Installing and Configuring Oracle Inspector

You must install and configure the Oracle Inspector to use the mobile inspections application in the field.

Oracle Permitting and Licensing provides a mobile inspections application for agency staff to download and install on their mobile devices. The Oracle Inspector mobile application is not intended for use by the public. Although the Oracle Inspector mobile application is intended mainly for phones, you can download the application to other mobile devices, such as tablets.

Before You Begin

Before you begin installing and configuring the Oracle Inspector mobile application, you must have:

• An agency staff profile

  Make sure that you have an agency staff profile to log into the mobile application. Because the application package configuration is secure, you must enter your login credentials before the environment begins to download. Agency administrators set up the agency staff profiles.

• Appropriate security

  Agency administrators must explicitly grant mobile application access to you. You can open the application but need the proper credentials. The only roles that have access to the mobile application are building inspector and inspector supervisor.

For more information for agency system administrators setting up profiles and security, see Setting Up Users for Oracle Mobile Applications.

Installing Oracle Inspector

You must install the Oracle Inspector mobile application on your mobile device from the iOS App Store for Apple iOS devices or Google Play for Android devices. Follow the instructions for installing Oracle Inspector provided by the application store.

Configuring the Oracle Inspector Environment

1. On your mobile device, access the email that you have received from your administrator and click the Mobile Application Activation link.

2. Click the Agree button on the End User License Agreement page the first time you open Oracle Inspector or when you reinstall the mobile application.

   You must agree to proceed to the next step.

3. The confirmation page appears with the Application Host URL automatically populated. Click the Get Started button.

4. Because the application package configuration is secure, you must enter your login credentials before the environment begins to download. Enter your user ID and password.

5. Select the Save user ID check box, if desired. The next time you return after logging out, you don’t have to reenter your user ID.

6. After your login credentials are successfully authenticated, the setup page appears with a progress bar displaying the progress of the package download.

7. After installation completes, the application home page – Inspection Tasks – appears for the current day.

For more information about inspection tasks in Oracle Inspector, see Viewing Inspection Tasks.

Resetting the Application Host URL

If you want to reset the application host URL after you've already installed the mobile application and entered the URL in the configuration, you must remove and reinstall the mobile application.
