App Structure

The app is designed to serve as a training platform. We provide fundamental steps that you can leverage to develop your training applications. If the training is theoretical, users can utilize the PDF Instruction or Video steps. For practical training, the Image or PDF steps can be used.

The first step of the application displays relevant information for the training. Here, you can also list training prerequisites. For instance, in the case of practical training, one requirement could be that the trainee should have all the spare parts needed for the session. The training ID and description are loaded into the placeholder on app start.

The next step can be included in the application if you intend to create a practical training session. In such a case, you can ask the user to select the relevant material for the training.

From this step, the user can navigate either to a step without assembly instructions (for a blind assembly) or to a step featuring the necessary instructions.
The app includes three different types of instruction steps: Image Instructions, PDF Instructions, and Video Instructions. You can select the type of instruction that best fits your training requirements and delete the rest. It also features a PDF with Copilot step, from which the user can ask questions using the pre-uploaded PDF document.

Once the user has completed their training, they can carry out a self-assessment. The assessment questions need to be predefined. In the final step, users can view their test results. The app is designed such that supervisor approval is necessary to complete the training. Based on their test records, users can decide whether to seek supervisor approval to sign off on the training, or they can retake the training as many times as they wish.

Options for connecting the app with other applications
