Inspection Areas
To track inspection items, the inspection needs at least one inspection area. The inspection areas available depend on the selected inspection template. For the NSPIRE inspection template, the three inspection areas are unit area, inside area, and outside area. The tasks to add an area, view and edit inspection items, add findings, complete an area, and delete an area are similar regardless of the area type.
On the Manage inspection page, identify the section (such as Units, Inside, Outside), and then tap Add new.
Select the Area from a list of all units for the property or a list of all buildings for the property, depending on the area type.
The Inspector defaults to the primary inspector on the Inspection record, if one is selected. You can select from a list of available inspectors (imported to your device).
