# Inspections

This tab is where you manage and perform safety inspections, audits, and checklists.

## **Performing an Inspection**

1. Click the + button near the bottom right of the Inspections tab.
2. Select a Template: Search for or choose the correct checklist for your task.
3. Enter basic details: Select the Establishment or Entity you are inspecting, who will be performing the inspection, description, expected start date and due date then tap Save.
4. Answer Questions: Tap the Questionnaire tab and go through the checklist items. You may need to answer different types of questions such as Yes/No/NA, Safe/At-Risk, enter numbers, or provide text and dates.
5. Add Context:
  - Notes: Tap "Add notes" to type extra details about a specific question.
  - Attachments: Upload photos to prove compliance or show damage.
  - Issues: If a check fails, you can tap + Add new under "Issues" to immediately create a Corrective Action record linked to that specific question.
6. Finish Up: When all questions are answered, tap Close inspection.
7. Sign & Submit: Enter your closing notes, draw your signature on the screen, and submit the inspection.

## **Managing Inspection Templates**

You can also manage inspection templates directly from the app:

- Create a new template or select an existing template and tap Edit.
- You can add new Sections or Questions.
- When adding a question, you can define if it is required, what type of answer is needed (e.g., Multiple Choice, Text, Photo), and if it requires specific evidence.
