Vehicle Inspection Checklist Template

What is in the Vehicle Inspection Checklist template?

The Vehicle Inspection Checklist template holds 10 questions grouped into 2 sections, 7 of which must be answered before it can be submitted and 3 of which are optional. Between them they capture short typed answers, numeric answers, yes-or-no answers, longer written comments and photos taken on the device camera.

Broken down by field type, the Vehicle Inspection checklist is 6 pass/fail checks, 1 comment boxes, 1 number fields and 1 photo fields.

When should you use the Vehicle Inspection Checklist template?

The Vehicle Inspection Checklist is filed under “Vehicle”, “Inspection” and “Fleet”, in the Automotive part of the library, where it is aimed at workshops, dealerships and mobile technicians recording a job as they do it. Pre-trip vehicle safety inspection for fleets and drivers.

Checklists get run by the person doing the work, on the device in their hand, at the moment they do it — which is the only time the answers are worth anything. At 10 questions, only 7 of them required, the Vehicle Inspection checklist is short enough to finish in one sitting, which is what keeps completion rates up.

Does the Vehicle Inspection Checklist work offline?

Yes. Once the Vehicle Inspection Checklist is published, the 10 fields and every answer option are stored on the device, so the checklist opens and completes with no connection at all. Each completed check is written to the device first and queued; when signal returns it syncs on its own, keeping the time it was actually captured rather than the time it uploaded.

That includes the heavy parts: photos taken on the camera are held on the device and uploaded when the connection comes back, so a dead zone costs you nothing. Kiosk mode locks a tablet to the Vehicle Inspection Checklist alone, so the next person who picks it up gets a fresh copy of the same 10 fields and cannot wander into anything else.

How do you customise the Vehicle Inspection Checklist template?

Open the Vehicle Inspection checklist in the builder and all 10 questions land as editable fields — nothing is locked to the template. Rewrite the wording, drag fields into a different order, flip any of the 7 required fields to optional (or the other way round), and add anything missing from the 20+ field types in the builder.

Its 2 section headings can be renamed or split across pages, and conditional logic can skip a whole section of the Vehicle Inspection checklist when an earlier answer makes it irrelevant.

Nothing about the Vehicle Inspection Checklist stays Survtapp-branded, either: your logo, your colours and your own URL slug replace ours, so the 10 fields you publish read as part of your own site rather than as a template someone downloaded.

What happens to the completed checks you collect?

Every completed check from the Vehicle Inspection checklist lands in one place with its timestamp, the agent who collected it and, where the device allows, where it was captured. From there pass and fail counts are totalled per check, written comments are listed in full rather than summarised away and photos are attached to the record they were taken for.

Export the lot to CSV, Excel, JSON or PDF whenever you want it elsewhere, or set a trigger so a completed check from the Vehicle Inspection Checklist emails the right person the moment it arrives. Data is held in Canada, the completed checks stay yours, and you can export or delete them at any time.
