But what is a field licence and how can it help?
Essentially, a field licence will allow a user to log into Clik Cert Electrical to fill in electrical certificates when out in the field. Unlike office licences, field licences will be assigned to specific users, meaning only that user will be able to log onto a field device.
Clik Cert Electrical Apps
Previously ‘Clik Elec Cert’, the iOS and Android apps allow engineers to create new 18th Edition NICEIC certificates, complying with the latest IET Wiring Regulations (including Amendment 2). They can also continue working on existing ones sent from the office on their smartphone or tablet. The app can work offline, making it easy to enter customer details, test results and add signatures. An internet connection will be required to sync certificates.
The ability to produce PDFs of draft certificates or circuit details schedule will also be introduced in builds 1.0.11 (iOS) and 1.0.9 (Android). These PDF features will allow users to save and email certificates directly from their device to their client or colleague.
What is Clik Cert Electrical for Windows?
The compatible apps have been around for a number of years, but what is Clik Cert Electrical for Windows? The release of the new NICEIC Cert Software also introduced a new way to access some of the certification features when out in the field.
Previously called Field Mode, Clik Cert Electrical for Windows is typically installed on a laptop. It gives you similar capabilities to the apps, with the benefits of a bigger screen and keyboard. Fill out certificates, apply templates and send it all back to the office program ready to be completed and emailed to your client. It provides a secure connection to your database, keeping your data safe.
Field Users
A ‘field user’ will be able to access Clik Cert Electrical on Windows or the apps. Which is best for your business? That will depend on what kind of devices your engineers have access to when out in the field.
You can grant field licences to any of your users within the office program, so long as a field licence is available. Within the staff tab, you can see how many field licences you have on your account. It will also show you how many are actively being used. Got a field user that no longer needs to access the software on-the-go? You can also revoke licences to ensure the right users can get the access they need.
With the introduction of Cloud Numbering features coming soon in upcoming builds, field users will be able to apply numbers and complete certificates when out in the field, without the need to upload them back to the office. You will be able to control what Field Users can do when using Clik Cert Electrical. These user privileges found in the office software will make sure every engineer has access to what they need.
What’s more, you get your first field licence for free with active Clik Cover, the first year of which is included when you purchase the office software. This means you can give one user the ability to fill in certificates onsite using Clik Cert Electrical.
Contact your account manager to review your licensing or ask any questions about the software.
