# Completing an Inspection

# **Completing an Inspection**

Completing an inspection in uAuditor finalizes checklist responses and generates an inspection report that reflects operational performance, detected issues, and supporting evidence.

Once an inspection is completed, its status is updated and results become available for supervisors, reports, analytics, and corrective action workflows.

## **When an Inspection Can Be Completed**

An inspection can be completed after:

- all required questions are answered
- required media attachments are uploaded (if configured)
- validation rules are satisfied
- mandatory selections such as location or assets are confirmed

If any required inputs are missing, the system prevents submission until they are completed.

## **How to Complete an Inspection**

To complete an inspection:

1. Review all checklist responses
2. Confirm required questions are answered
3. Upload required evidence where needed
4. Tap or click **Complete Inspection**
5. Confirm submission

The inspection status will immediately update after completion.

## **What Happens After Completing an Inspection**

Once an inspection is completed:

- the inspection becomes a report
- the inspection score is calculated automatically
- failed items are recorded
- supporting evidence is saved
- corrective actions may be created automatically (if configured)
- the inspection status changes to **Passed** or **Completed with Failures**

This ensures inspection outcomes are immediately available for review.

## **Inspection Status After Completion**

After submission, inspections appear with one of the following results:

**Completed (Passed)**

All checklist responses meet the expected standards.

**Completed (With Failures)**

One or more checklist responses indicate non-compliance or issues that require follow-up.

These statuses help managers prioritize corrective actions.

## **Completing Inspections Linked to Tasks**

If an inspection is created from a scheduled task:

- completing the inspection updates the task status automatically
- the task becomes **Completed** or **Completed Late**
- the inspection remains linked to the task record

This ensures scheduled inspection tracking remains accurate.

## **Reviewing Responses Before Submission**

Before completing an inspection, it is recommended to:

- verify numeric readings
- confirm selected locations and assets
- attach required media
- review failed responses
- ensure instructions were followed correctly

Careful review improves reporting accuracy.

## **When an Inspection Cannot Be Completed**

An inspection cannot be submitted if:

- required questions are unanswered
- required evidence is missing
- validation rules are not satisfied
- mandatory fields are incomplete

The system highlights missing inputs so they can be corrected.

## **Best Practices for Completing Inspections**

To ensure reliable inspection results:

- complete inspections immediately after performing checks
- capture clear supporting evidence
- review failed responses carefully
- confirm all required fields are filled
- avoid leaving inspections unfinished for extended periods

Completing inspections properly ensures accurate reporting and supports effective operational monitoring across your organization.
