TECHNICAL AUTHORITY STAYS WITH THE TECHNICIAN
ACTUALin does not independently decide whether an inspection passes or fails.
AVAILABLE NOW · TEMPLATE BUILDER
Need a report template? Build one.
Choose reporting fields and features or describe what the report needs to contain. Optional example paperwork, notes and photos can help propose a structure. Review the proposed fields and cautions before generating a blank Excel workbook.
ACTUALin / BUILD TEMPLATEACTUAL PRODUCT INTERFACE
Define report requirements and optional features before reviewing the proposed structure and generating a reusable Excel workbook.
01 · DEFINE THE REPORT
Select technical, business or report features, or write your own instructions.
02 · REVIEW THE STRUCTURE
Inspect proposed sections and fields. Unsupported or unclear requirements need review rather than assumptions.
03 · CREATE THE WORKBOOK
Generate a reusable .xlsx template. Preview the result and check compatibility before using it for reporting. Saving and downloading templates require a paid plan.
Build Template supports defined workbook structures and features; it is not a promise that every requested layout, formula or reporting requirement can be generated.
Keep reporting work organized by company workspace.
SHARED WORKSPACE
Paid team plans support a shared company workspace for reporting work.
REPORT HISTORY
Completed reporting jobs remain associated with the workspace so prior work can be referenced without starting from scratch.
PLAN-BASED CAPACITY
Start with a real free plan, then move to Crew or Business as report, template and team usage grows.
AVAILABLE NOW · PORTABLE AUDIT RECORDS
Keep a generation record beside your completed Excel report.
SEPARATE AUDIT DOWNLOAD
Crew and Business workspaces can download a JSON generation manifest alongside newly generated Excel reports, without adding worksheets or modifying the workbook.
WORKBOOK FINGERPRINT
The record includes the report ID, generation time, creator, approved-change count and SHA-256 fingerprint of the completed workbook.
WORKSPACE-CONTROLLED HISTORY
Audit downloads follow workspace access and report retention. Historical reports without a recorded manifest are not retroactively certified.
The manifest documents report generation only. It does not provide individual cell-by-cell approval history, an electronic signature or certification of inspection findings.
AVAILABLE NOW · 05 · PHOTO PLACEMENT
Put supported evidence images into the report where they belong.
AUTHORED DESTINATIONS
Place supported evidence images into authored report photo sections when the workbook provides a legitimate destination.
EVIDENCE ASSOCIATION
Keep image placement tied to supported equipment, inspection-point and report-record associations instead of floating photos into arbitrary locations.
FAIL-CLOSED PLACEMENT
When the workbook does not provide a legitimate photo destination, ACTUALin preserves the evidence reference without inventing a placement.
PRIVATE TEAM WORKSPACES
Your reports stay in your workspace, not a public database.
Saved workbooks, templates and report history are scoped to your authenticated company workspace. Authorized members of that workspace can access its reporting records; outsiders do not get access just by having an ACTUALin account. Free Sandbox previews can be shared separately only when someone creates a temporary read-only link. See our Privacy Policy.
BUILT FOR NDT & INSPECTION
Domain-specific workflow, not a generic field form builder.
ACTUALin is focused on technical inspection reporting, including workflows around UT, MT, PT, VT, welding inspection and related QA/QC work. Explore ACTUALin for NDT reporting.
