How to Fill an Inspection Test Checklist Using Storm AI Form Fill in Dashpivot

Learn how to use Storm AI Form Fill to capture inspection findings from voice recordings and photos and draft your ITC automatically.

Written by Nina Yang

Inspection test checklists need accurate field-by-field records of what was checked, the result, and any observations — often captured in conditions where stopping to type isn't practical. Storm lets you record your findings on the go, attach photos of test results, and drafts the checklist for you.

Just capture what you see and say, and Storm fills the ITC — ready for you to review and sign off.

What Storm Can Do With Inspection Test Checklists

  • Draft checklist entries from a voice recording captured on site — no manual write-up required

  • Read photos of test results via OCR and map readings to the correct checklist fields

  • Attach test certificates or permit documents for Storm to cross-reference when filling the form

  • Reference a previous ITC in the same folder to carry over inspection scope or recurring items

  • Handle multilingual crews — Storm detects spoken language and outputs in the template's destination language

Before You Start

  • AI Form Fill must be enabled for your workspace.

  • Capture your observations on site first — voice notes and photos work best as inputs.

  • If referencing a previous ITC or hold point record, make sure both forms are in the same Dashpivot folder before running AI Form Fill.

How to Do It

📱 On Dashpivot Mobile

  1. Open your ITC form in Dashpivot Mobile.

  2. Tap the Storm button at the bottom of the form to open the AI Form Fill canvas.

  3. Tap the microphone and record your inspection findings — include what was checked, the result (pass/fail, conforming/non-conforming), and any observations.

    For example: "Reinforcement spacing confirmed at 200mm centres, cover checked at 40mm minimum — conforming. No non-conformances observed."

  4. Attach photos of test results or site conditions using the photo icon.

  5. Tap the green arrow to submit.

  6. Review the draft Storm generates, make any corrections, and submit as normal.

💻 On Dashpivot Web

  1. Open your ITC form in Dashpivot.

  2. In the Storm AI Form Fill canvas at the bottom of the form, record your findings or type them out.

  3. Attach photos or relevant documents (e.g. test certificates, permits) using the paperclip icon.

  4. Click Fill ↑.

  5. Review the draft, make any corrections, and save or submit manually.

✏️ Good to Know

  • Use pass/fail or conforming/non-conforming language in your recording. This helps Storm map results accurately to the correct checklist fields.

  • Photos of test results are processed via OCR. For readings like slump tests or gauge measurements, shoot flat and square-on in good light for best accuracy.

  • Reference a previous ITC. Mention it in your directive — for example, "use the same inspection scope as last week's ITC" — and Storm will draw on that form's content. Storm cites which form it referenced. Both forms must be in the same Dashpivot folder.

  • Multilingual crews? Storm detects the spoken language and outputs in the template's destination language.

  • Hold point and witness point sign-offs still require manual completion. Storm cannot sign off on hold points or witness points on your behalf.

  • Storm drafts, you decide. Storm never submits forms on your behalf — you always review before saving or submitting.
