How the walk works in the app
- Download the file above on your iPhone or iPad and open it; it appears under Your templates.
- Walk the areas in order. Tap Pass, Fail or N/A.
- A Fail creates an item with the area and trade filled in; take the photo and the AI drafts the description and severity.
- Add a check on the spot if the list forgot one. Save the walk as your own template.
- The report's appendix prints every check and its result.
