How do I create and resolve a punch list item?
Log a deficiency, mark it resolved, and get it verified — by someone other than whoever fixed it.
Add an item
- Open Field Ops → Punch list.
- Click “Add item.”
- Describe the Deficiency, set a Priority (Low, Medium, High, or Critical), and optionally the Location (for example, “Level 3, grid C4”).
Resolve, verify, close
A punch list item moves through five statuses: Open → In progress → Resolved → Verified → Closed.
- Once it's fixed, click “Mark resolved.” This records who resolved it.
- A different person then clicks “Verify.” If you're the one who resolved it, that button is disabled with a note next to it: “You resolved this — someone else must verify it.”
- Once verified, click “Close item” — this is final and confirmed (“a closed item cannot be reopened”).
If a resolved-and-verified item turns out not to actually be fixed, resolving it again clears the previous verification, so it has to go through a real verification again rather than staying “verified” on a fix that changed.
This is Buildiante's four-eyes rule applied to field defects — see why the verifier can't be the resolver.
