I want our smartsheet project schedule to be "the start and end all" for all project information and processes, however, I am struggling in delivering a checklist system.
We currently utilize a standardize project template in smartsheet for each of our build clients. Approximatly 20 per year. Each row of our project schedule is associated with a specific construction trade. Each trade has unique checklist for our project managers to utilize to ensure consistent quality and standards. Currently, our check list is deleivered with google drive, google docs. We really like google in that there is only (1) document for the project - However, working from a tablet or a desktop screen, we can not actually check off the check boxes and "sign the document" when work is completed and approved for payment. It has to be printed to do this. (unless I am missing something?)
Our goal to be 100% paperless with this aspect of our business. Is there a way to use an electronic checklist that lives in the cloud and can be edited there too?
I have looked into a pdf solutuion, but find that to edit the document, it has to be downloaded to the tablety and then uploaded again - which becomes way to cumbersome for our field techs. Am I wring on this? I hope so, I wouwld like a pdf solutuion to this.
I have looked at evernote for adding checklists, but have found it cumbersome in that it is asking for a login everytime, with remember password for 30-days. Also then prompts to download and use the android app, and the checkboxes are not checkable.
Should we be taking a different approach and loading all checklists directly onto our field techs tablet and he is just sending in seperatly from smartsheet?
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks
