Build, schedule, perform, duplicate, complete, and export inspections.

Quick reference

The 60-second inspection model

Draft → Scheduled → Inspecting → Complete

Status lifecycle

Users with inspection write access can choose the next status or another available status. Returning to an earlier status reopens that phase; use it deliberately because the displayed lifecycle no longer represents the original sequence by itself.

Permissions and visibility

Draft access and general view access are separate. A user may be able to view active inspections without seeing drafts.

Platform availability

Learn about platform availability in Constructable.

Troubleshooting Inspections

Confirm Create new draft inspections access. Drafts are shown separately from active inspections and are not made visible merely by general inspection view access.

Plan and build

4

Understand the inspection lifecycle

Use the overall status to control whether the checklist is being prepared, scheduled, actively scored, or complete.

Create, import, or duplicate an inspection

Choose the method that preserves the right amount of structure without carrying stale evidence.

Build the inspection structure

Organize checks in the order they will be performed in the field.

Find and open inspections

The index separates drafts from active and completed work.

Inspect and report

5

Schedule and start an inspection

Move the record into field work only after its structure and responsibility are ready.

Record item results, observations, and attachments

Score each item and preserve evidence beside the check it supports.

Complete, reopen, or correct an inspection

Complete the record after checking the entire list and resolving how failures will be handled.

Export an inspection PDF

Generate a portable record of the overview, checklist, evidence, and results.

Delete inspection content

Delete at the item or section level when possible; delete the whole inspection only when the record should leave active use.
