How You Manage Inspections for Maintenance Work Orders

Inspections are integral to any maintenance activity. You can create, view, and edit inspection details for your work order operations.

Create Inspection Results

Enter inspection details to create inspection results for your work order in the Create Inspections Results dialog box. To open the Create Inspections Results dialog box, you can use either of these two methods:

  • From the Tasks pane by clicking the Create Inspection Results link under Work Execution.

  • On the Maintenance Dispatch List page, select a work order and click the Create Inspections Results button. Alternatively, you can click the Inspections icons in the Inspection Plan column for the work order
