Functionality

The hazard comment workflow module allows users to enter a free-form description of the current avalanche problems and the resulting avalanche hazard. It is intended as a low-tech alternative to the Hazard assessment module. It is only possible to have either single hazard comment or a single hazard assessment step in your workflow, not both.

Any workflow template with a hazard comment module step will automatically have a Context module step added at the beginning of the workflow.

Any workflow template with a hazard comment module step will automatically have a Workflow summary step added at the end of the workflow. This summary allows users to review their observations and assessments before they are submitted to the InfoEx.

The assessments submitted to the InfoEx via the hazard comment module are associated with the location specified in the entry form of the individual observation.

It is possible to complete the hazard comment step in a workflow without internet connectivity.
