Conduct an inspection

Run a checklist on a phone or laptop, flag what fails, raise actions from the finding, and sign it off.

Start it

  1. 1

    Open Inspections and start a new inspection from a published template — or open one that was scheduled for you from your “For me” queue.

  2. 2

    The inspection pins the template version it started from and stamps its own document number automatically.

Work through it

  1. 1

    Answer as you walk. Progress saves as you go — a phone call, a dead battery or a shift change does not lose the half you finished.

  2. 2

    Attach photos where a picture says it better; take them in the moment, from the device you are holding.

  3. 3

    Questions revealed by logic appear as your earlier answers trigger them — the form only asks what applies.

Tip: You can leave an inspection part-finished and return to it from the register; it keeps its state until you submit.

Flag failures and raise actions

  1. 1

    Flag the responses that need follow-up.

  2. 2

    Raise a corrective action from the question itself — the action carries the context of exactly which check failed, at which site.

  3. 3

    Assign an owner and a due date now, while the finding is in front of you.

Note: On recurring inspections, actions de-duplicate: the same broken door found four weeks running stays one action, not four.

Sign and submit

  1. 1

    Fill the signature slots the template defined — each slot records who signed and when.

  2. 2

    Submit. If the template routes through approval, it lands in the approvals queue; otherwise it is complete.

  3. 3

    The finished report is ready to export or share the moment it is submitted.
