3. On the project page, you will find the maps for this project. In the Download column, select any sheets you would like to download to the app. *Downloading the sheet to the Inertia app is necessary to view and work with punch list records.
4. Once you have selected the sheets you would like to download, select the Download arrow in the upper right corner.
5. Your selected sheets and attached records will now complete their download to your iPad app. This may take a few minutes, depending on the amount of Punch List records.

Create and Sync Punch List Items

2. Once you have selected your location (highlighted in blue), select the orange plus sign in the bottom right corner, and select Punch List.
3. Tap the affected area of your selected room to add a circle. The circle will indicate the location of the issue in the room, and allow you to attach details.

5. Enter the details of the issue. Be sure to include as much information as possible about the issue and location. To attach documents, images, or take a photo with the iPad, look for the Attachments section.
6. When you've entered all your information, select Save. Create additional punch list records as needed.
7. When you are finished creating punch list items, return to the map list to sync your records. The number shown in the upper right is the number of records that are waiting to be synced. Use of a reliable wifi/data signal is strongly recommended. If you are working in the field without internet connectivity, you must sync your records when you regain your internet connection.
*Syncing your records is required to send the punch list items to your Inertia account, failing to do so may result in a loss of data.
Select the Online icon in the upper right. Use the Upload button to upload individual records, or tap Sync All to sync all pending record updates.
8. Once the records finish syncing, the Online icon will no longer show a number next to it. This indicates there are no records waiting to be synced.
