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 Inspector Application for permit and license inspections. From the Inspection Tasks page, you can manage and perform inspections.

This example on a laptop illustrates an inspector or inspector supervisor's view of the Inspection Tasks home page containing the fields described in the surrounding text. The filters show scheduled inspections including overdue inspections for the date in the scheduled date filter, assigned to the selected inspector. The overdue inspections appear at the top of the list. The property map displays the location of the selected inspection in the right pane.

On the Inspection Tasks home page in the Inspector Application for mobile devices, inspectors can:

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

• View inspection type, property address, permit type, permit number, and permit status 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 or hide overdue inspections that were incomplete as of the scheduled day.

• Identify inspections with conditions or restrictions.

• Identify reinspections.

• 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:

Inspection Information	Description
Inspection type	Click the inspection type link to access the full inspection, including the overview, checklists, comments, attachments, signatures, and time records, which appear on separate panels.
Date or date and time	Displays the scheduled time of the inspection, which displays the date only or the date and time, depending on agency setup for the scheduling method. Overdue inspections display the date only.
Inspector name	Displays the assigned inspector's name.
Reinspection	Identifies the inspection that was created to redo the previous inspection of the same type that failed. You can access the inspection history from the inspection details.
Status or Overdue badge	Displays the inspection status in a badge. For example, Scheduled, Canceled, or Completed. Overdue indicates that the inspection was not completed on the scheduled day.
Permit property location or business location	Displays the address of the property or business.
Permit or business license transaction information	Displays the permit type and permit number or business license type and business license transaction number associated with the inspection.
Business's doing business as (DBA) name	Displays the business's doing business as (DBA) name for license inspections.
Inspection result	Displays the inspection result, such as Pass. If the inspection is set up to use the bottom up scoring method, the result may include Score, Major Violations for failing results, and Rating information.

A map showing the properties appears on the right side of the page when viewed on a desktop or laptop computer. The Inspection Tasks page zooms to the location of the inspection on the map when you select the row of the inspection task in the list. Map markers with a number show the number of inspections at that location. On a mobile device, click the View Map button to display the property map above the list of inspections. Click Hide Map to close the map.

You can begin the process of providing results for a group of inspections that you select from the list of inspections by clicking the Result Multiple button.

For information about submitting inspection results for a single inspection, which you access by clicking an inspection type link on the Inspection Tasks page, or for multiple inspections by selecting inspections on the Inspection Tasks page, see Submitting Inspection Results.

Viewing Inspection Tasks

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

By default, the inspection tasks list is filtered to display all the scheduled inspections assigned to the logged in user as of the current date.

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.

• Schedule date filter - Click the filter name to either enter a date or use the calendar button to select a date on the monthly calendar. This filter provides access to the inspections scheduled for a specific date. You can't remove this filter.

• 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 to view the inspections assigned to other inspectors. You can see the inspections that you are authorized to view.

• Status filter - Click the filter name to display a list of inspection statuses, including Canceled, Completed, Overdue, Scheduled excluding overdue and Scheduled including overdue. The default value is Scheduled including overdue. Select a status to view the inspections with that status. Remove the filter to view the inspections with any of those statuses. The Overdue status appears as a badge on the inspection in the list.

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, Old to New

• Schedule Start Date, New to Old

• Address

• Status

• Inspection Type, Ascending

• Inspection Type, Descending

• Result

• Business

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. You can use the status filter to view or hide overdue inspections.

Overdue inspections are calculated based on the date selected in the search bar date filter. Any incomplete inspections scheduled for previous dates are overdue. If the date filter 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.
