Checklists · Inspections
Manifold checklists let you build custom inspection forms, punch lists, and QA/QC walkthroughs. Every item can require a photo before it’s marked complete — giving you a GPS-tagged, timestamped record of every item on every job.
1
Navigate to the project you want to add a checklist to. Tap the “+” button and select “Checklist” from the menu. You can also access your checklist templates from the Templates tab.
2
Give your checklist a name (e.g. “Pre-Pour Inspection” or “Client Handover Punch List”). Add each item you want your crew to complete. Items can be free text, yes/no questions, or multiple choice.
3
Tap the camera icon on any item to make a photo required before that item can be checked off. This is the key feature — photos are automatically GPS-tagged, timestamped, and tied to the specific checklist item.
4
Once your checklist is built, tap “Save as Template”. Next time you start a new project, tap “From Template” and select your saved checklist. Build it once, use it on every job.
5
Works fully offline — no signal required. Complete each item, take the required photos, and the checklist saves on your device. When you reconnect, everything syncs automatically to the project timeline.
6
Tap Export on any completed checklist to generate a branded PDF. Every item, photo, GPS location, timestamp, and the name of who completed it are included. Share directly with clients, engineers, or project managers.
💡 Pro tip
Build your most-used checklists as templates before your first job. A pre-pour inspection, safety walkthrough, and client handover checklist cover 80% of what most crews need. Takes about 10 minutes to set up and saves hours every week.
