Custom Scheduling

Custom scheduling in uAuditor allows organizations to create flexible inspection schedules by selecting specific weekdays and assignment times that match operational routines. This option is ideal when inspections must follow non-standard timing patterns that cannot be handled by simple daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly intervals.

Custom schedules help ensure inspections align precisely with how teams actually operate across branches and shifts.

When to Use Custom Scheduling

Custom scheduling is useful when inspections must occur on selected days rather than at fixed intervals.

Common examples include:

• inspections every Sunday and Wednesday
• checks only on working days
• alternating weekday inspections
• shift-based inspection routines
• inspections before weekend peak hours
• equipment checks on selected maintenance days

Using custom scheduling improves operational flexibility while maintaining consistency.

How Custom Scheduling Works

When configuring a custom schedule:

• one or more weekdays are selected
• assignment time is defined
• tasks are generated automatically on the selected days
• assigned inspectors receive tasks in the Tasks module
• inspections follow the configured grace period

Each generated inspection follows the selected template structure.

Selecting Multiple Inspection Days

Custom schedules allow selecting several days within the same week.

For example:

• Sunday and Wednesday for hygiene inspections
• Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday for shift readiness checks
• weekdays only for operational walkthroughs

This ensures inspections occur exactly when needed without unnecessary repetition.

Setting Assignment Time for Custom Schedules

Assignment time determines when inspectors receive the task.

For example:

• a schedule set for Sunday at 8:00 AM creates tasks at that time weekly
• inspectors can begin immediately after assignment
• notifications are triggered at the same time if enabled 🔔

Choosing the correct assignment time improves completion consistency.

Supporting Operational Shift Patterns

Custom scheduling works well in environments with rotating responsibilities or staggered supervision coverage.

Examples include:

• morning-only inspection routines
• alternate-day supervisor visits
• pre-opening branch verification
• midweek equipment calibration checks

This allows inspection workflows to match real operational conditions instead of forcing fixed cycles.

Updating Custom Schedules

Custom schedules can be modified at any time.

You can update:

• selected weekdays
• assignment time
• assigned inspectors
• inspection template
• grace period
• notification settings

Updates apply only to future generated inspection tasks.

Best Practices for Configuring Custom Schedules

To configure effective custom schedules:

• match inspection timing with branch activity levels
• avoid assigning inspections outside working hours
• distribute inspections evenly across the week
• review missed inspections after schedule adjustments
• align schedules with supervisor availability 👥

Custom scheduling helps organizations maintain precise inspection timing while adapting to complex operational workflows across multiple locations.
