Introduction
Dashpivot gives your team a consistent, accessible way to capture and manage utility locating and pothole records on site — with photos, drawing markup, and sketches — so that critical information about utility locations is always accurate and easy to find.
All records are automatically organised into a searchable register, giving everyone real-time access from any device to reference when needed.
How it works
Key Features
Standardise utility locating and pothole records across your team
Capture and fill out records on site using the Dashpivot mobile or tablet app, including offline
Attach photos directly to the form while on site
Mark up and annotate drawings in the field using the app
Auto-generate a register of all pothole and utility locating records
Quickly filter and find specific records in the register view
Best Practices
Include a photo field to capture hole photos, measurements, and supporting detail
Include a sketch field to record utility depth, distance, and relative position when completing the form
Use list fields for attributes like area to make filtering and analytics more effective
In template settings, sort forms by the date on the form rather than the creation date
In template settings, set the form thumbnail to display the pothole or utility number so each record is easy to identify
Toggle the form counter on so each record is assigned an auto-generated number
