Fillable equipment inspection

How it works

1. Lay out the record

   Group asset details, inspection checks and follow-up information under readable headings.

2. Add named fields

   Use TextField, CheckBox and ChoiceField so applications can identify values by stable field names.

3. Set a conservative initial state

   Leave checkboxes unchecked and the disposition at Awaiting inspection until a person records the result.
