Note: Use Schedule tasks for time-sensitive activities with set start and finish dates or times.

Project Checklists suit process-driven tasks where steps must be completed, but timing may be more flexible.


Checklists are ideal for:

  • Pre-construction checks

  • Construction QA checks

  • Vehicle Checks

  • Health & Safety Checks

  • Tasks that require multiple people to have visibility but one person is responsible for completing.

  • A  staff member needs to follow a set process

  • A number of steps need to be completed as part of a standard workflow

  • A task needs to be completed, but does not require a specific scheduled date or time


To access checklists, first open the project you wish to add a checklist to, then from the main tab click Checklists. 

Adding Checklists to a Project

After you open the project, go to the Checklists sub-tab.

There are two ways to add a new Checklist to a project:

  • Create a new Checklist manually

  • Load an existing Checklist Template


Create a New Checklist Manually

  1. Click + Checklist

  2. Enter a name for the Checklist.

  3. Choose which status group you wish to use.* Default is set by Rave as Complete, Incomplete, Not Applicable

  4. Click Add.


Once the Checklist is created, the modal will pop up; you can begin adding individual Todos.

  1. Enter a name/title for the todo
  2. If applicable, paste in your hyperlink to external images/instructions/documents
  3. Select the colour for the todo
  4. Assign a primary person to this todo
  5. Assign any secondary assignees
  6. Add any attachments 
  7. Click Add todo


You can then keep adding todos by selecting the +Todo button within the checklist, the three-dot ellipsis beside the checklist name, or the top-right corner of the screen. If you choose the top right, you'll need to choose which checklist to assign this to-do to if you have more than one.


Repeat these steps as needed to create individual checklists or add more todos to an existing checklist.  


Once a Checklist has been added with Todos you have the option under the checklist to click the 3 dot elipisis and: 

+ Add Todo - add a new todo to this checklist

Edit checklist  - edit the name of the checklist

Save as Template - save this checklist as a new template or add to an existing template 

Print - print your checklist 

Export to CSV - export your checklist to CSV 

Delete - with permission, delete the entire checklist and todos. 



Once a Todo has been added, you have the option under the todo to click the 3-dot ellipsis and: 

Edit ToDo - with permission, edit the todo information

Add Comment  - with permission, or if you are the primary or secondary assignee, add a comment to the todo, including images/attachments

Add Attachments - with permission, or if you are the primary assignee, add images/attachments to the todo, including comments. 

Delete - With permission, delete the todo


Comments and Attachments

Once you have added comments and/or attachments to your todos, you can click on the speech bubble beside the three-dot ellipsis to view past comments.

Clicking an attachment lets you preview it. You can then open it in a new tab, download it to your device, print it, or, with permission, delete it.



Bulk Action Bar

The bulk action bar allows you to multi-select checklists to update primary and secondary assignees on all todos within those checklists, save as a template, as well as bulk delete.

Note: When bulk updating a primary and/or secondary checklist assignees via the bulk action bar, you have the ability to replace (overwrite existing assignees ) or update (add these new assignees) in both project checklists and checklist templates.




Expand/Collapse All

Click the expand all/collapse all button to expand or collapse all your checklists to view the todos as one large list. 

Print Entire Checklist

To print all checklists in the project, click the Print all button and make your print selections from the pop-up modal.

Print a single Checklist

  1. Click the three dots beside the Checklist title.

  2. Select your print options.

  3. Click Print.

  4. This will convert the Checklist to a PDF for you to then print or download and save. 


NOTE: Colour-coded Todos will print in colour by default. If required, change your printer settings to greyscale or black and white before printing.
