Approving inspection results

The Approve Inspection Results form consists of two pages: the Parameters page and the Preview page. On the Parameters page, you can define the selection criteria for locating the inspection points to process in the batch. The Preview page allows you to preview all of the inspection points selected for processing based on the selection parameters, enabling you to select or unselect inspection points to include in the batch generation process before you actually process the inspection point batch. You can select or unselect individual inspection points for processing, or you can select or unselect all inspection points for processing.

Note: In order to approve inspection points, you must have the necessary authorizations to the Approve Inspection Result form and the Preview page, and you must enter a specific organization.

To approve inspection results:

Open the Approve Inspection Results form. The system automatically populates Organization.

Note: To select previously defined parameters, select the name of the set of parameters in Parameter List.
Organization—Enter the organization to which the inspection point belongs if you use multi-organization security.
Route, Work Order, PM, Equipment Type, Equipment, Location, Department, Equipment Class, and/or Category, and Inspection Status—Enter one or all of these selection parameters for generating the inspection point batch.
Click Process.
Select—Select each inspection point you wish to approve in the inspection point batch as necessary, or you can unselect each inspection point you do not wish to approve in the inspection point batch as necessary.

Note: To select all the inspection points at once, check Select. To unselect all the inspection points at once, uncheck Select.
Click Approve. The system updates the Inspection Status of any affected work orders. If any errors occur, then the system changes the record’s visual attribute to red and displays an error message in the Error Message column of the Preview list.

Note: If you have set up the system to require an electronic signature to authorize status changes to work order headers or to create work orders, the system displays the eSignature popup once for every inspection point in the inspection point batch for which there is a status change or a new work order is created.
