About Inspection Tasks and Recommendations

Based on the results of an inspection, you might need to suggest that further action be taken. For example, if you inspect an area of a warehouse and notice that the roof is leaking, you may want to suggest that the ceiling tiles be replaced.

You can create a new Inspection Task record that indicates that the ceiling tiles need to be replaced, or you could create an Inspection Recommendation record to record the recommendation to replace the ceiling tiles. Your business processes will dictate whether you should create an Inspection Task record or a Recommendation record. For example, inspectors may need to report all recommendations to a supervisor for approval. The supervisor might then be responsible for approving the recommendation, creating an associated Inspection Task record, and assigning that Inspection Task record to the appropriate inspector.

Additionally, if the Thickness Monitoring license is active and TM Analyses exist for the Equipment records that you analyze in Inspection Management, you can specify that Inspection Task records be updated based upon Thickness Measurement records that you create in Thickness Monitoring. Specifically, the value in the Last Date field in the Inspection Task record will be populated with the value in the Measurement Taken Date field in the Thickness Measurement records that you create via the TM Measurement Data Entry page.
