Create a Punch List Item with Quick Capture (Android)
Objective
To create punch list items using the Quick Punch feature on the Procore Android app.
Background
Quick Capture allows you to record short videos of issues on the job site and convert the videos into punch items from an iOS device. While recording a video, you can verbally describe what you are seeing and the audio will be transcribed to automatically populate the punch item's Title and Description fields. You can also say the name of a trade (that already exists in your Procore account) during the recording and Quick Capture will attempt to populate the punch item's Trade field.
Things to Consider
