How it works
Key features
Access and create Defects on site using the mobile/tablet app
Add photos and videos to the form while on site
Attach and markup PDFs using the mobile app
Instantly and automatically notify the right person as it's signed off, so they can sign off the next step (and do so remotely if preferred)
Automatically generate a register of all Defects, with ability to filter by category, type, status, date, person
Download Defect records onto professional, company-branded PDFs
Best practices
Setup your Defect template as workflows to clarify and standardise the steps in your defect management process
Setup workflow notifications at each step in the workflow to notify the right person at the right time (instantly)
Include a photo field so that visual evidence/records can be attached
Use list fields where appropriate, to make filtering the register easy (eg. type of defect, package, status), and allow you to identify patterns over time using the analytics chart filters and breakdown options.
Include a text field for defect title/description, then in the template builder settings, display this title/description field on the form thumbnail
