Field reports in DrillerDB provide standardized documentation for various aspects of field operations, from equipment inspections to safety compliance. These reports ensure consistent record-keeping and help companies maintain regulatory compliance while improving operational visibility.
Report Types
DrillerDB supports several field report types, each designed for specific operational needs. Daily Vehicle Inspection Reports (DVIR) document pre-trip and post-trip vehicle inspections, ensuring equipment safety and compliance with Department of Transportation requirements. Pump logs track pumping operations including flow rates, pressures, and volumes. Hazard reports document safety concerns encountered in the field.
Each report type follows a structured template that guides field personnel through the required information, reducing the likelihood of missing critical data points.
Creating Field Reports
Field reports can be created from mobile devices or the main web application, allowing crews to document activities immediately as they occur. The templates present a series of fields appropriate to the report type, with some fields marked as required to ensure complete documentation.
Reports automatically capture metadata including the user who created the report, timestamp, associated project, and GPS location if available. This contextual information enriches the report data and provides additional verification of field activities.
Templates and Customization
Report templates are stored as HTML templates in the system and can be customized to match company-specific needs or regulatory requirements. Companies can modify existing templates or create new report types to document specialized operations unique to their business.
Template customization ensures that field reports collect exactly the information needed without burdening field staff with irrelevant fields or questions.
Digital Signatures
Many field report types support digital signature capture, allowing supervisors or customers to sign off on completed work or acknowledge reported conditions. Digital signatures are stored as part of the permanent report record and include timestamp data for verification purposes.
This electronic signature capability eliminates the need for paper forms and reduces the risk of lost documentation.
Report Storage and Retrieval
All field reports are permanently stored in the system and associated with their related projects. Reports can be retrieved by date, project, report type, or personnel. This organization makes it easy to find specific reports when needed for audits, customer inquiries, or operational analysis.
Reports can be exported to PDF format for sharing with customers, regulatory agencies, or insurance carriers. The PDF export maintains all report data including signatures and timestamps in a professional, printable format.
