trad location and you could trigger that question visibility off of the location's tag.
