Punch List — Overview

Track defects and issues found during inspections with status, priority, and assignee management.

The Punch List tracks defects and issues that need resolution — whether auto-created from failed inspection items or added manually. Each punch item moves through a defined lifecycle from identification to closure.

What You See

The Punch List table shows all defect items for your project:

Column	What It Shows
Title	What needs to be fixed (auto-filled from failed checklist items)
Source	The inspection and checklist item that created this punch
Assignee	Team member responsible for fixing the issue
Status	Open, In Progress, Fixed, or Closed
Priority	Critical, High, Medium, or Low (with color indicators)
Due Date	When the fix is expected (overdue items flagged)

How Punch Items Are Created

Automatic (recommended):

During inspection, when marking an item as Fail → toggle "Auto-Create Punch Item" ON
The checklist item label becomes the punch item title
Linked to the source inspection and specific checklist item
Inherits assignee from the inspection if set

Manual:

Click New Punch Item in the toolbar
Fill in title, description, priority, assignee, and due date
Optionally link to a source inspection

New Punch Item dialog with title, description, priority, assignee, and due date fields — Create punch item — fill in defect details and assign for resolution

Auto-creation is preferred because it maintains the link between the inspection item and the punch item. This link enables automatic closure during reinspection.
