Quick Observation Register
Capture data in less than 10 seconds
Overview
The Observation Register module is designed for maximum speed and minimum friction. The goal is for you to be able to record an observation in less than 10 seconds, without interrupting your workflow.
Target recording time per observation
Registration Flow
You receive a notification
Or open the observation manually
Observe the worker
What are they doing now?
Select the task
One tap and done
Registered!
Automatically saved
Registration Interface
When opening a pending observation, you will see:
Context Information
- Work station: Pre-selected according to the plan
- Scheduled time: The original observation moment
- Current time: For reference
Task List
Tasks are shown as large, easy-to-tap buttons, organized by category:
- Green: Productive tasks
- Red: Non-productive tasks
- Yellow: Delays
Optional Fields
After selecting the task, you can add additional information:
| Field | Description | When to use it |
|---|---|---|
| Pace rating | Performance rating (60-80 or 100-133 scale) | For studies with activity factor |
| Notes | Free text for additional observations | Unusual situations or important details |
Offline Mode
Recording works 100% offline. This is critical in industrial environments where connectivity can be limited.
✅ Online

📴 Offline
- • Data is saved locally
- • Accumulates in sync queue
- • Uploads automatically when reconnected
Edit Observations
If you made a mistake, you can edit any registered observation:
- Go to the "Plan" tab of the study
- Find the observation (marked in green)
- Tap to open it
- Modify the selected task
- Save changes
💡 Pro tip
Record the observation immediately after performing it. Data accuracy decreases if you try to remember what the worker was doing minutes later.
Missed Observations
If you could not perform an observation at the scheduled time:
- The observation is marked as "Pending"
- You can register it later with an explanatory note
- Or leave it as missed (does not significantly affect the study if there are few)
⚠️ Important
A study's validity depends on the achieved sample size and the resulting margin of error, not on a fixed percentage of completed observations. Missing a few observations is normal: always state how many were recorded.
Mobile-Optimized Interface
The recording screen is designed for one-handed use:
- Large buttons: Easy to tap with your thumb
- Distinctive colors: Quick category identification
- Minimal scrolling: All info visible
- Haptic feedback: Vibration on confirmation
- Intuitive gestures: Swipe for quick actions
Automatic Timestamps
Each observation automatically records:
- Scheduled time: When it was supposed to be done
- Registration time: When it was actually recorded
This allows analyzing observer punctuality and detecting potential biases.
