Example setup: Framing

Who it’s for: a framing crew tracking walls and hold-downs, level by level.

What they want to know: how many hold-downs of each model are in, and which ones failed inspection.

Use this as a starting list, and change whatever doesn’t fit.

What it looks like

Section titled “What it looks like”

Here’s this setup on a sample plan. Green is done, blue is in progress and gray hasn’t started. A red ring means it failed inspection, and a red warning icon is an Issue.

Tap a point and its card opens. HD-23 is finished but failed inspection, so its card shows Done and Fail, and the point is green with a red ring. Both facts stay visible without opening anything.

The card for hold-down HD-23, open beside a few points on a sample plan. Status is Done, Inspection is Fail, Hold-down is HDU5 and Qty is 1. The point is green with a red ring and has HD5 inside.The card for hold-down HD-23, open beside a few points on a sample plan. Status is Done, Inspection is Fail, Hold-down is HDU5 and Qty is 1. The point is green with a red ring and has HD5 inside.

An Issue looks different on purpose. It keeps its red warning icon, so it never reads as a wall or a hold-down. Its status sits beside it as a label, and a high priority raises the corner flag.

The card for issue RFI-31, open beside a few points on a sample plan. Status is Blocked and Priority is High. The point is red with a warning icon, a Blocked label beside it and a corner flag.The card for issue RFI-31, open beside a few points on a sample plan. Status is Blocked and Priority is High.

Card types and fields

Section titled “Card types and fields”
Field Field type Wall Hold-down Issue Why
Mark Text Yes Yes Yes What lists and search call a point. The Name on every card type
Status Status Yes Yes Yes Shared, so one report counts all three card types
Inspection Select: Not checked, Pass, Fail Yes Yes The report filters on it
Hold-down Select, one choice per model Yes The report groups by it
Qty Number, unit ea Yes Adds up in the report
Priority Dropdown Yes The report groups by it
Photos Photos Yes Yes Yes Shows the work; nothing to count

What each point shows

Section titled “What each point shows”
Card type Color Inside Ring Also
Wall Status Nothing Inspection Mark as a Label
Hold-down Status Hold-down Inspection Mark as a Label
Issue The card type’s red, with its warning icon The card type’s icon Nothing Priority as a Corner flag; Status as a Label

Status colors Walls and Hold-downs but only labels Issues, and it’s still one field. Level comes from Page, so it needs no field. Priority’s High choice is ticked to raise the corner flag.

Ask your AI app

Section titled “Ask your AI app”

Once points are going in, you can ask Claude, ChatGPT or Grok Bot things like:

  • “How many HDU2 hold-downs are in on each level?”
  • “List the hold-downs that failed inspection, with their marks.”
  • “Which walls are still blocked on Level 3?”

Want a different setup? Tell Claude, ChatGPT or Grok Bot what your company does and ask it to adjust this one.
