The Mobile observations web definition is used to publish a module in the Planon Live app that enables users to add observations to the assets they are working with. For this reason, the app module also includes several search mechanisms to find assets in the database, such as filters and QR code scanning.

Linking an existing follow-up action means that the observation will be resolved by this follow-up action. Once the follow-up action is completed, the observation will be resolved.
* 
An existing or new Mobile observations-based module can be configured to suit your specific requirements, using Planon ProCenter's PSS2 technology. Due to the unique combination of a hard-coded app (shell) and standard Planon components and the fact that these are metadata driven, you have the option to either stick to the basic Mobile observations web definition and hardly do any configuration, or create a fully customized app.
