Two tabs carry a project's written record. The Log tab tracks what happened and when; the Field and Scope Notes tab is where you write, measure, and export.

The Log tab#

Open the project and tap Log. The Activity Log shows automated activity and added notes in one timeline:

  • Automated entries appear as milestones happen — for example "Inspection started." when you begin the inspection, or "Document uploaded." when a file lands on the project.
  • Tap Add to write your own note into the timeline — an arrival detail, a conversation with the homeowner, anything worth a timestamp.

The project's written record

Field Notes#

Tap the Field and Scope Notes tab, then the Field Notes segment. This is a free-form pad — scratch measurements, reminders, material observations, whatever you would write on a clipboard.

Scope Notes#

The Scope Notes segment builds rows from what you document in the inspection — each documented item becomes a line with a quantity and unit of measure. Fill the quantities in as you measure; a row that expects a measurement stays outlined in amber until you enter one. An explicit number is the goal here: these are your takeoff quantities, kept next to the findings they came from.

Measure with your iPhone#

On the iOS app, scope rows and the field-note sheet include a Measure button that opens an augmented-reality tape measure:

  • Distance — point at one end, then the other, for a straight-line measurement.
  • Walk — walk the line for longer runs; walked results are marked "(walked)".

The measured result drops straight into the note or the row's quantity.

Export the notes as a PDF#

  1. On the Field and Scope Notes tab, tap PDF (it reads Exporting… while it works).
  2. The share sheet opens with a "Scope & Field Notes" PDF — the filename includes the customer's name, so it stays identifiable in a text thread or email.

This export is built on the device and shared directly — it is separate from the report package on the Documents tab, and generating it uses no project credits. For the full FieldFaktor Inspection Report and Photo Report, see Generate reports.
