Common questions
- Can I add my own equipment's items?
- Yes. Every line is editable, and you can add groups. Use the maker's manual and your own procedures to decide what to check.
- Does it save my checklist?
- In your browser on this device. It doesn't go to our servers. Download a copy to keep it somewhere else.
- Can I fill it out on a phone?
- Printing it is the free path here. PortalBase runs the same checklist on a phone, offline, with photos and signatures.
