Answer
In construction, "nomenclature" means a standard, agreed system for naming and numbering the parts of a project — zones, buildings, floors, grids, members, and so on — so everyone refers to the same location in the same way.
You may also know this as: project location, location or work breakdown structure (LBS / WBS), structure hierarchy, zone or area naming, grid reference, location code, or a location naming convention.
digiQC brings that system into the app: the project sets up a fixed location hierarchy (zones and sub-zones) that everyone picks from, instead of typing location names freehand.
A location is made of two parts:
The predefined part — picked from the project's Nomenclature (e.g. Tower A → Floor 3 → Flat 302).
The variable part — a short free-text bit added on site (e.g. a grid or member reference).
Why it's used
To give one consistent naming system across the whole project and team.
So a location always means the same place to everyone — engineer, contractor, PMC, client.
Benefits
Consistency — every inspection, issue and register entry is named the same way.
Traceability — filter and analyse quality by exact location.
No confusion / no duplicates — no two people name the same place differently.
Faster reporting & audits — location-wise records are easy to pull for clients and auditors.
Where it's used
Set up per project (web app) by the System Admin or Project Admin.
Applied across Inspect, Issue and Register — every record can be tagged to a nomenclature location.
