How it Works¶

Setting up protocol templates in Lime Admin¶

Protocols are defined using Lime Admin.

What the admin interface looks like

Under the Actions heading you define which actions should be available for each protocol answer.

Where you add actions

The ability (action) to add a comment to each answer comes out-of-the-box. Just add the following to the config:

Where you add actions

If a protocol item is marked as mandatory, the user can't finish the work order without answering these items.

Mark an item as mandatory in Lime Admin How it looks in the web client

Protocols are shown in the web client as a new tab on the parent object that owns them, for example on work orders.

What the webclient looks like

The user can add several protocols and several "copies" of the same protocol. For instance, adding a security check every day.

Changes are saved automatically. The form debounces changes for about 1.7 seconds and saves rapid edits in a single request.

There is no manual Save button. Save feedback is shown inline, to the left of the Add button:

Saving... with a spinner while a save is in progress.
Saved directly after a successful save.
Saved just now and later Saved X minutes ago after successful saves.
No unsaved changes when the form is loaded and no changes have been saved in the current view session.
⚠️ Unable to save only when saving fails and there are unsaved changes.

Adding or deleting a protocol is also treated as a successful persisted change, so the status is updated to Saved just now after those operations.

Protocols added to a parent object is shown in the desktop client in the action pad together with the answers.
