How to create a building & add inspection items (Best Practice Guide)

Buildings are a core component of Inspect Point. They not only store location information, notes, attachments, and reports, but also store inspection information - such as systems, assets, fire alarm systems, etc..

Step-by-Step

From the Buildings tab on the sidebar menu, click the + New Building option located in the upper-right corner of the screen

Fill in the Info and Address fields 

Note: Name and Physical Address is what appears in the field for the technicians, as well as what appears on the inspection report

Additional information, such as reference number, territory and contract start and end information is placed in the Detail section

Any information added in the Monitoring Information section appears on the report

Technicians can also add/edit this information in the field 

If you'd like to add monitoring information, but do not want this on the report, please contact your Customer Success Manager to disable the information from printing

To add inspection items (e.g., systems, assets, backflows, fire alarm systems):

• Click Setup.

• Click the + icon to the right of the inspection item type (e.g., Systems +, Assets +).

• If a dropdown is available, select the appropriate type and enter a name for the item.

If you need more than one of the same item (e.g., two wet systems):

• Click the + icon again for each additional item.

• Select Wet from the dropdown.

• Give each item a unique name.

Every item must have a name. If any item is left unnamed, you will not be able to save the building.

Individual items that belong in groups, Fire Extinguishers, Exit Signs, and Fire Doors, get added to the group, once the group is added to the building 

Click Save (top right corner of screen) when done.
