SMART Compliance

User interface

SMART Compliance opens on the home screen, which shows the available software modules. Selecting any of these modules will open it for use.


User interface layout

The compliance check modules in SMART Compliance all have a similar user-interface layout, with specific options provided for each module. The overall layout is described here, with the specific options for each module explained later in this guide.

The page is divided into two sections:

  • The display panel on the lefthand side.
  • The input panel on the righthand side.

Layouts are Flexible

Note that the layouts of these sections adapt to fit onto smaller devices such as phones.

You can navigate each of these panels using the tabs at the top. The options for the display and input panels will vary depending on which module is selected, but in general, a map is displayed for selecting the site location, followed by a preview of the scaffolding while entering its dimensions.

Each input field provides a pop-up help icon:

Pressing this button will offer you useful information about the input required:

Pressing the Calculate button performs the compliance check calculation and displays the result in a report:

A summary report is typically displayed, with some modules providing options to view a detailed report with the calculations behind the compliance checks:

The compliance report can then be downloaded as a Word or PDF document by selecting the appropriate icon. The report will be saved to your Downloads folder.


Saving your work

SMART Compliance can simply be used to generate compliance and calculation reports by entering the site location and scaffold dimensions, then downloading the report.

However, if you wish, you can also save your work for later. Your work is saved to the SMART Scaffolder Cloud, so you can access it across your devices, even when out of the office.

Shared to the Enterprise Server

Your SMART Scaffolder Cloud folder is shared with teammates in your company.

To save your work, select the Save icon, or select Save As if you wish to save a copy with a different name or in a different Cloud folder:

This will present the Save the file screen, where you can enter the name of the file and press Save.

If you wish, you can create folders using the icon.

If you make a mistake, you can use the icon to rename a file or folder, or you can use the icon to delete it.

You can reorganise your files by dragging and dropping them into another folder, or you can use the move icon to select a folder to move a file into.

You can only rename empty cloud folders

Note that a practical limitation has been imposed where only empty Cloud folders can be renamed, so if you wish to rename a folder with files in it, it may be simplest to create a new folder and move the files across.


Loading and resuming your work

You can load your previously saved files from the Open icon, either in the main application header or within each module:

If you choose the Open icon from the main application header, you can choose a file from any of the compliance modules (independent scaffolding, birdcage, loading bay, and so on) and SMART Compliance will open that module and load the file.

If you choose the Open icon from within a module, the file list will be filtered to only allow you to open files relevant to it:

The Open a file screen is similar to the screen for saving a file. Select the file you want and press Open:

The Open a file screen also provides the icon to upload a file from your computer that was created in a previous version of SMART Compliance, before the introduction of the SMART Scaffolder Cloud.

To upload a file from your computer, select this icon, browse for the file and it will be uploaded into the selected folder.

Where can I upload the file?

Note that, for practical reasons, the upload option is only available from the main Open a file screen opened from the application header.

It is not available from the filtered version available from within each module.
