Issue Reports in Fluix: Spot Issues Early and Resolve Them Faster

When inspectors spot issues during inspections, they need to report them, assign corrective actions, track resolutions, and share documentation for compliance or follow-up work. Too often, this means manual reports, duplicate data entry, and chasing updates across emails.

Issue Reports in Fluix eliminate that by automatically turning completed checklists into clear, actionable, and shareable reports. 

Let’s learn what Issue Reports are, how different teams use them, and how they can simplify your inspections, safety, and maintenance workflows.

Note: Issue Reports are available under the Core plan. Compare Fluix plans on our pricing page to view all available features.

WHAT ARE ISSUE REPORTS?

Issue Reports is a functionality that automatically creates an issue-focused summary from a completed inspection checklist.

Instead of writing incident reports or punch lists after the job, inspectors flag issues during the inspection, and Fluix does the rest. It pulls those flagged items into a clear report that teams can review, update with resolutions, and share.

How it works:

• Inspectors complete a checklist during an inspection
• They flag issues, failures, or non-conformities as they go
• Fluix generates a summary listing only the identified issues
• Teams add resolutions and move the report through review or approval

Admins set up report formats based on who needs the information (customers, supervisors, safety, or maintenance teams) so each audience gets the right level of detail without extra work.

Issue Reports cover common inspection outcomes like incident findings, defects, NCRs, and corrective actions, all in one consistent flow.

Key Issue Reports features

• Instant issue summaries. Automatically generate reports the moment an inspection is completed.
• Issues only reported. Reports include only flagged items. If no issues are found, Fluix doesn’t create a report.

• Workflow-ready by default. Send reports to the next person to fix issues, review results, or approve actions.

• One source of truth. Updates in the report sync back to the original checklist automatically.
