Creating Inspections

Step-by-step guide through the 3-step creation wizard — source selection, details & scope, and party assignments.

Creating an inspection is a 3-step wizard that takes you from choosing a template to assigning parties. The inspection is ready to execute immediately after creation.

Create Inspection wizard showing collection and checklist source selection — Step 1 — choose from collections or individual checklists

Step 1 — Choose Source

Select what checklist(s) the inspection will use:

Source Type	When to Use
From Collection	Multi-part inspections — a collection groups related checklists (e.g., "Concrete Pre-Pour" includes Reinforcement + Formwork + Safety)
From Checklist	Single-focus inspections — one specific checklist for a targeted check

Individual checklists carry a category badge — Concrete, Steel, MEP, Safety or Closeout for the ones the app labels, and whatever was typed for anything else.

Step 2 — Details & Scope

Configure what's being inspected:

Field	Required	Description
Name	Yes	Type a name — the step will not advance without one.
Location	No	Free text for site location (e.g., "Tower A, Level 3, Column Grid B2-B5")
Scope	—	Not set in this wizard. An inspection carries a WBS scope only when you start it from that item's page in the WBS — the scope and the name are filled in for you there.

Step 3 — Party Assignments

Assign team members to the review workflow:

Party assignment step showing Performer, Checker, and Approver role slots with member selection — Step 3 — assign team members to each party role

Role	Who	What They Do
Performer	Field inspector	Records Pass/Fail/NA verdicts on each item
Checker	First reviewer	Reviews performer's work, agrees or disagrees
Approver	Final authority	Makes the accept/reject decision

All Roles Required

All party slots must have a team member assigned before the inspection can be created — there is no way to fill them in later. Each party must also be a different person.

Single-party mode: If only one person is handling the inspection, remove the Checker and Approver rows so a single party remains, then assign that person. The inspection is then created as single-party, with one Complete Inspection step instead of a review chain. Assigning the same person to more than one party is rejected.

After Creation

The inspection appears in the hub as Not Started. The Performer can click it to open the detail page and begin recording verdicts.
