About this screenshot

Captured at a 1440 x 900 desktop viewport at 2x in a demonstration workspace, cropped to the answers column (the record’s right column names the submitting user).

Completed MapTrack inspection with eight of eight answers: hydraulic hoses Fail, guards Pass, fitting Repaired, sleeve Replaced, track wear Monitor and lights Satisfactory, plus defect and recheck notes.

Read the defect, action taken and recheck together

The original hydraulic check remains Fail. The saved answers record the resealed fitting, replaced sleeve and a recheck with no leak, while track wear remains marked Monitor. All eight answers were checked after reopening the submission.

About this screenshot

Genuine answer-panel crop from a completed demonstration inspection. The repair outcomes are recorded answers; the linked corrective task has a separate status.

Pass and Satisfactory show in green, Fail in red and Monitor in amber. Repaired is blue and Replaced is purple, so you can see the work recorded alongside the original problem. N/A is grey.

Read the answer as well as its colour. A red No or an amber Monitor answer isn't automatically counted as a failed check. Repaired and Replaced are recorded form answers; a linked task has its own status.

Turn the form into a repeatable field workflow

Build the questions once, decide where the form appears and check what happens after submission. A saved answer, an alert and a corrective job are separate parts of the workflow.

  1. 1. Start from your existing material

    Create a form manually or use AI to prepare a draft from a PDF, Word document, spreadsheet, CSV, text or image. Review every field, required answer and instruction before activating it.

  2. 2. Choose defaults and applicability

    Set fixed starting values on supported fields, then configure the asset categories and actions where the form is required, optional or hidden. A default is a starting value to check, not evidence that an inspection passed.

  3. 3. Control the follow-up

    Configure an automation for the relevant submitted result when you want an email or task. Test a matching and non-matching submission, then inspect the automation History and the created record.

  4. 4. Keep the submission with the right record

    Review the completed answers, attachments and submission identifier on the asset, person or location record. Restrict submission visibility to the appropriate roles and export the submissions when you need a separate working file.

Setup and limits

  • Form creation and AI generation need a connection. Load the forms needed for offline field work before leaving coverage.
  • Submission history and exports require a connection. A failed answer creates a follow-up only when the relevant automation is configured.

Record several observations in one form

Use a multiple-answer group when the same questions apply to several items or observations. Add each entry, review the answers, then check the saved submission.

  1. 1. Start with a repeatable group

    Open a form that has a multiple-answer group. Follow its instructions so each entry describes one item or observation.

  2. 2. Add and review the entries

    Complete the first answer, then choose Add another entry. The new entry opens while earlier entries collapse. Expand an earlier answer to read or correct it.

  3. 3. Check before removing an entry

    Choose Remove only when the entry should go. Read the confirmation and choose Cancel if you need to keep it or check it first.

  4. 4. Submit and reopen the result

    Review the entries, submit the form, then open the saved submission from the asset record. Check that the intended answers are there.

Setup and limits

  • The form needs a multiple-answer group. Other questions do not become repeatable automatically.
  • Collapsing an entry only changes the view. It does not submit the form.

Reopen the saved form and check each answer

The saved submission contains three separate observations and one summary. It was reopened from the asset record to check that all three answers were retained.

Check the week’s forms and follow up on gaps

See who’s submitted forms, then open the records behind the activity. Weekly Completion gives you a starting point for following up with the crew about pre starts, inspections and other checks.

  1. 1. Choose the week you’re reviewing

    As an account admin, open Forms > Reporting. Use the week controls to review the current week or one of the previous four weeks. Keep the selected dates with any follow-up.

  2. 2. Choose the form activity

    Use All, Asset, Location or Person to focus the view. The menu also lets you show weekends and inactive users when they’re relevant to the review.

  3. 3. Read counts and Rate in context

    Participation is the percentage of all account members with at least one submission that week, even when inactive users are hidden. Each day shows submission activity, while Rate counts elapsed displayed days with at least one submission. Check which days are included before comparing people or weeks.

  4. 4. Open the forms behind the activity

    Open a day with submissions, then choose a submission to review its answers. Check the form, date and linked record before following up on a missing check or an answer that needs attention.

Setup and limits

  • A day with several submissions counts once towards Rate. Future days are excluded, and showing weekends changes the days included.
  • Participation and Rate describe submission activity. They don’t establish that every required inspection was completed or passed.
  • Reporting and submission history need a connection. Check the selected week, form type and user visibility before treating a blank view as no activity.

Export the submissions you need for a review

Give the office a working file of completed answers. Choose the form and period first, then check the export scope so the file matches the review you’re doing.

  1. 1. Open the form’s Submissions tab

    From Forms, open the form you want to review and choose Submissions. Check that you’re working with the right form before exporting its answers.

  2. 2. Set the search and dates

    Use the submission search and date range to narrow the list. Open View details on a submission if you need to check its subject, submitter or answers before including it.

  3. 3. Choose format and scope

    Choose Export to open Export Form Submissions, then select CSV or Excel. Choose Yes under Limit data to your current filter? for the filtered selection. Use No, export all form submissions only when you need the full history for that form.

  4. 4. Open and check the file

    Choose Export, then open the downloaded file. Check the form, dates and included submissions before using it in a meeting or sharing it with the office. Keep the reporting period with the file.

Setup and limits

  • The export scope is an explicit choice. Filtering the list does not by itself confirm that you’ve chosen a filtered export.
  • Completed submissions, blank paper forms and Weekly Completion answer different questions. Use the submission file when you need the recorded answers.
Export Form Submissions dialog with CSV selected, Excel available and Yes selected for Limit data to your current filter.

Keep the export to the selected submissions

Choose CSV or Excel, then select Yes to keep the export to the current filter. No, export all form submissions includes the form’s full submission history instead.

Export settings for a demonstration pre-start form. The saved file should be checked for the expected records, fields and dates before it is shared.

Keep a paper back-up when the crew needs one

Admins can download a blank form to print. Check the questions and print scaling before handing it out, then keep or attach the completed copy as your organisation requires. A paper copy isn't a saved digital submission. See how to download and print a blank form.

Create, attach and complete. One source of truth

Create forms with AI or from scratch, or start from one of our ready-made templates. Use them for assets, people or locations. Your crew completes checks on mobile or tablet, with photos, notes and sign-off where the form asks for them. Configure an automation when a submitted answer needs to create corrective tasks.

Keeping SAP, Oracle, Pronto Xi, Maximo or Dynamics as the system of record? Review the ERP field operations reference architecture before treating form evidence exchange as a live connector.

AI form creation

Start with an AI draft, then check the details

Upload an existing form or describe the inspection you need. MapTrack prepares the fields and structure for you to review. Check the questions, answer options, required fields and logic before publishing it for the crew.

In each choice question's Options, use a consistent set such as Pass / Fail / N/A or Satisfactory / Monitor / Repaired / Replaced. MapTrack recognises these inspection sets and applies the answer colours. You can still use your own options for other questions.

Review the AI-generated inspection before publishing

AI prepared the two sections and eight questions from a written description. Review the answer options and requirements before publishing. This is the setup draft for the completed example; its title was shortened to Plant inspection during review.

Follow the issue into a corrective task

Keep the follow-up with the original inspection. Check who is handling the issue, when the task is due and what work has been recorded before treating it as resolved.

  1. 1. Set the follow-up rule

    If a submitted answer should create a task, configure and test a form-submission automation. Choose the matching result, assignee, priority and due date. An answer colour by itself does not create a job.

  2. 2. Open the linked task

    Use Linked tasks on the submission to open the follow-up. Check its status and assignment. The task links back to the form submission so the person doing the work can read the original answers.

  3. 3. Record the work

    Keep the repair notes and supporting files with the task. Record any recheck your procedure requires so the next person can understand what was done.

  4. 4. Review the result

    Read the original inspection alongside the linked task status. Completing the task keeps the original Fail answer in the saved inspection.

Check that the corrective task is completed

The failed hydraulic answer created this corrective task through a configured automation. The repair note and recheck were recorded, then the task was completed. The original Fail answer stays in the saved inspection.

Complete the check where the work happens

Your crew can complete forms on a phone or tablet and reopen the saved answers against the asset, person or location. Photos, signatures and notes stay with the submission when those fields are part of the form. Load the forms and app data you need before leaving coverage; supported offline submissions sync when you reconnect.

  • The photo and signature are saved with the pre-start and printed on its PDF.
  • Where a site has a geofence, the form suggests that site when the operator starts the pre-start inside it, as a one-tap You are here choice.
  • When the phone shares its location, the saved pre-start records where it was submitted: a pin on a map that also draws your site geofences, the street address, and the GPS coordinates in its PDF.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. You build inspection forms in MapTrack, or have AI draft one from your existing form, and crews fill them in on a phone or tablet against an asset, a location or a person. Saved answers show recognised pass, fail and monitor colours, with a summary of any failed checks.

Upload an existing form or describe what you need. MapTrack prepares a draft with fields and structure. Review the questions, options, required fields and logic, then publish it for the relevant assets, people or locations.

AI form creation helps replicate your layout from PDF. You can also build forms from scratch with the form builder. We can discuss your requirements.

Yes, when you configure a form-submission automation for the relevant answer. The resulting task links to the submission so the person doing the work can read the original inspection. Answer colours do not create tasks by themselves. Creating or updating a work order in an external ERP requires a separate custom integration.

Recognised inspection sets use text and colour together: Pass, Safe, Compliant and Satisfactory are green; Fail, At risk and Non-compliant are red; Monitor and Improvement required are amber; Repaired is blue; Replaced is purple; N/A is grey. Yes and No are also coloured, but No is not automatically a failure. Needs attention lists recognised failing single-choice answers, not every red or amber response.

Account admins can open Forms > Reporting for Weekly Completion. Choose the week and use All, Asset, Location or Person to review the relevant form activity. Open a day with submissions to inspect the completed forms behind the count.

Rate is the share of elapsed days shown in the view on which a person has submitted at least one form. Today is included and future days are excluded. Several forms on one day still count as one submitted day. Weekdays are shown by default; including weekends changes which days count.

No. Participation is the percentage of all account members who submitted at least one form during the selected week. Hiding inactive users doesn’t change that denominator. Rate shows days with submissions. To check required inspections, review the actual forms, equipment, dates and answers against the checks your organisation requires.

Open the form, choose Submissions and set the search or date filters you need. Choose Export, then CSV or Excel. Select Yes under Limit data to your current filter? to export that selection. Choose No, export all form submissions only when you want the form’s full submission history.

MapTrack is designed for field use with offline support. Forms can be completed in low-connectivity areas and sync when back online.

Yes. Scan QR, barcode and Data Matrix labels with the phone camera or a handheld Bluetooth or USB scanner to open the asset’s record, where crews complete its pre-starts and inspections.

Yes. Completed forms sit on each asset’s record with its location, bookings and maintenance, so an inspection, the job it led to and the asset’s history are in one place.

Yes. A failed answer can raise a linked work order through a rule you set. Completed inspections show recognised pass, fail and monitor colours.

Yes. MapTrack runs shared phones and tablets in workstation mode, with a personal four-digit PIN for each person, so every check is recorded against the right person. Pre-starts and inspections complete without signal and sync when the device reconnects.
