Projects & Survey Progress

What is site survey workflow automation?

SiteSurvey does not offer rules-based workflow automation. Work is organised through projects, spaces, forms and visible survey progress instead.

Site survey workflow automation is the use of rules to move work between people or stages automatically. It commonly includes task routing, conditional approvals and automatic assignments after a survey is submitted. SiteSurvey does not offer this kind of configurable, rules-based automation. Instead, work is organised through projects, spaces, forms and survey progress, which covers what most field teams need without an automation builder to maintain.

Everything in SiteSurvey is structured around a project. Each project contains the spaces that make up the site, the products and forms needed for the survey, and the bookings for site visits. Field users open the same structured project on mobile and capture photos, forms, notes and product data in context.

Where teams look for automatic task assignment from survey findings, SiteSurvey keeps the findings themselves connected to the relevant site, space, form, image or note. The shared, location-specific record gives whoever follows up the full evidence and context, and the exported or shared survey record provides what a separate task-management process needs.

Approval and sign-off are handled through project stages rather than routed approval rules. The project overview keeps the current stage, survey completion and sign-off status visible in one place, and captured forms, photos, notes and files stay connected to the project, so reviewers have the context they need before the project moves to sign-off.

Teams stay informed through shared visibility rather than notifications generated by workflow rules. Project details, customer information, bookings and survey progress are visible across the web platform and mobile app, so office and field teams always work from the same picture.

Progress is tracked in real time at project level. The dashboard shows active projects, surveys due, recent project activity and items approaching sign-off, with survey completion percentages alongside the customer, manager and current project stage.

This approach keeps the emphasis on capturing complete, location-specific survey information without requiring administrators to build and maintain complex automation rules. Reusable product and form libraries still let teams standardise what they capture across every project.
