Estimate distance in inspections
Learn how to estimate distance in inspections via the mobile app on iOS.
Why estimate distance in inspections?
We understand that you may need to estimate the distance between objects when you conduct inspections. Rather than using a tape measure and recording distance manually, you can use our digital estimator to capture the distance between objects on the go.
What you'll need
The distance estimator feature is currently only available on the SafetyCulture mobile app for iOS devices that support augmented reality (AR). This feature is only available for questions using the following response types:
Person (title page)
Document number (title page)
Number ("Number" format)
Estimate distance in an inspection
Open the mobile app.
Tap Inspections at the bottom of your screen.
Progress through the inspection accordingly.
Tap on the right-hand side of the supported question.
Select Distance estimator from the pop-up options.
Tap at the bottom of your screen to start estimating.
Slowly move your device and tap once more to finish estimating.
The estimated distance should appear at the top of your screen. If the estimated value isn't quite right, repeat from step 7 to start again.
Tap Use value at the upper-right of your screen.
