Things to Consider

Steps 

  1. Open the Procore app on an iOS mobile device and select a project.
    Note: This loads the Tools screen for the project.
  2. Tap the quick create icon-plus-quick-create-mobile2.png icon and select Inspection.
    OR
    Tap the Inspections tool and tap the create icon-plus-quick-create-mobile2.png icon.
  3. Tap the template you want to use for the inspection.
    Note: Inspection templates are created by users with 'Admin' permissions to the Company level Inspections tool. If none appear here, contact an Inspections Admin user to have them Create a Company Level Inspection Template or Add Inspection Templates to Your Project.
  4. Tap into the following fields to add the appropriate information:
    • Status: Select the status of the inspection. New inspections are in 'Open' status by default.
      Note: An inspection's status should be set to 'open' when someone begins performing the inspection. It should remain open until there are no more deficient items on the inspection. At this point, you should change the status to 'closed' to indicate that no further action is needed.
