Asta Siteprogress Mobile
Asta Siteprogress Mobile enables on-site reporting of progress against tasks and build stages in Asta Powerproject projects, using a mobile device. Asta Siteprogress Mobile can be used either with Asta Enterprise, or with a non-Enterprise Asta Powerproject client.
Asta Siteprogress Mobile administrators use the Site Progress tab on the Backstage view in Asta Powerproject to export information from Asta Powerproject projects to Asta Siteprogress Mobile, and to import information back into the Asta Powerproject projects once progress has been recorded and submitted. If Asta Siteprogress Mobile is configured to require approval, administrators accept or reject the progress that has been recorded by Asta Siteprogress Mobile users. Any progress that is rejected is not imported into the Asta Powerproject project. Administrators also use the Site Progress tab to configure the way in which Asta Siteprogress Mobile operates.
The freely-downloadable Asta Siteprogress Mobile app is used by on-site progress reporters to record the progress of tasks and build stages from a remote location using a mobile device. Although the mobile devices must have a valid internet connection (either via a cellular network or via Wi-Fi®) to receive and submit project information at the start and end of each working period, Asta Siteprogress Mobile does not require an internet connection to be available all the time, which enables it to be used in locations with little or no network coverage or Wi-Fi availability. There are two versions of the Asta Siteprogress Mobile app: one suitable for use with Android™ mobile devices and one suitable for use with iOS® mobile devices.
