AT&T Forms in Pathwave: Governance, Standardization, and Data Integrity
How AT&T maintains controlled, compliant, and consistent field data capture across all programs
Article Published: December 26, 2025
AT&T’s form templates in Pathwave establish a controlled, standardized structure for how field data is captured and submitted across all AT&T program types. These templates define AT&T’s required data fields, documentation standards, and formatting rules to ensure consistent, validated inputs across all suppliers and subcontractor tiers.
Pathwave manages these forms through centralized version control, providing a single authoritative source for every AT&T form used in the field.
Centralized AT&T Form Governance
AT&T maintains ownership of all official form templates used across its Macro, NSB, In-Building, and Small Cell programs. Each form is purpose-built to capture the specific data elements required for compliance, closeout validation, and downstream system consumption.
AT&T-managed forms may include:
-
Safety documentation (including RG-123–related workflows)
-
Quality audits and site confirmations
-
As-built and equipment records
-
Program-specific closeout documentation
-
Field condition and exception summaries
These templates establish AT&T’s minimum data-capture standards for all work performed on AT&T projects.
Version Control and Instant Distribution
AT&T controls the lifecycle of each form template. When updates occur—whether regulatory, structural, or program-driven—Pathwave immediately distributes the updated version to all users.
This ensures:
-
Outdated templates are removed from circulation
-
All suppliers operate from the same authoritative structure
-
New AT&T requirements are adopted instantly
-
Compliance is consistent across all tiers of execution
This eliminates the inconsistencies that commonly occur when forms are managed through email or offline documents.
Standardized Data Capture at the Point of Use
AT&T forms are completed directly in the Pathwave mobile app, where required rules and validations are enforced automatically.
The platform ensures:
-
Required fields cannot be skipped
-
Data formats align with AT&T standards
-
Photo evidence is embedded correctly
-
Metadata is applied consistently
-
Submissions are structured and compliant on first pass
This protects the integrity of field data and reduces downstream rework
Automated AT&T Field Population Through System Integration
Through Pathwave’s integration with AT&T systems, key AT&T project identifiers are automatically populated on the job record and flow directly into applicable forms and COPs.
Auto-populated fields may include:
-
IWM Number
-
FA Location Code
-
PTN
-
Market or Region identifiers
-
AT&T project type or segment
-
Other AT&T-defined metadata required for documentation
This automation:
-
Ensures identifiers match AT&T systems of record
-
Eliminates transcription errors
-
Standardizes attributes across all contractor tiers
-
Accelerates form completion
-
Strengthens audit traceability
Automatic Photo Embedding
For forms requiring visual evidence, Pathwave automatically embeds the correct photos into designated sections based on AT&T template rules.
This guarantees:
-
Alignment between photo lists and form fields
-
No manual sorting or renaming
-
Reduced administrative overhead
-
Submissions ready for AT&T consumption immediately
Supplier Extensions Without Compromising AT&T Standards
Suppliers may need to capture internal or supplemental documentation in addition to AT&T requirements. Pathwave supports this through supplier-controlled templates that exist alongside AT&T forms.
Suppliers may add:
-
Internal checklists
-
Supplemental compliance forms
-
Additional quality documentation
These extensions do not modify or override AT&T-managed templates.
Real-Time Visibility and Compliance Monitoring
All form activity flows into a centralized data layer, providing real-time visibility into documentation status and compliance.
Teams can monitor:
-
Submission timestamps
-
Technician attribution
-
Form revision used
-
Outstanding requirements
-
Job-level documentation progress
Partner Feedback and Requests
Pathwave actively collaborates with AT&T and its supplier community to improve field documentation workflows.
Partners are encouraged to:
-
Request new forms that would add operational value
-
Suggest enhancements to existing forms
-
Identify AT&T data fields that would be useful to auto-populate through integration
Requests should be submitted to the Customer Success team for review and alignment.
