Modifying Inspection Requests

You can update inspections while they are still open, before the inspector has provided results. For example, you can add comments or attachments, make an inspection required, update the location contact, and more.

Updating an Inspection

You can update an inspection request on the inspection details page, such as making an inspection required or claiming an inspection. You can't update a permit inspection if the status of the inspection is Canceled or Completed, and you can't change the inspection type for an inspection.

You can cancel, reschedule, or postpone an inspection from the actions menu in list of inspections on the Inspections page, or on the inspection details page. For information about canceling, rescheduling, or postponing an inspection as well as the other available actions, see Modifying Inspection Requests.

In the action menu for an inspection, select the View Detail option to open the inspection details. The inspection type and number identifies the inspection at the top of the page.

Here are the updates you can make:

Inspection Details - Details Tab

Element	Description
Required	Turn on this switch to indicate that this inspection type is required to complete the application. The Required switch defaults to the inspection type settings on the Inspection Group Details page, but you can override it. If the inspection is not part of the inspection group, the setting defaults to not required.
Assign to me	If the link is available, you can click Assign to me to claim an inspection assigned to another inspector. The inspector who claims the inspection must have the Building Inspector job function for permit inspections (or the Business License Inspector job function for business license inspections), with district and inspection type job attributes that match the inspection's district and type attributes. When an inspector claims the inspection, they can also select a new inspection date or date and time. If the Inspection Rescheduled communication event and template are configured by your agency, the system generates a notification when you reschedule the inspection.
