Approving or rejecting field evidence information
When a Mobile user has submitted a job that includes field evidence items relating to a project, the Administrator users receive an email informing them that they must review the user's field evidence information. An Administrator user must approve the field evidence items for a project before the corresponding job can be imported into Asta Powerproject and before a field evidence report can be produced for the plots in the project.
Reviewing field evidence information is a separate process to reviewing progress information, and it takes place within Asta Siteprogress Mobile itself.
To review field evidence information as an Administrator user:
- Launch the Asta Siteprogress Mobile app and sign in as an Administrator user. You see a list of projects with field evidence that needs to be reviewed. A
icon against a project indicates that the project has field evidence that needs to be reviewed. - Tap the project for which you want to review field evidence. Asta Siteprogress Mobile downloads the field evidence photographs that have been taken - this may take some time, depending on how many photographs have been taken as evidence - then displays list of the tasks within the project, grouped by plot. A
icon against a task indicates that the task has field evidence that needs to be reviewed. - Tap the task for which you want to review field evidence. The Details tab of the Task Progress screen appears.
- Tap the Field Evidence tab. You see a list of field evidence items that have been collected for the task. A
icon against an item indicates that the item has not yet been reviewed. - Tap a field evidence item that you want to review. The Evidence Item screen appears, displaying the photograph was taken as evidence for this item, along with information on where and when the photograph was taken, and who it was taken by.
- Tap the Photo Review tab in the lower section of the screen. For evidence items that are yet to be reviewed, 'Requires Review' appears in the Status field.
- You can now approve or reject the evidence item:
- To approve an evidence item, tap the Status field and select 'Approved'. The item is approved and you return to the Field Evidence tab of the Task Progress screen, where a
icon now appears against the item to indicate that it has been approved. - To reject an evidence item, tap the Status field and select 'Rejected', then enter or select a reason for the rejection reason in the Rejection Reason field. For example, you may want to reject an item because the photograph is too blurred. The item is rejected and you return to the Field Evidence tab of the Task Progress screen, where a
icon now appears against the item to indicate that it has been rejected.
If you enter a new rejection reason in the Rejection Reason field, that reason then becomes available for you to select in the field the next time you reject an item.
- To approve an evidence item, tap the Status field and select 'Approved'. The item is approved and you return to the Field Evidence tab of the Task Progress screen, where a
- Repeat steps 5 to 7 to approve or reject the remaining field evidence items that have yet to be reviewed.
- Tap

. - Follow steps 3 to 9 to approve or reject field evidence items for the remaining tasks.
- Once you have finished reviewing field evidence for a project's tasks, you can submit your approvals and rejections. To do this, tap
to display the menu then tap Submit.
If you reject one or more evidence items, the Mobile user will see that they have been rejected when they next swipe down to refresh the Projects screen. They can then re-take the photographs for the rejected items and resubmit the evidence items for approval again.
All field evidence items that have been submitted by a Mobile user for a project must have been approved before the corresponding job can be imported into Asta Powerproject.
