Overview
Field Reports is a new project-level module designed for architects, engineers, inspectors, and consultants to document site visits, inspections, observations, workforce activity, equipment usage, and project conditions in a structured format.
Field Reports provides a more flexible reporting experience than Daily Reports while maintaining eComm’s familiar workflow, weather integration, photo management, PDF exports, and distribution capabilities.
