Using Inspection Checklists

An inspection can have one or more checklists that cover the scope of the codes and requirements. Depending on the permit requirements, an inspection may have checklists with one or more checklist items, or none at all. You work through the checklists and provide inspection results on the checklist pages in the Oracle Inspector mobile application.

To access the checklists, click the Checklist button on the Inspection Detail page. When you’re performing an inspection, you can do the following at the checklist level:

  • View results progress, if the inspection has checklist items.

  • Access checklist items.

  • Provide a result for the checklist.

  • Review or add checklist attachments.

  • Review or add checklist comments.

Description

Checklist

Click the checklist row to open the Checklist Items page.

Result

Results are defined by the agency. Common results are Pass, Fail, Corrected on Site (COS), Not Applicable (NA), and Not Observed (NO).

If the inspection was set up by the agency to use scoring, the system automatically populates the result based on the scoring method. If scoring is not used, the inspector must manually add the result.

Caution: You can’t update the inspection result on the checklist items, checklists, and inspection when a condition to prevent the inspection result has been applied. You must resolve the issue first and when necessary, reschedule the inspection. Before you can update the inspection result on a final inspection all of the required inspections for the permit must be complete with a passing or completed result.

Progress indicator

Displays percentage in a progress ring and count how many of the checklist items have been evaluated.
