Updating an Inspection for a Task

In uAuditor, inspectors can update an inspection that is already linked to a scheduled task if the inspection has been started but not yet completed. This allows users to continue answering questions, revise responses, or add missing evidence before submitting the final inspection report.

Updating inspections ensures accuracy and completeness before task submission.

When You Can Update an Inspection

An inspection linked to a task can be updated when:

• the inspection has already been started
• the inspection is still in progress
• the inspection has not been submitted yet
• the task deadline has not passed (depending on permissions)

This allows inspectors to continue their work without restarting the inspection.

How to Update an Inspection from a Task

To update an inspection linked to a task:

1. Open the Tasks module
2. Locate the task associated with the inspection
3. Select Continue Inspection
4. The inspection answer page opens
5. Update responses as needed
6. Save or complete the inspection

The task remains linked to the inspection during the entire process.

What Can Be Updated During an Inspection

While updating an inspection, users can:

• modify answers to checklist questions
• upload or replace evidence
• complete unanswered required fields
• adjust notes or comments
• correct selected locations, assets, or users (if applicable)

These updates help ensure inspection data remains accurate and complete.

Updating Inspections Before Submission

It is recommended to review inspections carefully before submitting them.

Inspectors should:

• confirm all required questions are answered
• attach required media evidence
• verify selected responses
• check location and equipment details
• ensure scoring inputs are correct

Completing these checks improves reporting accuracy.

What Happens After Completing the Updated Inspection

Once the inspection is submitted:

• the task status updates automatically
• completion timing determines whether the task is Completed or Completed Late
• the inspection becomes available in reports and analytics
• supervisors can review the inspection results

This ensures scheduled inspections remain properly tracked.

Updating Inspections After the Deadline

If the inspection is updated and submitted after the grace period:

• the task status changes to Completed Late
• the inspection remains valid
• supervisors can still review results normally

This helps maintain visibility even when inspections are delayed.

Best Practices for Updating Inspections Linked to Tasks

To update inspections efficiently:

• review inspection responses before submission
• complete required fields early
• attach supporting evidence during inspection
• monitor task deadlines while editing
• submit inspections as soon as updates are finalized

Updating inspections from tasks ensures accurate reporting and supports consistent execution of scheduled inspections across locations.
