Completing An Inspection
A complete inspection connects project context, control item, attached shared form answers, optional drawing location, and evidence files in one saved record.
Before you begin
- Make sure you are in the correct project.
- Confirm the project has an active control plan.
- Choose the correct category and control item.
- Confirm the control item has a published shared form attached.
- Have any required photos, files, or drawing location ready.
Inspection workflow
- 1Open the control item
Start from the project control plan and select the item you are inspecting.
- 2Load the attached form
The portal loads the shared form linked to the control item. The submitted form_id must match the control item.
- 3Answer visible questions
Complete the form in order and follow required, blocking, conditional, and product-field behavior.
- 4Add a drawing location if relevant
Select the drawing or PDF and place a pin when the inspection needs a precise visual location.
- 5Attach evidence
Add photos or files to the relevant upload fields before submitting.
- 6Submit the record
The portal saves answers, attachments, drawing information, and project context as the inspection record.
Backend validation rejects inspections when the submitted form does not match the selected control item's attached form, or when the form is not published.
After submission
- Open the inspection detail to confirm answers and attachments were saved.
- Use the submission code when discussing the record with teammates.
- If attachment URLs stop loading later, refetch the inspection detail to refresh signed URLs.
- If an edit is needed, keep existing attachment keys for files you want to retain.
