# Inspection Statuses Explained

# **Inspection Statuses Explained**

Inspection statuses in uAuditor help users quickly understand the **current progress and outcome** of each inspection.

They provide instant visibility into whether inspections are still being completed, successfully finished, or require attention due to detected issues.

Understanding these statuses helps managers monitor execution consistency across locations and teams.

## **Overview of Inspection Status Types**

Inspections typically appear with one of the following statuses:

- New
- In Progress
- Completed (Passed)
- Completed (With Failures)

Each status reflects a different stage of the inspection lifecycle.

## **New**

A **New** inspection has been created but not started yet.

This status appears when:

- an inspection is manually created
- an inspection is generated from a schedule
- an inspection task is assigned but not opened

Managers can use this status to identify inspections that still need to begin.

## **In Progress**

An **In Progress** inspection means the inspector has started answering questions but has not completed the checklist yet.

This helps supervisors:

- track active inspections
- monitor execution during the day
- detect delays before deadlines
- confirm inspectors are working on assigned tasks

It provides early visibility into inspection activity.

## **Completed (Passed)**

A **Completed (Passed)** inspection indicates the checklist was finished without any failure points.

This means:

- all required questions were answered
- validation rules were satisfied
- no critical compliance issues were detected

Managers often use this status to confirm operational consistency across locations ✅

## **Completed (With Failures)**

A **Completed (With Failures)** inspection means the checklist was completed but includes one or more failed responses.

Failures may indicate:

- safety risks
- hygiene issues
- equipment problems
- missing procedures
- compliance deviations

These inspections typically require follow-up actions or corrective measures ⚠️

## **Why Inspection Statuses Are Important**

Inspection statuses help organizations:

- monitor inspection progress in real time
- identify incomplete inspections quickly
- detect operational issues early
- prioritize corrective actions
- track execution performance across teams
- maintain compliance visibility across locations

They provide a simple but powerful operational tracking mechanism.

## **Where Inspection Statuses Appear**

Inspection statuses are visible throughout the platform, including:

- Dashboard charts
- Inspections list
- Tasks module
- Reports and analytics
- Daily statistics summaries

This ensures managers always have visibility into inspection progress.

## **Best Practices for Using Inspection Statuses**

To make the most of inspection status tracking:

- review New inspections daily to prevent missed tasks
- monitor In Progress inspections nearing deadlines
- investigate inspections completed with failures immediately
- confirm expected inspection completion coverage per location
- use status filters in the Inspections list for faster monitoring

Regular status monitoring improves accountability and execution reliability across your organization 📊
