What it is

This workflow groups the contextual evidence and structured field details that construction teams often need beyond a simple checklist answer.

Who uses it

  • Foremen documenting site conditions and evidence.
  • Safety managers reviewing supporting context.
  • Office staff validating labor or checklist details.

Step-by-step workflow

  1. A field user opens a checklist or related workflow in the iOS app.
  2. The user captures GPS when needed and can fetch or manually edit address and weather text.
  3. The user attaches photos or video and can complete employee summary or diagram fields.
  4. The checklist or related record is submitted and reviewed in the office web app.

Data captured

Photos and video

  • Media file path.
  • Thumbnail path when available.
  • Caption and category.
  • MIME type and size.
  • GPS metadata when provided.

Weather and location

  • GPS latitude and longitude.
  • Optional address label.
  • Weather summary text.
  • Capture timestamp.

Hours worked by worker

The employee_summary field type stores:

  • Employee ID.
  • Employee name.
  • Hours worked.
  • Optional classification such as journeyman or apprentice.
  • Totals for employee count and hours total.

Markable diagrams

The diagram_markup field type stores:

  • Diagram asset ID.
  • Structured mark list.
  • Pin labels.
  • Normalized coordinates for pins and freehand strokes.

Outputs and downstream effects

  • Richer checklist records with evidence and labor context.
  • Better office review of what happened on site.
  • SVG diagram markup that can be rendered later against the selected asset.

Device and platform context

  • Capture happens in the iOS app.
  • Uploaded SVG diagram assets are managed in the web app.
  • Office reviewers see the resulting checklist or record in the web app.

Practical construction examples

  • Marking hazard locations on a site plan and attaching progress photos.
  • Recording weather and address context for a daily site safety form.
  • Listing which workers were on the job and how many hours each person worked.

Limitations and notes

  • Diagram markup is currently v1 only. The current tool set is pin and freehand.
  • Diagram v1 does not yet include arrows, circles, text callouts, hotspot regions, or version history UI.
  • Address and weather lookup usually need network access, but the user can edit both fields manually and submit them as text.
