Introduction

Complete an inspection form when you need to carry out an inspection on an Asset.  Sometimes inspections are mandated by your company, other times they are legally required by the government in your region.  

There are two types of inspections that can be carried out in Texada Mobile:

1. Work Order inspections are completed as part of a Work Order. See “About Work Orders in Texada Web and Texada Mobile" for more information on Work Orders.  
2. Standalone inspections are carried out on the spot as needed or mandated. 

The actual contents of a given inspection form are determined by your SRM administrator. In SRM, administrators can select which inspection forms apply to which Assets, which questions are included on each form, and set a number of additional parameters, such as whether to automatically flag an Asset for repairs based on form responses. See “About Inspections” for more information on inspections. 

Once completed, an inspection is permanently attached to the inspection history for that Asset, and can be reviewed at any time in SRM or Texada Web.

Completing a Work Order Inspection

A Work Order inspection is an inspection completed as part of a Work Order. These inspections must be completed before the Work Order to which they are assigned can be submitted.

Before you can complete a Work Order inspection, you must first claim the inspection. This is necessary when multiple technicians are working on the same Work Order and are completing different portions of the same inspection.

To complete a Work Order inspection form in Texada Mobile, follow the steps below.

1. Launch the Texada Mobile app, then tap “ Work Orders” to view the list of work orders currently assigned to you.
   
   
   
2. Locate the Work Order for which you need to complete an inspection form and tap it to view its details. See “Browsing Work Orders in Texada Mobile” for more information on locating Work Orders.
   
   
   
3. Tap “Inspection” at the top of the screen to navigate to the Inspection tab. This tab contains a list of all the inspection forms associated with this Work Order; depending on the Work Order in question, there may be zero, one, or multiple inspection forms available.
   
   
   
4. Locate the inspection form you wish to complete and tap its name to start the completion process. A popup will appear prompting you to claim the inspection. Tap “YES” to claim the inspection and begin filling out the inspection form.
   
   
   
5. Fill out the inspection form. When filling out inspection forms, keep the following in mind:
   • Work Order inspection forms cannot be edited once the Work Order to which they are attached is complete, so it is important to be as precise as possible and to include as much information as you can. 
   • The fields that compose the form will vary based on the form in question. See “About Inspections” for a breakdown of the various field types. 
   • Depending on the form in question, some or all of the fields may be required. Required fields are marked with an asterisk (*).
6. If you wish to complete multiple inspection forms before submitting the Work Order, repeat steps 4-5 for each additional inspection form.
7. Once you have completed the inspection form(s), tap “Work Complete” to submit the Work Order. You will have a chance to review and modify your answers as part of the Work Order review process; see “Completing a Work Order in Texada Mobile” for more information.

Once you have added an additional form, you can remove it by tapping the “X” next to that form’s header.
