Describe your assets, route, and service standards. Makeform builds a field checklist for pole condition, electrical tests, repairs, parts, photos, and unresolved faults.
Route completed checks to email, Slack, Google Sheets, and Zapier.

Parts required
Electrical follow-up
Require an asset ID and location confirmation so dispatchers can identify a light when its pole label is obscured.
Step 1
Identify
confirm asset, location, ticket, and crew
Step 2
Inspect
check site, pole, fixture, wiring, and controls
Step 3
Service
record diagnostics, repair, parts, and tests
Step 4
Route
close completed work or assign the next action
Built for field maintenance
A focused checklist records the asset, finding, repair, final test, and open work.
Required choices cover the base, pole, access cover, arm, fixture, wiring, control, and site.
Asset, location, work order, readings, and photos stay together for review.
Status, priority, craft, equipment, and parts fields define the next assignment.
Fit the work type
Choose a workflow, then match its terms, asset choices, and evidence to crew procedure.
Check pole stability, corrosion, covers, fixture, vegetation, cabinet, and site on a route.
Branch from the symptom into power, connections, light source, control, and final checks.
Document dark, cycling, obstructed, damaged, bright, or misdirected exceptions.
Capture old and new equipment, photos, commissioning, exceptions, and quantities.
Checklist workflow
Turn your maintenance sequence into mobile fields and separate closeout paths.
Name asset types, inspection points, faults, readings, repairs, and statuses.
Order checks around the pole, require key photos, and label ratings and units.
Show diagnostics after failure, part fields after replacement, and follow-up for open work.
Send urgent findings and submission data into review, scheduling, and asset workflows.
Field record options
Compare how each method captures repeatable route details and unusual faults.
Field guide
Follow the order a technician identifies, inspects, diagnoses, services, and closes a light. Adapt criteria to your equipment and work practices.
Work and asset identity
Connect every submission to dispatch and the asset register, with a location fallback when a pole label is missing.
Arrival and site condition
Capture access, traffic control, obstructions, damage, and conditions that prevent the planned task.
Mechanical inspection
Structured choices guide a consistent check of the support and fixture, not only the lamp.
Operating and electrical checks
Label readings with units and test points, then pair them with the observed state and fault category.
Repair and materials
Use controlled repair choices plus notes, quantities, and equipment identifiers for installed or removed materials.
Closeout and follow-up
Record the operating result and enough follow-up detail to schedule another visit without repeating diagnosis.

It is a field record connecting a work order and asset location with condition checks, symptoms, readings, repairs, parts, photos, final tests, and follow-up status.
Include work order, asset and location, crew, pole and fixture type, condition, symptom, operating and electrical checks, repair, materials, photos, final result, completion status, and next action. Use your fixture families, units, and fault codes.
Yes. Share the checklist as a link crews can open on a phone. Follow the physical inspection order, use choices for common findings, and place photo requests beside the relevant check. Test it on crew devices before rollout.
Yes. Conditional logic can show diagnostics after a failed test, equipment-specific fields after fixture selection, component details after replacement, and follow-up questions when service is not restored.
Use an incomplete-work branch requiring the reason, current state, priority, needed part or craft, access constraint, equipment, next action, photo, and diagnostic summary.
Yes. Request photos of the label, defect, component condition, installed equipment, and finished repair. Record part name, model or stock number, serial number, quantity, and disposition in separate fields.
Yes. Makeform provides unlimited free forms and responses, including generating, editing, and publishing your checklist. The paid tier removes the Makeform badge; it does not unlock additional response capacity.
Submissions arrive in Makeform and can flow through email, Slack, Google Sheets, or Zapier. Route them by urgent condition, restored service, required part, or specialist follow-up.
Replace vague service notes with complete field records.
