Field Notes in OpenSpace makes it easy to capture detailed information about your project and send it to the right person—on the jobsite or in the office. Customers use Field Notes to keep track of observations, flag issues, streamline punch lists, and speed up RFIs. Already one of our most-used features, our new enhancement makes Field Notes even more efficient for communication and solving problems. Introducing Zones.

Zones streamlines Field Note management by making it simple to create Zones on your sheets (floor plans) that match any area on your project that you want to track. For example, you can create Zones for rooms/units, sectors, or even for phases of your work (such as “Courtyard phase 2”). By creating Zones, you don’t need to manually tag each Field Note to denote location. Instead, OpenSpace automatically tags your notes by the Zone (or Zones) in which they reside.

Saving you even more time, when you add a new Zone or update an existing Zone, OpenSpace reanalyzes all your Field Notes to ensure they’re tagged to match your updates. With all your Field Notes automatically mapped to Zones, it’s a snap to filter and report by area so you can quickly view progress and status of the electrical room, unit 5, sector B, concrete pour phase 1, or anything you’ve defined.
