Observations, damage and photographs

How to record what happened in words, attach a photograph, and why evidence belongs to one day rather than to a month.

Numbers say what happened. Observations say why, and a photograph settles the argument three weeks later.

Observations

The observations section: a scenario, a status, and the detail.

  1. Press + Add observation.
  2. Pick the scenario from the list — the list is yours and is edited in Settings.
  3. Set the status, and write what actually happened in plain words. Names and quantities are what make an observation useful a month later.

Damage verification

Damage recorded here is checked against the limit you set. A site over the limit shows up in the dashboard's Alerts panel with the figure and the number of days it has been over.

Damage verification and Sign-off belong to one day, so they hide themselves when you switch the report to MTD or YTD. A single day's photograph sitting above a month's score invites somebody to read it as the month's evidence.

Sign-off

Who prepared the day, who checked it.
Who prepared the day, who checked it.

The sign-off names the person who did the audit and the person who reviewed it. It is the difference between a report and a document.
