About

Field workers are often required to submit a report before they leave a jobsite, and/or are required to submit a report of their daily activities to a project manager.
These types of reports are created in Field - Field Reports area.  Field reports can also be set to bypass QC - Field Reports by using the "Send Field Reports To" setting on the Report Type record. Settings can be changed in the Reports - Settings area (discrete reports) or in Report Designer (custom reports).

There is also a Field Reports area in Quality Control.  Reports created in Field-Field Reports can be accessed in Quality Control  Field Reports.
While Field Reports can be e-mailed from Field, a Field Report is not considered Finalized until marked and sent to Delivery as such in Quality Control.
