The Builder

Compose consistent, structured descriptions from your standard terms.

The Builder helps you write long, structured text - like a soil or rock description - from your company's standard terms, so descriptions come out consistent and quick to enter.

When you see it

A field set up as a Builder field opens the Builder when you tap it, instead of a plain text box. Which fields use it is decided by your configuration.

Building a description

Pick a builder and category

Choose the Builder and Category for what you are describing. These come from your configuration and set which terms are offered.

Add your terms

Pick items from the List Names and List Items to build the description, in the order your standard calls for.

Tidy the text

Use the quick buttons for punctuation and common words, and the formatting helpers, to finish the wording.

Save

Tap the tick to drop the finished description back into the field. An undo is there if you need to step back.

Set up in Product OS

Builders and their categories are defined for your company in Product OS, so everyone describes to the same standard.
