Automatic calculations during inspections

In this release, you can now:

  • Save time and let your inspection do the calculations automatically for you

What you’ll love about this new functionality

Don’t waste time switching between apps to calculate your inspection answers. Now you can set your inspection questions to do the maths for you. Whether it’s a complex Excel-like equation or a simple division, save time by prompting your inspections to calculate numbered question inputs for your final answer. This means more accurate data for you and more time for your team to perform their daily tasks.

Note: We’re currently working on adding logic flows to calculated results and making the feature compatible with repeated sections. Stay tuned!

This is a great addition!!! Have been hoping for calculations for some time. 

Any chance percentage formatting will be added? 

Hi Team,

Great function!

Question: is it on the works to have logic added to calculated results? E.g., if calculation = greater than or equal to 20, trigger: notes or action required?

Thank you!

Hi @Stuart Carpenter we absolutely plan to bring in the logic feature as you know it and combine it with the new calculations feature. We expect that to arrive and be out to customers in June. 

 

@Andrew-K we don’t have any immediate plans to add percentage as an extra format option but thank you for raising this as we may re-visit adding more format options for numbered questions in the future!  

Very exciting! Thanks Paddy

Awesome! Any chance in the future we might see date-based calculations?

Example use case: the date a container was last emptied is entered in an inspection, which calculates either the number of days since it was emptied or the number of days until it is required to be emptied again.

Thanks Alyssa yes date-based calculations is something that is in consideration for the future. Thanks for sharing :)

This is great News! looking foward to seeing this functionality working in the field. Is there any chance of also considering Time base Calculations.

 

Example: The time a product comes out of the oven, and the time it reached under 5C, and the system can calculate how many hour/mins this took? 

 

This would be a great addition. :)

Great suggestion @Joshua Milisits!

So we don’t lose track of these ideas, it’d be awesome if you could create it as an idea with details 💡 this way, other community members can vote for it as well!

Thanks again @Joshua Milisits for sharing this idea and it’s cool to see you’re excited about this future extension of the SC Auto Calculations Inspections engine.

Hola Paddy, sería interesante que para los calculos pudiera usarse el puntaje asignado a una respuesta. Por ejemplo si elijo la respuesta correcta en una pregunta obtendré el puntaje predefinido, por ejemplo 2. Luego lo interesante sería poder usar ese puntaje en un calculo para, por ejemplo, definir si se alcanzo un mínimo en una inspección. 

Hi @drfercampos thank you for your suggestion to integrate the calculations engine with the scoring feature. This is something we’d love to make happen in the future but we don’t have clarity on time lines yet
