Introduction

Inspection test plans (ITP's) and quality checklists are two of the central mechanisms for documenting and tracking quality on your jobs - and are both critical to maintaining the quality of your work and projects.

But completing and approving ITP's and checklists has been an admin nightmare in the past. With multiple parties involved and a multi-stage approval process, the coordination and communication required to efficiently move ITP's and checklists through the chain of stakeholders has become complicated and inefficient with word docs, excel docs and PDF's.

Dashpivot is the new way to document, organise and approve your ITP's and quality checklists. Entirely digital documents give you the ability to complete and signoff on ITP's and checklists quickly and easily on mobile or tablet directly on site.

If setup as a workflow: once signed off, your approved ITP's and checklists (when approval is required) are automatically sent with a notification to the person who is responsible for signing off next. These simple automated workflows remove the communication headaches of ITP approval and bring new control and stronger record and audit trails to all of your quality documents.

How it works

Key features

  • Access and fill out Checklists on site on your mobile/tablet

  • Attach photos while filling it out the checklist

  • Attach PDFs to forms, and mark them up using the app

  • Automatically generate a register of all your Checklists, with ability to edit and rearrange columns

  • Ability to quickly export all forms for submission

Best practices

  • If you want to add structure to your ITP and VC processes, you can setup the template as a workflow and configure some notifications

  • Setup your checklist items using a table field (make sure you select the prefilled table option)

  • In the table, add columns for Photos and Attachments to add evidence specific to each line item

  • Add a text field for Lot number, then in the template builder, choose to display this lot number field on the form thumbnail
