Problem/Question
Whats the difference or the advantage of using the SmartPhone App WinCan Mobile or manually entering and recording manhole data via the pipe inspection software WinCanVX?
Solution/Answer
The usage of WinCan Mobile App always requires a WinCanWeb account with the FLEX mode activated. Once the account data are saved on your mobile device (SmartPhone or tablett computer) you can create a project, enter manhole data, link video clips and photos to each manhole and finally upload it to your workspace on the WinCan CLOUD.
The FLEX mode then allows the user to complete the manhole data and create the reports directly on the CLOUD.
