Inspections section

Item condition assessments​

Use inspections to plan and perform investigations of your organisation's assets. Record the state of an asset's condition by filling in data fields, answering yes/no to pre-defined questions and attaching photos from your device. Inspections can discover defects, which can then be fixed with jobs. To learn more, see Inspections in Alloy Web.

While inspections are typically registered against asset items, they can also be registered against other activity items, e.g. an inspection may be needed to confirm a defect or verify that a job was completed satisfactorily.

When viewing an item's details, the Inspections section lists any past, present and future inspections related to it.

Select an inspection item to open it and view its details. To return to the original item, use the breadcrumbs to navigate backwards, or use your browser's back button ⬅️.
