Who this template is for

Field Inspection Form is built for carriers, couriers and operations teams who need to record consignment detail and proof at each handover.

  • Carriers, couriers and operations teams working in logistics & field ops.
  • Teams who need to record consignment detail and proof at each handover without writing code or paying for a custom build.
  • Anyone replacing disputes with no record of what was collected or delivered with one structured record per enquiry.
  • Respondents are shippers, drivers and warehouse staff — the form asks them 23 questions across 4 screens.
  • Mobile-heavy audiences, thanks to the one-question-per-screen card layout.

Why this form is useful

It removes the cost of disputes with no record of what was collected or delivered and turns each submission into a record your team can act on immediately.

  • 14 questions are required, so submissions arrive complete instead of needing a follow-up email.
  • It accepts a document or photo upload as evidence.
  • It records a signature you can keep as proof of agreement.
  • It pins the request to a specific date.
  • It captures a full postal address.
  • It captures a numeric value you can filter and sort on.
  • Conditional logic hides 3 questions until they are relevant — shorter forms convert better than long ones.
  • Splitting the form across 4 pages keeps each screen short and shows respondents how much is left.

Logic and conditions blueprint

Exactly how this form behaves as it is answered — 3 conditional rules ship with it.

  • Features advanced show logic: if “Did anything fail inspection?” is Yes, the form dynamically exposes “Describe each defect found”. Otherwise that question never appears.
  • Features conditional validation: if “Did anything fail inspection?” is Yes, “Defect severity” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.
  • Features conditional validation: if “Is the site safe to continue operating?” is No, “Who has been notified” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.
  • All 3 rules are editable in the Logic tab, and the built-in checker warns about rules that contradict each other.

About this template

An inspection that lives in someone's notebook is not an inspection anyone can act on. This form turns a site visit into a record: who inspected what, when they arrived, the condition of each checked item, and photographs of anything that failed. The checklist section grades each area pass, fail or not applicable, and a failure opens the defect block so the inspector describes the fault, rates its severity and attaches pictures while standing in front of it. A follow-up section captures whether work can continue, who has been notified and the date a re-inspection is due, so nothing quietly closes itself. The inspector signs on the device before leaving, which gives you a timestamped, attributable record for clients, insurers and auditors.

What this form asks

Every question is editable — rename it, make it optional, or delete it entirely.
