Custom Forms

Create custom forms for inspections, checklists, and standardized data collection. Forms ensure consistent information gathering across all your work orders.

What Are Custom Forms?

Custom forms are templates you design for collecting specific information. Common uses include:

  • Pre-Service Inspections - Document vessel condition before work begins
  • Winterization Checklists - Ensure all winterization steps are completed
  • Commissioning Checklists - Verify spring readiness
  • Sea Trial Reports - Record test results after repairs
  • Damage Surveys - Document insurance claims
  • Safety Inspections - Verify safety equipment

Create a pre-service inspection form that technicians complete at the start of every job. This documents the vessel's condition upon arrival and protects against claims of damage.
