Glossary of Terms

| Freeway | The Native Software app installed on the Smartphone or Tablet. (Available on Android or IOS) |
| API | The bridging Software that connects Freeway to the Ostendo Database. (This is generally installed and configured on the server that Ostendo is installed on) |
| Freeway Solution | Typically only one Freeway solution is installed on the device. The Freeway solution is tied to the Mobility user. (ie: one solution per user). Multiple Freeway solutions can be configured on a device. This is useful in environments where multiple Freeway Users are accessing a common device. |
| Style Template | This is the structure of how Freeway will display the Datasheet on the device to the Freeway user. This is where we link items like Checklists, and specific options we wish the user to record eg: Times / Materials / Photos etc.. |
| Datasheet | This is the form that the Freeway user will record information on. It is initially created by the Freeway user on the device and will automatically be populated with the options specified from the Style Template. Once completed, the Freeway user would send this Datasheet back to Ostendo. eg: This means that you could have multiple datasheets being returned to Ostendo for the same job covering multiple visits. This would reflect each visit the Service Tech has made for that same job. |
| Style Template Matrix | This matrix holds the Style Templates that are made available to each Freeway user. This way you can control what Style Templates are available to that user. |
| Employee Mobility Settings | This equates to a Freeway users details held in Ostendo. Each Mobility user has security permissions set according to their role to control what that user may record in Freeway |
