Digital Checklists

A digital checklist is a configurable inspection form where an operator confirms each step of a procedure and records the results of a check. In Log Sheet, checklists live in the same structure as your production logs: tied to a process, a date, and a responsible person, with results flowing into the same reports and dashboards.

Checklists are part of daily operations in most plants and construction companies. Production teams use them to:

  • run quality control checks at each stage of production or construction;
  • verify that every step was performed according to the technology or SOP;
  • reduce human-factor risk — nothing gets skipped because someone simply forgot;
  • document work acceptance and inspections with a recorded result;
  • standartize equipment rounds and HSE / safety checks on a single form.

How checklists fit into production log sheets

Like log sheet entries, checklists are tied to a production process, an operation or a product type, and to the date of the check. That is why checklists fit naturally into the logic of production logs: once you have set up your log structure (folders and the logs themselves), you create checklists inside the same structure.

The familiar difference is visual: a checklist has an entry form, while log entries are table rows.

Creating and configuring a checklist

  1. Select the corresponding menu item in your log structure.

  2. Enter a name for the checklist.

  3. The system creates a checklist template with two parts: a header and the content.

The checklist form adapts fully to your process: you control the list and types of fields in both the header and the main part. Values entered into checklist cells are locked in, so inspection results cannot be lost or silently edited.

List fields: dropdown or toggle

Fields of the "List" type have an extra display setting:

  • dropdown — the classic option, values are picked from a list;
  • toggle — all possible values unfold into columns, so a check mark takes one tap.

Checklist sections

Checklist content can be split into sections — logical groups of inspection criteria repeated in each section. This is convenient when one document covers several units, areas, or pieces of equipment.

Working with checklists day to day

Once configured, filling in a checklist is no harder than adding a log entry: open the checklist and create a new record.

Filling in a digital checklist

Checklists can be filled from a desktop computer, a tablet, or a phone — on the shop floor, on site, or during equipment rounds. All completed checklists are kept in a single register with the same navigation as log entries.

FAQ

What is the difference between a log sheet and a checklist?

A log sheet entry is a table row describing an event. A checklist is an inspection form with a fixed set of criteria, where what matters is confirming each step was done. Both live in the same structure and feed the same reports.

Can I fill in checklists from a phone?

Yes. Checklists work on desktop, tablet, and phone — the form is mobile-friendly, so inspections and rounds can be recorded on the spot.

Can I configure my own fields and sections?

Yes. The set and types of fields in the header and content are fully configurable, and inspection criteria can be grouped into sections.
