Creating Violation Cases

This functionality is only applicable to clients utilizing our Code Enforcement Module.

Now that you know how to create inspections using the MAGNET Mobile application, the process of creating a Complaint or Violation is very similar. The main exception is that, with this functionality you are creating the actual "Violation" case rather than just the inspection.

Creating a Violation case from the "Home Page"

To create a Violation, tap on the "Add New" link on the top of the screen.

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

No inspection selected.

Tap on "Add Violation"

This will bring you to the "Violation" creation screen.

• Violation Type
  • Determines if this is a "Complaint" or a "Violation".
• Case Name
  • An optional field for clients that utilize "Case Names".
• Property
  • This select box allows you to select one of the following options:
    • Property
      • Default selection.
      • Allows for the searching of a property by address.
    • Use Location
      • Uses the longitude and latitude of the device.
    • No Address
      • Allows for "Free hand" typing of the location.
• Case Type
  • The type of case for this violation.
• Subcase (If applicable)
  • The subcase for the violation's case.
• Inspector
  • The inspector who will be assigned to this violation.
• Description
  • The description of the violation.

Once you are done completing the fields to create a violation, tap "Create Violation".

After the popup window closes, the app will re-sync and give you any applicable inspections from the new case (providing you are the assigned inspector).

Inspection Selected

If when tapping the "Add New" link, you already have an inspection selected, you will see the following screen. At the bottom you can select "Add New Violation". The process from this point is identical to the process of creating the Violation above.

Creating inspection from the Inspectors View

You can also create Violations 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 a "Violation" from the Home Page with an inspection selected.
