Site history that helps the next service visit

What is useful service-site history?

Site history is the record of what workers observed and learned at a location over time. Useful history explains the date, area, observation and next action. It helps distinguish a new condition from one that was already reported.

Make observations comparable

Use consistent area names and take an overview photo before a detail photo. Write what you actually observed, separating it from a suspected cause. Record who was told and any follow-up agreed through your normal work system.

• Date and area: make the observation easy to place.
• Condition: explain what changed or remained the same.
• Evidence: add a photo with context when appropriate.
• Next action: record the responsible contact and any known outcome.

Keep current instructions easy to find

Older notes should explain the past, while the description should guide today’s visit. When an access rule changes permanently, update the description and add a dated note explaining the change. Reopening a job should not require interpreting months of contradictory instructions.

SiteSight holds notes and photos on the job

Return to the same job record to review its notes and photos. Editors can add what they learned for other company members. This provides working context, not an immutable audit log, chemical treatment ledger or scheduled maintenance record.
