Use the calculator in inspections

Learn how to use the calculator in inspections to get response to questions without leaving the inspection workflow using the mobile app.

Why use a calculator in inspections?

Inspections often involve capturing numerical data, from equipment readings to measurement checks. The built-in calculator allows you perform quick calculations directly within your inspection, instead of switching apps or relying on manual math. You can even pull in existing number responses from the same page to save time and reduce errors. This helps keep inspections efficient, accurate, and focused, so your team can complete tasks on-site without interruptions.
