How do I download a defect report?

Step 1: Accessing the Defects Page

To begin, log in to your BuildPass account and navigate to the main navigation menu.

• Click on the "Modules" heading in the main navigation to access the modules page.
• Look for and select the "Defects" option to access the defects page.

Step 2: Choosing Report Criteria

Once you're on the defects page, Gillard suggests a few ways to filter defects to include specific information in the report.

• Utilize filters to narrow down the defects based on specific criteria. For example, filter defects assigned to a particular subcontractor or those with specific statuses like "In Progress" or "Critical."

Step 3: Applying Filters and Selecting Defects

• Apply the desired filters to display a list of defects that match your chosen criteria.
• Review the list of defects presented on the screen.
• Expand the number of displayed defects if necessary to ensure all relevant defects are visible.
• Select the defects you want to include in the report. You can choose individual defects or select all defects on the job.

Step 4: Downloading the Report

• After selecting the defects, locate the "Download PDF" option. Click on it to initiate the report generation process.
• A PDF report will be generated, summarising all the defects you have selected.
• Please note that if there are many defects, the report may take some time to load.

Step 5: Reviewing the Generated Report

• Once the report has finished loading, you can scroll through it to review the defects.
• The report is organised by location, grouping defects accordingly.
• For example, defects assigned to "Level 1 Bathroom 1" will be listed first, followed by defects from other areas.
• Some defects may have a yellow highlight, indicating they are still pending action ("To Do").
• The report includes defect numbers, identifiers, locations, associated images, status, and assigned personnel.
• Images associated with defects are displayed in an expanded view at the end of the report for closer examination.

Generating a defects report in BuildPass is a straightforward process.
