Avoid rebuilding checklists in spreadsheets

Copying steps from SOPs, tracking who completed them, and figuring out what happened later takes hours. Wikidoc turns your procedures into recurring checklists that log themselves so you can focus on getting the work done right.

Cadence templates set the rhythm

One template describes the recurring job: what must be done, how often, by whom, and who signs off. Wikidoc handles the calendar.

Daily, weekly, or monthly cadence with timezone-aware period boundaries

Three ways in, zero retyping

Most teams already have checklists in spreadsheets, in SOPs, in someone's head. Wikidoc meets them where they are.

Every cycle starts fresh

Each period, each assignee gets a new, unticked run. Past runs are never reset, never overwritten - each one is a self-contained audit artifact that snapshots the items as they were.

Timestamped ticks - who checked what, exactly when

Submit for review once required items are done

Approve or reject with a note. Rejected runs reopen for fixing

Runs snapshot their items — history survives edits

An audit trail that can't be tidied up

The event log is append-only. Unticking an item adds a record, it doesn't delete one. Comments can be resolved but never removed. That's what tamper-evident means.

Every event recorded - ticks, unticks, submissions

Actor + timestamp on every entry

Comments are permanent. No delete button by design

Generate the room-turnover checklist from the protocol document itself, so the list and the SOP can't drift apart every time the protocol changes.

Before Wikidoc, managing checklists was a nightmare. Endless spreadsheets, manual timestamps, and no precise audit trail. With Wikidoc, our minds are at ease knowing it takes care of everything.

Common questions

How are Wikidoc checklists different from a to-do list?

A Wikidoc checklist is a recurring compliance record, not a task list. A template defines the items, cadence, assignees, and approvers; each period every assignee gets a fresh, unticked run. Every tick, untick, submission, approval, and comment is recorded in an append-only event log with actor and timestamp - evidence the procedure was actually followed.

How do I create a checklist?

Three ways: build it manually in the template editor; upload an existing CSV or Excel checklist; or point AI at one of your SOP documents and it drafts the checklist items for you.

What exactly is recorded in the audit trail?

Every event: run creation, each item checked or unchecked (with who and when), submission (including which approvers it went to), approval or rejection decisions with notes, reopening, and every comment, reply, and resolution. Events are append-only - unticking adds an event rather than erasing history, and comments cannot be deleted.

Can someone approve their own checklist run?

No. Self-approval is blocked. The decision maker must be a named approver or admin who is not the run's assignee. Rejected runs reopen so the assignee can fix and resubmit, with the full cycle recorded.

What happens to old runs when the template changes?

Nothing - each run snapshots the template items at creation, so past cycles remain exact audit artifacts even after the template is edited or archived. Templates keep their own version history too.
