It would be useful to integrate weather data from online services. Weather has a significant impact on construction activities and is important to capture throughout the day. It would be useful to see temperature, wind speeds, humidity and general weather information. Weather data from an web service would also enable us to capture consistent information for analysis and reporting.

This would be extremely valuable functionality as we are not capturing Site diary records on FV.
This is not currently on the roadmap as a target for development. Other items such as sync, scheduled forms, and forms usability are higher ranking initiatives by the collective.
Any update when this will be implemented? We could really use this function on our forms.
This feature should automatically pull Weather and Wind information with Superior Accuracy from AccuWeather.
This saves time and captures much more detailed info than if recorded manually.
Ideally the weather would auto update reports and logs throughout the day, based on:
- Specified time intervals
- Significant changes in Temperature
- Significant changes in Wind speed
