Viewing Inspection Tasks

Assigned inspections for the day as well as overdue tasks appear in a list on the home page when you open the Oracle Inspector web application. From the Inspection Tasks page, you can manage and perform inspections.

On the Inspection Tasks home page in the web application for mobile devices, inspectors can:

  • View the daily job list for inspections assigned to them on a calendar or map.

  • View inspection type, property address, permit type, and permit number for each permit inspection.

  • View inspection type, business address, business license transaction type, and business license transaction number for each business license inspection.

  • View the inspection status and results for completed inspections.

  • View overdue inspections that were incomplete as of the scheduled day.

  • Identify inspections with conditions or restrictions.

  • Access inspection details and checklists for performing the inspection.

  • Select multiple inspections to provide results.

If there's a condition on the permit or business license application, the level of the most severe condition is displayed. For example, if three conditions have been applied, including Notice, Hold, and Lock, the level called Lock is displayed. For more information, see Working with Conditions.

Each inspection in the task list includes this information in the left panel:

Viewing Inspection Tasks

You can use the search filters and sorting options to adjust the list of inspection tasks.

The Inspection Tasks page displays a single search field at the top of the page with filters that you can modify. You can remove the filter chips except for the date filter by clicking Remove (the X icon) on the chip. Click the filter chip below the search bar to add it to the search bar again, The values you see in each filter chip in the search bar appear in the inspections list.

  • Inspector filter - Click the filter name to display a list of assigned inspectors. Select the inspector name to view the inspections assigned to that inspector in the list of inspection tasks. Remove the filter chip to view the inspections for any of the inspectors.

  • Status filter - Click the filter name to display a list of inspection statuses, including Scheduled, Canceled, or Completed. The default value is Scheduled. Select a status to view the inspections with that status. Remove the filter chip to view the inspections with any of those statuses. The status also appears as a badge on the inspection in the list. Inspections with an Overdue badge have a scheduled status.

  • Due date filter - Click the filter name to enter a date, or select the calendar button to select a date on the monthly calendar. This filter provides access to the inspections scheduled for a specific date and includes overdue inspections from prior days. You can't remove this filter chip.

You can also sort by fields in inspections displayed in the list. Click the Sort By button to sort alphanumerically by one of these inspection fields:

  • Schedule Start Date

  • Address

  • Status

  • Inspection Type

  • Result

Working with Overdue Inspections

Permit or business license inspections that are not completed on the scheduled day appear with an Overdue badge and appear at the top of the inspections task list starting the next day.

Overdue inspections are calculated based on the date selected in the search bar date facet. Any incomplete inspections scheduled for previous dates are overdue. If the date facet is set to the date the inspection was originally scheduled for, it won't appear as overdue.

Inspectors and supervisors can perform overdue inspections at any time by clicking the inspection type link. Completing the inspection moves it back to the scheduled date in the task list, and the date of completion is displayed on the inspection overview panel.
