Building Inspection Header Data

The Building Inspections header fields contain general information used to identify each building inspection. The header appears at the top of the module window and remains visible as users navigate through the module's tabs.

Field Name

Use/Purpose

Property ID Tag

Links the inspection to a customer's Address record. When a user selects a Property ID Tag, the system automatically completes the Address fields with the associated information.

Address * Apartment/Suite

Records an address for the inspection location, along with an apartment/suite number.

If a user enters an address that appears in the Customer module, the US and DS Structure numbers associated with that address will automatically be populated in the corresponding fields.

If a user enters an address that does not exist in the Customer module, the system prompts him or her to add it to the Customer Address Database.  A sample of the prompt appears below:

Address Prompt

Note: To save changes to the record, the Address field must be filled in.

US Structure

DS Structure

Alt Pipe ID *

Identifies the pipe from the Pipe Inventory with which the inspection record is associated.

Pipes are identified by their Alt Pipe ID and are generally tied to an upstream and downstream (US and DS) structure. Selecting a US Structure or an Alt Pipe ID automatically completes the other two fields. Click a caption button or click in either field and press F9 for a pop-up list of pipes to select.

Inspection Date * & Crew

Indicate the date the inspection occurred and the crew that performed the inspection.

Parcel Number

Identifies the parcel number for the building.

Building Rec #
