# Understanding Inspection Reports

# **Understanding Inspection Reports**

An **inspection report** in uAuditor is the final structured summary generated after completing an inspection. It presents checklist responses, scores, detected issues, and supporting evidence in a clear format that helps teams monitor performance and maintain compliance across locations.

Inspection reports provide a reliable record of operational conditions at the time the inspection was performed.

## **What an Inspection Report Includes**

Each inspection report typically contains:

- inspection title
- template used
- inspection status
- inspector name
- location or branch
- inspection date and completion time
- checklist responses
- failed items
- inspection score
- captured evidence (photos, videos, attachments)
- linked corrective actions (if applicable)

This information creates a complete record of inspection activity.

## **How Inspection Reports Are Generated**

Inspection reports are generated automatically when an inspection is completed.

Once finalized:

- responses are locked based on permissions
- scores are calculated
- failed items are highlighted
- evidence is attached to related questions
- actions may be created automatically

Reports become immediately available for review across the platform.

## **Inspection Scores in Reports**

Inspection reports include an automatically calculated score based on template configuration.

Scores may reflect:

- failed checklist responses
- question priority weights
- validation rules
- score ratio settings
- selected response values

Managers use inspection scores to evaluate operational performance across branches.

## **Failed Items in Inspection Reports**

Failed checklist responses are clearly identified inside the report.

This helps teams:

- detect compliance gaps
- prioritize corrective actions
- identify recurring issues
- monitor location-level performance

Failed items often trigger follow-up workflows within the Actions module.

## **Evidence Attached to Reports**

Inspection reports include all captured supporting media such as:

- photos
- videos
- uploaded documents
- attachments linked to checklist questions

Evidence strengthens report credibility and supports audit readiness.

## **Accessing Inspection Reports**

Inspection reports can be opened from multiple areas of the platform:

- Inspections list
- Tasks module (for scheduled inspections)
- Dashboard recent inspections
- Reports and analytics views

Access depends on your assigned permissions.

## **Who Uses Inspection Reports**

Inspection reports are commonly used by:

- operations managers
- quality supervisors
- compliance teams
- regional managers
- auditors and leadership teams

They provide a shared reference point for operational evaluation.

## **Why Inspection Reports Are Important**

Inspection reports help organizations:

- document operational conditions
- verify compliance with internal standards
- monitor branch performance
- support corrective action tracking
- prepare for internal and external audits
- maintain historical inspection records

They transform inspection activity into actionable operational insights.

## **Best Practices for Reviewing Inspection Reports**

To get the most value from inspection reports:

- review failed items immediately after completion
- verify supporting evidence is attached where required
- monitor score trends across locations
- track repeated issues over time
- follow up on linked corrective actions promptly

Regular report review improves consistency and accountability across your organization.
