Describe the item or site work, acceptance criteria, and failure process. Makeform creates a checklist for traceability, measurements, defects, disposition, and sign-off.
Route inspection records to Google Sheets, Slack, and Zapier.

Sample inspection with measured values and disposition
Supplier, purchase order, part, revision, and lot
Lot quantity and sample size
Appearance and labeling results
Target, tolerance, unit, and measured value
Disposition and inspector sign-off
Suggested routing tags
Accepted
Rework required
On hold
Name the specification revision and unit; a number without its criterion is difficult to review.
Step 1
Identify
item, batch, location, revision, and inspector
Step 2
Inspect
criteria checked and measurements recorded
Step 3
Classify
defects documented by type and severity
Step 4
Disposition
accept, rework, reject, hold, or reinspect
Inspection records that can be reviewed
Connect each result to the inspected item or area, its criterion, and the resulting decision.
Place the specification, tolerance, unit, or reference beside each check.
After a failure, request defect code, severity, quantity, note, and photo.
Capture containment, owner, due date, disposition, and reinspection status.
Adaptable inspection types
Choose the closest event, then add your drawings, specifications, instructions, or limits.
Connect supplier, purchase order, lot, sampling quantity, measurements, and receiving disposition in one record.
Record readings at scheduled intervals and expose deviation and containment fields whenever a value falls outside the stated limits.
Combine functional, dimensional, visual, packaging, and labeling checks before recording release or another disposition.
Organize checks by project area, trade, and inspection stage, with exact defect locations, photos, correction owners, and reinspection dates.
Build the inspection workflow
Define the checks and exception path, then test the form with inspectors.
Name the product, stage, location, inspector, sampling approach, and traceability identifiers.
Choose response types for attributes, measurements, defect codes, limits, and units.
After failure, request defect details, photos, containment, owner, and correction date.
Route submissions, separate accepted work from holds, and record reinspection outcomes.
Form vs document vs paper
Structured online fields make exceptions easier to classify, route, and revisit.
Field guide
These six groups cover traceability, checking, exceptions, and closure.
Traceability
Use identifiers that point to the inspected batch, unit, delivery, drawing, or location.
Sampling
Give batch results context with lot quantity, sample size, and sampled-unit identifiers.
Acceptance criteria
Order criteria by workflow and show the referenced requirement beside each result.
Measurements
Store each reading beside its target, range, unit, and applicable method.
Defects & evidence
After failure, reveal controlled defect fields plus notes and images.
Disposition & closure
Finish with your operation's disposition, owner, and a separate reinspection result.

Answers for teams building a repeatable inspection checklist.
It compares a product, batch, process, or completed work area with acceptance criteria. It records identity, checks, measurements, defects, evidence, disposition, and follow-up.
Include item or location identifiers, quantity, sample, date, inspector, and revision. Add criteria, results, measurements with limits and units, defect details, photos, containment, disposition, owner, due date, reinspection, and sign-off.
Define each criterion beside a controlled result choice. A failure can reveal defect and action fields; not applicable can reveal an explanation when your process needs one.
Yes. Add target, limits or tolerance, unit, and measured value. Identify each sample or point, and include the gauge or method when required. Compare the form with your approved specification before use.
Yes. Reveal an upload after a failed result and collect defect location, code, severity, quantity, and a factual note with the image.
Yes. Product versions can use part, batch, serial, revision, sample, and measurement fields. Site versions can use project, area, trade, work stage, photo location, correction owner, and reinspection.
Yes. Makeform includes unlimited free forms and responses for generating, editing, publishing, and collecting submissions. The paid tier removes the Makeform badge.
Record the first disposition, containment, owner, and due date. Add a reinspection section for date, inspector, corrected criteria, remaining defects, result, and final disposition without replacing the original failure.
Make every inspection result actionable.
