Exploring the Android Tablet World

I recently purchased an Android tablet (Toshiba Thrive) to experiment on in the office. My first concern is making sure the Staff web site works well in the native browser. I am also starting to work on a mobile version of the Staff site which will be formatted better for smart phones.

Quick Result For Building Inspection Web Page

We had a request from a ZP SQL customer who uses the Staff web site in the field to update building inspections. Their idea was to add a way to quickly fill in most of the inspection detail field. To implement it we added a drop-down box on the web page where you can select the desired result (from a list of past result values used). Then you click on the "Quick Result" button and it automatically fills in the Result, Last Inspection date, and Inspector fields. This information is saved and the Notes field is opened in Edit mode waiting for input. This options save quite a few steps for busy building inspectors.
