How to use the desk
RAMS Road Desk keeps every reading on the phone you are holding. It does not store those readings on the website. There is no repair price to enter.
Step 1
Save both emails
Your email is who the reading is from. The other email is where the Excel file should be sent. Both stay on this phone, so the next visit does not ask again unless you change them.
Step 2
Choose the place
Search the city, town, or hamlet once. The next time you open the desk, that place is already selected. Choosing a different place starts a separate report and leaves the first town on the phone.
Step 3
Set the cycle
Enter the first and last date for this pass. A small community may be one day. A larger one may be several days, driven in sections. Only readings inside those dates count for this cycle.
Step 4
Drive
Open Drive and allow location. The map follows the phone. Tap Good, Cracking, or Pothole. A street with no reading stays Good until someone records something else.
Step 5
Send the Excel file
On the Desk, choose Send the file. That saves a mail message with the Excel file already attached. Open RAMS-Road-Desk-message and press Send. Do not use a blank mail message and expect the file to be there.
Open Help for the map, the cycle, and what Good means before a street is recorded.
