Creating and Scheduling an Inspection

In addition to completing inspections already assigned to you, you are also able to create new inspections while out in the field.

This functionality requires an internet connection.

You can create an inspection in several ways from the MAGNET Mobile application.

Creating inspections from the "Home Page"

To create an inspection, tap on the "Add New" link on the top of the screen.

When creating an inspection from the Home Page, the functionality will differ depending on if you have an inspection selected currently or not.

No inspection selected.

When creating an inspection without an inspection selected, you will need to locate a case to create the inspection on.

This screen allows you to search for a case using the Applicant, the case number, or the property address.

After entering in the search criteria and selecting the Department, click "Search".

Providing cases are found, you will be provided a list of all matching cases to allow you to select the appropriate one.

After identifying the case needed, simply tap on the case. On the following screen select "Add Inspection".

The "Add Violation" option will only be shown for clients utilizing our Code Enforcement Module


This will bring you to the inspection creation screen.

On this screen you can select the type of inspection that you would like to create. After selecting the proper inspection type, you can either:

  • Create
    • Create the new inspection and leave it unscheduled.
  • Create and Schedule
    • Create the new inspection as well as schedule the inspector and date.


Inspection Selected

If, when tapping the "Add Inspection" link, you already have an inspection selected, you will not need to go through the step of finding the case to attach the inspection to. The app will automatically select the property for you. The other steps remain the same.

Creating inspection from the Inspectors View

You can also create an inspection while on the inspection view.

From the Inspection View screen, click on the + symbol at the top of the screen. The process from this point is exactly the same as creating an inspection from the Home Page with an inspection selected.
