What’s changing and why:
We're phasing out the old Check and Checkbox fields in Gearbelt. These will be replaced with the new Pass/Fail (or Pass/Fail/NA) fields.
This change makes forms simpler and prepares them for upcoming improvements like offline mode in the Sitemate Mobile App.
Action required:
Remove any Check or Checkbox fields from your forms.
Replace them with Pass/Fail (or Pass/Fail/NA) fields.
Save your form as normal.
💡 Hint: Forms that need updating will display a warning icon.
⚠️ Important:
If your forms are not updated by the end of September 2025, we’ll automatically convert them to Pass/Fail (or Pass/Fail/NA) fields. When this happens, any custom labels you applied will not be transferred across.
FAQs
What happens to my historical data?
All historical records will be preserved.What if I used custom labels (e.g. “OK / Fix / Needs review”)?
These will need to be converted to standard Pass/Fail/NA values. This means you may need to reword some of your check questions so they make sense with the new field type. If you’d like help restructuring your forms, please reach out to our Customer Success team.
