Complete Monitoring Questions¶
Once a monitoring template has been selected, FieldOps automatically loads all of its sections and monitoring fields.
Field officers simply complete each question presented on the page. Responses are recorded against the visit and become part of its permanent record.
Monitoring Sections¶
Questions are grouped into sections to make large monitoring forms easier to complete.
For example:
Complete each section before moving to the next.
Responding to Questions¶
The type of response depends on how each monitoring field was configured.
You may be asked to:
- Enter short text
- Enter numbers
- Select a date
- Choose from a dropdown list
- Select a radio button
- Select multiple options
- Answer Yes or No
- Provide detailed observations
Each field is designed to capture information in the most appropriate format.
Required Questions¶
Some monitoring fields are marked as required.
Required fields must be completed before the visit can be created.
If a required field is left blank:
- The visit cannot be submitted.
- The field is highlighted.
- A validation message explains what needs to be completed.
Optional fields can be left blank if they are not applicable.
Validation¶
FieldOps validates responses before the visit is saved.
Validation helps ensure:
- Required information is provided.
- Numbers are entered in numeric fields.
- Dates are entered using the date picker.
- Responses match the selected field type.
This improves data quality and reporting accuracy.
Updating Responses¶
While creating a visit, you can update your responses at any time before saving.
Review each section carefully to ensure the information entered is complete and accurate.

If validation passes:
