Your Data. Your World.

DATTLE / At work

Document site visits

A site-visit log helps a team remember what was seen and what needs attention. Keep one entry per observation so a photo, location, and next action stay together instead of disappearing into a long conversation.

Make it your own

On the web, sign in and choose New Dattle → Build manually. Web Dattles use Shared access; you can start with just yourself and invite people later. For a Private Dattle stored on your device, use the mobile app.

  1. Agree on a short record format

    Create Site visit observations with the fields below. Choose project names and status labels together so everyone records the same kind of information.

  2. Capture one observation

    Choose Add data and record the site, visit date, and area. Describe the observation separately from the next action. Add a photo when it makes the location or issue clearer.

  3. Review follow-up work

    Search the site name to find its records. Use Sheet view for a quick review and Card view for the supporting notes and photos. Update the record as follow-up happens.

SUGGESTED FIELDS

Start with a useful structure

Use these names and types as a starting point. Adjust them to fit what you actually want to record.

Fields for Site visit observations
FieldTypeWhat to record
Site or projectTextUse a consistent project label.
Visit dateDateRecord when the observation was made.
AreaTextBe specific enough for another person to find it.
ObservationTextDescribe what you saw.
Next actionTextWrite the proposed follow-up.
StatusTextAgree on labels, such as Open, In progress, and Done.
PhotoImageAttach an optional photo of the observation.

Bring others into the record

Use a Shared Dattle to let colleagues contribute. Can add lets a contributor add records and comments; Can view is useful for someone who only needs to review the log. A status field records progress you enter; it does not assign work automatically.

Make a report with PDF Stories

For a visit summary, open Dattle actions (•••) → Create PDF Story. Choose the relevant date range and fields, and include item cards and photo fields when needed. Review the report scope before sending it to the project team.
