Description
This template is organized into thematic inspection sections, each containing a set of checkbox-based safety checks. Inspectors can mark each item as complete or incomplete. Alongside each checklist item are additional comment and file upload fields, allowing for documentation of issues, observations, or photo attachments.

A dynamic badge system highlights completion visually through color-coded statuses. The name of the checklist is also dynamically generated based on location, date, and status using a smart expression.
