How to Manage Non-Conformance Reports (NCRs) on Dashpiv

Manage non-conformance reports digitally with Dashpivot — capture NCRs on site, automate approval workflows, and maintain a complete, filterable register of every non-conformance across your projects.

Written by Sam

Introduction

Dashpivot gives your team a fast, fully digital way to manage non-conformance reports — from initial capture through to corrective action sign-off — replacing slow, paper-based processes with automated workflows that keep everyone informed in real time.

Use Dashpivot to push NCRs through the approval chain automatically, maintain a centralised register of all non-conformances, and give all parties real-time access to the latest version of every report.

How it works

Key features

  • Access and create NCRs on site using the Dashpivot mobile or tablet app

  • Attach photos and videos to the form while on site

  • Attach and mark up PDFs using the mobile app

  • Automatically notify the next approver the moment a step is signed off — including remote sign-off

  • Auto-generate a register of all NCRs, filterable by category, type, status, date, and person

  • Export a selection of NCRs as professional, company-branded PDFs

Best practices

  • Set up your NCR template as a workflow to standardise the review and approval steps

  • Configure workflow notifications at each step so the right person is alerted instantly

  • Include a photo field so visual evidence can be attached at the time of capture

  • Use list fields for attributes like NCR type, package, and status to make register filtering and analytics more effective

  • Include a text field for NCR title or description and display it on the form thumbnail in template builder settings for easy identification
