The five core Visi types — Inspections, Tasks, Issues, Defects, and Non-Conformances — now support subtypes, so your team can categorise work the way your projects actually run. And if the built-in options don't cover it, you can create your own.
What's new
To get teams moving quickly, we've added out-of-the-box platform subtypes for the most widely used industry categories:
- Inspections: ITP (Inspection Test Plan), ITC (Inspection Test Checklist), Audit, and Site walk
- Issues: Observation and Corrective action, alongside the existing Incomplete works and Incorrect works
Need something more specific to your business or project? Create custom subtypes in Company Setup and they'll flow to every project your company is part of — with the option for Project Admins to disable them on projects where they're not needed.
Once subtypes are set up, you can set a default subtype on templates so every Visi created from them is categorised automatically, apply them when creating Visis, or add and change them later by editing.
They flow through to filters, exports, and reporting just like any other field.
Issue subtypes also support approval workflows, so you can route any categorised issue to the right reviewers automatically — not just Incomplete Works and Incorrect Works.
Why it matters
Until now, the five core Visi types were the only way to categorise work — which meant teams either squeezed everything into the closest fit or lost the distinction entirely. Subtypes let you reflect how your team actually works, and open the door to tracking work in Visibuild that didn't fit before.
This feature is available to Company Admins of any company in Visibuild — project owners and project partners alike.
We'd love to see what you build with it — and as always, please share your feedback to help us improve.
