Inspection Review
Overview
After an inspection is performed, it may be assigned to another user for review. When an inspection is routed for review, the assigned reviewer will have access to view and edit the inspection. The original inspector will continue to have access to view and edit the inspection while the inspection is assigned for review. The review is completed when the inspection is marked as complete either by the reviewer or the inspector.
Mobile App Note: Both the nSPECT Web site and mobile app allow assigning an inspection for review; however, only the Web site allows for searching for inspections in Review status. This capability will be added to the mobile app at a future date.
Marking Inspection for Review
Marking an inspection for review is a two step process:
Assign a reviewer
Request inspection review
If a reviewer is not assigned to an inspection before the inspection review is requested, the inspection is added to an Unassigned Review list.
Automatic Reviewer Assignment
For nSPECT installations that are deployed as part of the nVIRO product, the reviewer is automatically set to the inspector's workgroup supervisor. If this is correct, this step may be skipped.
See the appropriate section below depending on whether you are using the nSPECT Web site or mobile app.
Withdrawing an Inspection Review
If an inspection has been set to In Review, but it is later determined the inspection is not ready for review, it can be moved back to In Process by editing the inspection details and removing the Review Requested Date.
Performing an Inspection Review
Note: This function is not yet available on the nSPECT mobile app. Reviews must be performed using the nSPECT Web Site.
Searching for Inspections Needing Review
To view inspections needing review, click the checkbox icon at the bottom of the Inspection List page:
If the checkbox icon does not appear, your account does not have the necessary permissions to perform reviews. Check with your nSPECT administrator if you need your permissions updated.
By default, the Review list shows inspections assigned to the current user for review. To view inspections assigned to others for review, select the user’s name from the reviewer search box displayed at the top of the page. To view inspections under review that are not assigned to a specific reviewer, choose Unassigned from the reviewer search box.
Performing the Review
The review process consists of viewing the inspection forms to verify the answers provided by the inspector. The reviewer may update any answer during the review. The reviewer should communicate with the inspector with any feedback or needed corrections. Since the inspector and reviewer both have edit access to the inspection while the inspection is in review, reviewer and inspector should collaborate on corrections and changes to the inspection data.
Marking the Inspection Complete
Both the reviewer and inspector have the ability to mark an inspection Complete while it is in review. After the inspector and reviewer are satisfied with the inspection data, either user may choose Mark Inspection Complete from either the Inspection Review List or the main Inspections List.
After marking it as complete, the inspection is removed from nSPECT.
