Click the Inspections menu item on the Structure menu to view a structure's planned inspections, existing inspections and add new inspections if required.
Planned and Actual Inspections
Inspections that have already been scheduled will appear in the
Planned Inspections section. When you are ready, click the
Open Inspection link to start working on a CSS Inspection. You can find instructions on completing a CSS Inspection Proforma
here.
Inspections that are being drafted, along with those that have been submitted for sign off will appear in the Actual Inspections section.
Editing Programme Information
Both Planned and Draft Inspections can have their programme information edited by those with appropriate permissions. Click the Edit Icon next to the inspection to modify the inspection type or planned date.
They can also be deleted if required. Click the Delete Icon next the inspection.
Click OK when the confirmation message appears to remove the scheduled inspection.
Once an inspection has been submitted, it is no longer possible to edit the inspection type or planned date, nor can it be deleted. The Edit and Delete Icons are no longer available for these inspections.
If you need to edit an inspection's Planned Date or Type after the inspection has been submitted, or even after it has been accepted, you will first have to set the inspection back to Draft Status.
You can read more about Updating the Status here:

Cloning an Existing Inspection
For some organisations the Clone Inspection option will be activated. This allows a user to clone an existing inspection form and its element conditions. This may be particularly useful if the structure's condition has not changed significantly since the last inspection. The cloning is limited to the inspection details and element conditions sections and will not clone any photographs or sign off information.
If this feature is activated the Clone Inspection button will display next the the inspection in the Actual Inspections section. Click on the Clone button to create a new inspection based off this older inspection, the form will be given the current date and financial year and will be marked as a Draft Inspection.
