Overview of the Mobile Application

The mInspections mobile application consists of modules like Home, Inspections, Actions, and Issues, which help field technicians efficiently manage tasks, prioritize work, and track maintenance activities. The app allows technicians to view, assign, and update inspections, actions, and issues, ensuring timely resolution and effective communication within the team.

The home tab of the mInspections mobile application helps you with the following:
  • View the inspections assigned to you and due for the day. These inspections are categorized as Overdue, Assigned, In-progress, Submitted, and Skipped statuses.
  • View the number of Issues and Actions assigned to you.
  • Create an issue, action, or shift log by tapping the button at the bottom of the screen.

Inspections

The Inspections tab consists of two sub-tabs: My Inspections and Open Inspections.

My Inspections: This sub-tab displays forms assigned to you (the logged-in user). The inspections are grouped based on Start or Due Date & Time. You can search for inspections using the Search bar and filter them by Due Date and Status. Tap on Submitted Inspections and Skipped Inspections to see the lists of submitted and skipped inspections.

Note:
  • Inspections that are overdue, skipped, or submitted are automatically excluded from the list after 24 hours.
  • You can provide a reason for an overdue inspection by opening the inspection, tapping the More icon on the top right, and tapping Overdue Reason, and selecting a reason.
  • If your form authors have provided a buffer time for an inspection while scheduling it, you can still complete the inspection after the due time and submit it. For more details, see Schedule Forms by Frequency and Assign.
Open Inspections: This sub-tab displays forms that are not assigned to any technician. You can select and assign an inspection to yourself. You can also search for inspections using the Search bar and filter them by Due Date, Created By and Inspections (with or without User Group). Tap Forms List to view and generate Ad-Hoc inspections.
