Inspections

In the mobile view, it is possible to add a virtual inspection. To enable this, you must enable this option in the configuration flags.

When this flag is enabled, an additional (+) button will appear after switching to the mobile view, which will allow you to add an inspection directly from this view. The addition is identical to the desktop application.

Performing an Inspection loads all the information needed to perform an inspection and presents it in tabbed form. The interface is adapted to work on mobile devices and adapts to the available space.

Depending on whether an inspection has defined questions/measurements/tasks then the corresponding sections of the inspection execution are visible or not.

The question list presents each question in a separate section. The sections are colored alternately so that it is clear to which question all the controls belong. The question displays its content. Under the (i) button, an additional description of the question is available. Depending on whether the question is a YES/NO or an enumeration type, the system presents a set of buttons or a checkbox. When a question is completed, the icon changes from gray to green. Questions marked with an asterisk (*) are mandatory questions to answer.

For questions with a text answer, additional text fields appear with the opportunity to enter the answer and save additional information.

The measurements section contains all measurements defined in the inspection. The list indicates the correctness of the measurement taken by changing the icon to green. If an error (e.g., exceeding the range) occurs during the measurement validation, the icon is changed to a yellow warning triangle. For each measurement, you can use the measurement icon to select the measurement device with which the measurement was performed. Marking a measurement as N/D means, an indication that the measurement was unavailable for execution.

For measurements/whole inspections, it is possible to indicate the measurement equipment that was used during the measurement. This is realized in the Equipment section. To it, you can add in a list of devices that will be available in the inspection report and available for indication at the measurement, with which measurement device this measurement was made. In addition, you can add a device by scanning a code, if the device has such an identifier.

The task list contains information on the necessary tasks to complete a given inspection. According to the definitions, a task can be scanning the RFID code of a device, taking pictures or attaching files. Completion of a task is indicated by a green icon.

The summary section allows you to record textual information about the completion of the inspection, mark the status of the inspection, e.g., whether the device requires additional attention/repair, and record executor/contractor signatures. If a signature is required the corresponding button lights up in red. In addition, the date of the next inspection of this type can be specified here.

If the option about changing the date of the inspection is checked in the inspection template, there will be an additional space in the summary for entering the actual execution of the inspection.

In addition, it is possible to add photos and other files to the inspection. This can be done in the Notes section where we include photos taken directly by the device or available in the device’s file system.

The inspection execution system can be terminated by either Saving the data. In this case, the inspection is only saved in the database and you can return to it at any time. Selecting the Exit option verifies that the inspection has been performed correctly (that all steps have been performed) and marks the inspection as having been performed correctly. Which causes this inspection to proceed to the next stage of work execution (checking, report generation).
