  2. 2
    A name and time on every stepPass, Fail or N/A on each step, with readings like torque values recorded as you go.
  3. 3
    Changes go through a requestSuggest an edit with a change request and redlines. Export the finished record as a PDF.

Work together

Run the same procedure together, live.

Open one Opus run on two or more devices. Each person takes a step, and everyone sees who is where and when each step is done.

  • See who is working on which step.
  • Progress updates for the whole team as steps are finished.
  • Only one person can sign a step at a time, so the record stays clean.
