Inspections Tab

The Inspection tab has several fields to provide quick information about the most recent Site inspection and a grid with a list of all inspections for the site.  The records in this grid come from the Survey Site Inspection module.

Field Function

Inspection Freq Units

The type of date units between inspections.

Next Inspection

The date the next inspection should occur. This is calculated in one of two ways.

  • If the Inspection Freq and Inspection Freq Units fields are populated, the system will calculate this field automatically based on the Last Inspection date field.
  • If a user manually enters the Next Insp Date on the previous inspection.
  • If the Inspection Freq and Inspection Freq Units fields are filled out and the user fills out the Next Insp Date on the inspection the program uses whichever the closer date.

    Example: An inspection was completed on 8/15/2014. The user filled out the Next Insp Date as 12/3/2014 but the calculated date is 8/15/2015. This field will display 12/3/2014.

Users can filter records by the Next Inspection Date to identify facilities that need to be inspected.
