Overview
This guide is for the people who complete Checklists in the field. It walks through finding your assigned Checklists in the Mobaro mobile app, answering Questions, attaching photos and comments, saving progress, and submitting your work.
To see and complete a Checklist on the mobile app, you must be an Assignee on a Schedule and have access to its Target Location.
Why this matters: The Checklist is where field work gets recorded. Knowing how to attach evidence, save progress, and submit means inspections are captured accurately the first time, even when you're offline.
Finding your Checklists
Open the Mobaro app and sign in. From the home screen you can reach Checklists in a few ways:
Tap the
Checkliststile to see what's available to you.Browse by Location to see the Checklists tied to where you're working.
Switch the view to
Foldersto find Checklists grouped by their Folder.
Note: What you see depends on the Schedules you're assigned to and the Locations you can access. Calendar Checklists appear during their scheduled slot, while Continuous Checklists are always available.
Starting a Checklist
1. Select the Checklist and Location
Choose the Checklist and the Location (or Asset) you're completing it for.
2. Download it if prompted
If the Checklist requires it, allow it to download first. This makes all content and reference materials available even without a connection.
3. Work through the Pages
Answer each Question, moving through the Pages in order.
Note: Some Questions may appear or disappear as you answer, based on logic set up by your administrator. You'll only see the Questions relevant to your situation.
Answering Questions
Depending on how the Checklist was built, you may:
Select an option, choose multiple options, pick a date, set a temperature, enter a number, or type a text response.
Add a photo by taking one with your camera, or selecting one from your gallery if allowed.
Add a comment for extra context where comments are enabled.
Open any reference material (manual, link, or video) attached to a Question for guidance.
Note: Certain answers may require a comment or photo before you can continue, and some may create a follow-up Assignment. These are set up with triggers to capture important issues.
Saving progress and submitting
Saving for later
If you can't finish in one go, save your progress. Saved Checklists become Resumable Results in the cloud so you can pick up where you left off.
Submitting
When you've answered everything required, submit the Checklist. Once received on the Mobaro Backend it becomes a Result that reviewers can view, score, and act on.
Critical: Calendar Checklists have a deadline. If one isn't completed before its slot (plus any grace period) ends, it becomes a Missed Result. Watch for reminder push notifications so nothing slips.
Working offline
You can complete downloaded Checklists without a connection. Your answers are stored on your device and sync to the Backend once you're back online. External links and videos, however, require an internet connection to open.
Viewing your Results
Review completed Checklists from the Reports tile in the mobile app. You'll see Results based on your permissions for the relevant Checklists and Locations. See Viewing Checklist Results.
Example: a pre-opening ride check
Scenario
Maria arrives for an early shift and needs to complete the coaster's pre-opening inspection in an area with weak signal.
Setup
She opens the
Checkliststile, selects the inspection for her ride, and lets it download.She answers each check, photographing a worn seatbelt and adding a comment.
Result
She submits before opening; the Result syncs when she's back in range, and the flagged seatbelt creates a Maintenance Assignment automatically.
Frequently asked questions
Q: A Checklist I expected isn't showing up. Why?
A: You may not be an Assignee on its Schedule, you may not have access to the Location, or its time slot may not be active yet. Check with your administrator.
Q: Can I finish a Checklist later?
A: Yes. Save your progress to create a Resumable Result and continue when you're ready, as long as the slot is still open.
Q: Do I need internet to complete a Checklist?
A: Not if it's downloaded. Your answers sync automatically once you reconnect. Only external links and videos need a live connection.
