Inspections

Reviewing & Follow-up

Read inspection results, turn failed checks into issues and work orders, resolve inspections, and find inspections from vehicles, issues, and work orders.

Reviewing & Follow-up

Every filed inspection records its result, its answers, and who submitted it. From a failed inspection you can raise an issue or open a work order in one step, and the inspection stays linked to both so you can follow the fix through.

The Inspections List

Navigate to Fleet-Ops → Maintenance → Inspections. The list shows every inspection, newest first:

ColumnDescription
InspectionThe inspection's ID. Click it to open the inspection.
FormThe inspection form it was filled in from
VehicleThe vehicle inspected
DriverThe driver recorded on the inspection
ResultPassed or Failed
FailedHow many checks failed
SubmittedWhen the inspection was filed

Use the search box, or filter by Inspection ID, Result, or Submitted date. Each row's menu offers View inspection, Edit inspection, Delete inspection, and — when they apply — Submit, Create issue, Create work order, and Resolve. To delete several inspections at once, select them and choose Delete selected....

Reading an Inspection

Click an inspection to open it. The page is titled after the form, for example Daily Walk-round Submission, and has three tabs: Overview, Photos, and Audit.

Overview

The top of the Overview tab summarises the inspection:

FieldDescription
InspectionThe inspection's ID. Click it to copy it.
ResultPassed or Failed
FormThe form it was filled in from. Click it to open the form.
StatusWhere the inspection is in its lifecycle (see below)
Vehicle / DriverWho and what was inspected. Click either to open it.
Submitted ByThe person the inspection is credited to. For an inspection submitted through a link, this also says it came Through a public link, PIN verified.
Odometer / Engine HoursThe readings recorded with the inspection
SubmittedWhen the inspection was filed
ResolvedWhen the inspection was resolved

Below the summary, the answers are laid out group by group, the way the form reads, with each Pass / Fail check marked Pass, Fail, or N/A. Failed checks show their severity, whether they were marked Unsafe to operate, and their comment and photos. The tally at the bottom counts passes, failures, and N/A answers, and the Defects list collects the failed checks.

The Follow Up section at the bottom shows the Linked Issue and Linked Work Order, if any. Each is a card with the record's ID, title, status, and priority — plus the due date for a work order. Click a card to open the issue or work order.

Results

ResultMeaning

Statuses

StatusMeaning

SubmittedFiled from the console or through an inspection link
Needs ReviewFlagged for a supervisor to look at. Set it yourself by editing the inspection and changing its Status.
ResolvedFollow-up is complete. Set by the Resolve action.

The Photos Tab

The Photos tab gathers the photos filed with the inspection, including those attached to failed checks. You can upload more there, such as close-ups taken after the inspection. JPEG, PNG, GIF, and WebP images are accepted.

Signatures aren't shown on the Photos tab. They're shown in their Signature field on the Overview tab.

The Audit Tab

The Audit tab lists the changes made to the inspection record, and when.

Following Up Failed Checks

When an inspection fails, open its actions menu (the button in the header) or its row menu in the list. The follow-up actions are:

ActionWhat it doesWhen it's offered
Create IssueRaises an issue for the failed checks against the vehicle and driverThe inspection failed and has no linked issue yet
Create Work OrderOpens a work order for the vehicle with a checklist of the failed checks. If the inspection has no issue yet, it raises the issue first.The inspection failed and has no linked work order yet
ResolveMarks the inspection Resolved and records the timeThe inspection isn't resolved yet

Each inspection can have one linked issue and one linked work order. Once one exists, its action disappears from the menu, so you can't create a duplicate. Open the existing one from the Follow Up section instead.

Creating an Issue or Work Order

Open the failed inspection and choose Create Issue or Create Work Order from the actions menu.

Review the confirmation. It explains what will be created and lists the failed checks it's created from, with their severity. It also notes how many checks were marked unsafe to operate and, for a work order, when it will be due.

Click Create Issue or Create Work Order to confirm.

The new issue or work order appears straight away in the inspection's Follow Up section. If nothing on the inspection failed, the confirmation says Nothing failed on this inspection, so there is nothing to raise. and the confirm button is unavailable.

What Gets Created

The priority of both records is the highest severity among the failed checks. If none of the failed checks has a severity, the priority is High.

The issue:

  • Is raised against the inspection's vehicle and driver, reported by the person the inspection is credited to.
  • Is titled Failed inspection: followed by the vehicle's name, or the inspection's ID if no vehicle was recorded.
  • Lists the failed checks in its report.
  • Starts with the status Pending.

The work order:

  • Is opened against the inspection's vehicle, with the status Open.
  • Is titled Inspection repair: followed by the vehicle's name, or the inspection's ID if no vehicle was recorded.
  • Has a checklist item for each failed check, each one required.
  • Is due in 1 day if any failed check is Critical, and in 7 days otherwise.
  • Asks the workshop to resolve the failed inspection items and record completion details.

Work through the issue and the work order as you normally would. See Issues and Work Orders.

Resolving an Inspection

Choose Resolve from the actions menu and confirm with Resolve Inspection. The inspection's status becomes Resolved and its Resolved time is set.

Resolving the inspection doesn't close its issue or work order. They stay open until you close them yourself. Resolve the inspection once follow-up is in hand, and track the repair itself on the work order.
