Chekku is one operation with two surfaces. Confusing them is the most common onboarding mistake.
What the web is for
Use the web app when you need to:
- Design and save forms in Form Builder
- Create data sources and bind them to List fields
- Configure visit types, places, teams, and users
- Review visits, form responses, dashboards, and reports
- Set up automations after a form is submitted
Admins and supervisors live here most of the day.
What mobile is for
The mobile app is for field personnel:
- See today’s agenda and assigned tasks
- Start or continue visits at a place
- Capture location, photos, comments, forms, and signatures
- Work offline when coverage is weak; sync when connected again
Install from Google Play or the App Store. Mobile users are not expected to edit form definitions.
How work flows between them
- Office configures visit types and forms on the web.
- Field opens a visit on mobile and fills what the visit type requires.
- Answers and evidence appear on the web for supervisors to review.
- Automations or tasks can fire from form submit (when configured).
Tips
- Test every new form on a real phone before rolling it out.
- Keep “office-only” configuration out of the mobile checklist.
- Offline capture still needs a later sync—confirm the visit on the web after the first field day.
