Geotechnical Inspections & Reports in Dashpivot: Mobile Capture & Records

Manage geotechnical inspections and reports with Dashpivot. Capture site and ground conditions on mobile, work offline, and keep all records in one place.

Written by Sam

Introduction

Dashpivot makes it easy to complete, manage, and track geotechnical inspections and reports across your projects. Record site and ground conditions on the mobile app, attach photos as you go, and have every report automatically synced and organised — no paper forms, spreadsheets, or email chains required.

Key Features

  1. Align your inspection reports across your team and workforce

  2. Access and fill out reports on site using the Dashpivot mobile app (also available for tablets) — even when offline and without a wifi or cellular connection

  3. Attach photos on the spot while filling out the form in the app

  4. Automatically generate a register of all your inspection reports

  5. Quickly filter and find inspection records

  6. Easily see how many inspections were completed over a specified time period, e.g. 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 (e.g. area, zone, chainage/cut reference) to make it easy to find records later via the register view, and filter by list items on any analytics charts

  • In the template settings, sort forms by the inspection date on the form (not the creation date)

  • In the template settings, set the form thumbnail to display the zone or area of the inspection if working on a large site, or a chainage/cut reference

Getting started

You can access a free geotechnical report template from Dashpivot's Template Library. Go to Templates > Add Template > Browse free templates.

You can also generate a custom geotechnical inspection or report template using Storm AI Templates. Go to Templates > Add Template > Build with Storm, then describe the template you need in the prompt field — for example:

"Geotechnical inspection report for recording site and ground conditions, including photo field, list fields for area and zone, chainage/cut reference, and sorted by inspection date."

Select Generate, then click Build. You can also use the voice recorder to dictate your prompt instead of typing.
