Introduction
Conducting geotechnical inspections and reports enables geotech engineers and teams to record site and earth conditions and ground conditions and pass on important recommendations on how project works can best proceed safely.
Documenting, organising and tracking these inspections and reports can be done easily and efficiently with Dashpivot. Instead of documenting inspections with paper or word docs, reconciling the information and data in spreadsheets, and then passing on recommendations through email - Dashpivot enables engineers to get all of this work done inside of a single platform.
This means less admin and work and better collaboration for geotechs and project teams. The outcomes of this improved work process is a tighter communication and feedback loop between inspections and reporting and decision making - which improves the decisions being made, and the results of those decisions.

How offline mode works
Key Features
Standardise your inspection reports across your team/workforce
Access and fill out reports on site using the Dashpivot mobile app (also available for tablets) - even when you are offline, or don't have a wifi or cellular connection
Attach photos on the spot while filling out the form in the app
Automatically generate a register of all your inspection reports
Quickly filter and find inspection records
Easily see how many inspections were filled out over a specified time period eg. last month
Best Practices
Include a photo field so that photos and videos can be attached to the inspection form
Use list fields where applicable (eg. area), to make it easy to find records later via the register view, and filter by the list items on any analytics charts
In the template settings, make sure the forms are sorted by the inspection date on the form (not the creation date)
In the template settings, set the form thumbnail to display the zone/area of the inspection if working on a large site, or a chainage/cut reference
