Use the calculator in inspections

Learn how to use the calculator in SafetyCulture inspections via the mobile app to perform calculations and use results directly as a response to questions. This helps streamline calculations without leaving your inspection workflow.

Why use a calculator in inspections?

Inspections often involve capturing numerical data, from equipment readings to measurement checks. The built-in calculator lets 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.

Using the calculator in an inspection

  1. Open the mobile app.

  2. Tap Inspections in the navigation bar or select it from Assets gallery view iconMore.

  3. Start or edit an inspection.

  4. Progress through the inspection accordingly.

  5. Tap Data capture (toolkit) icon on the right-side of the supported question.

  6. Select Calculator from the pop-up options.

  7. Perform your calculations accordingly. If there's an existing number response on the same inspection page that you want to use in a calculation, tap f(x) and select that response.

  8. Tap Use value or Done/check icon at the upper-right of your screen.
