Using Inspection Checklists

An inspection can have one or more checklists that cover the scope of the codes and requirements. Depending on the permit or business license application requirements, an inspection may have checklists with one or more checklist items. You work through the checklists and provide inspection results on the checklist pages in the Oracle Inspector web application for mobile devices.

To access the checklists, click the link with the checklist name in the Checklists panel for the inspection. This panel is only available for inspections set up with one or more checklists. When you’re performing an inspection, you can do the following at the checklist level:

  • Work with checklist items.

  • Provide a result for the checklist.

  • Review or add checklist or checklist item attachments.

  • Review or add checklist or checklist item comments.

Important: You must complete inspection checklists including the checklist items marked as required before you can submit the result for the overall inspection.

This example illustrates an inspection checklist page with checklist items, containing the field values described in the surrounding text.
