Schedule recurring inspections

Put a checklist on a rhythm — daily, weekly, monthly — with assignees, reminders and a calendar of what is due.

Create the schedule

  1. 1

    Open Inspections → Schedules and create a new schedule.

  2. 2

    Pick the template, the recurrence — daily, weekly, monthly, or a custom rule — and when it starts.

  3. 3

    Assign the people who conduct it. Each assignee gets their own occurrence to complete.

What happens on its own

  • Upcoming occurrences materialise ahead of time and appear on each assignee’s queue and the schedules calendar.

  • Reminder emails go out before the due date — once per occurrence, not a drumbeat.

  • Completing the inspection ties it back to the occurrence, so the schedule knows what was done and what was missed.

Keep schedules honest

  1. 1

    Pause a schedule when the line is down for the summer; resume it when work restarts.

  2. 2

    Check the calendar view for pile-ups — forty checks landing on the same Monday morning is a planning problem you can see coming.

  3. 3

    Archiving a template pauses its schedules automatically, so a retired checklist never keeps generating work.

Tip: Schedule to the person who actually walks the route. A schedule assigned to a manager “to sort out later” is a missed check with extra steps.
