Missing Information
TrueGrade helps you catch gaps before you submit, without getting in your way. There are two kinds of reminders, and they behave differently.
Two Kinds of Reminders
Required — a hard stop
A handful of fields are required. If one is blank when you try to submit, TrueGrade stops you and lists exactly what’s missing. Fill those in and you’re through. See Required Fields.
On a daily report, the required fields are Project, Date, Site Summary, and Work Performed.
Expected — a gentle nudge
Some fields aren’t required, but they’re expected — the report is more useful with them. If one is blank, you’ll see a soft note on the review screen:
⚠️ Missing — you can still submit
This is a reminder, not a roadblock. You can go back and fill it in, or submit as-is if it genuinely doesn’t apply today.
On a daily report, the expected-but-optional fields include Weather, Temperature, Crew, and Trades On-Site.
The difference in one line: required must be filled in to submit; expected just gets a nudge you can accept or act on.
Where You See Them
- Required gaps appear the moment you tap Review & Submit — you won’t reach the review screen until they’re filled.
- Expected gaps appear on the review screen, next to each field, so you get one last look before you confirm.
Why the Nudge Exists
The expected-field reminders exist because a blank isn’t always a mistake — sometimes there really was no delivery, or no inspection that day. TrueGrade won’t force you to invent an entry. It just makes sure a blank is a choice, not an oversight.
If a nudge points at something that genuinely didn’t happen, it’s fine to submit with it blank. The reminder has done its job by making you look.
