SAM’s Review Dashboard brings everything together. Filter by asset, inspector or status, drill into individual forms, spot overdue or high-risk items, and export tidy summaries for clients or leadership in seconds.

Submit – Inspector completes the record; SAM syncs it automatically.

Validate – Required fields, photos and readings are checked.

Notify – Reviewers get an alert and open the record from their dashboard.

Review – Approve, comment or request changes.

Release – Approved data moves into reports and analytics.
