A punch item is something to fix before the work is accepted. It comes from a test checklist (marked Punch item) or is recorded directly. Each project numbers its punch items.
Record one
Open the project and go to Punch items.
Select New punch item: the title, what is wrong, the severity (Minor, Major or Critical), who fixes it and by when. They are told.
Follow it to the end
The person who fixes it selects Fixed.
Someone else checks the fix and selects Close. Whoever fixed it cannot close it.
A Minor item can be Accept as is, with a reason.
Reopen sends a fixed, closed or accepted item back, with a reason.
Filter by status and source to see what is open. An open item past its due date shows Overdue.
Common questions
Why does the FAT not pass? A test passes only when every punch item it raised is closed or accepted. See Panels and the FAT.
