Inspections.
The inspection workflow, from daily queue to sign-off, with deficient findings auto-creating follow-up tasks.
Daily queue
Each user lands on a daily queue that surfaces what's due. The queue shows inspections due, overdue follow-ups, open complaints, and unassigned tasks. Coordinators can see workload across the team; inspectors see their own work first.
Inspection record fields
- Site context (address, parcel, classification, related contacts).
- Photos attached to the inspection.
- GPS captured at creation time from the browser.
- Inspection type, weather-assisted fields, and any custom fields configured in the tenant.
- Findings, including a deficient flag and free-text observations.
- Follow-up tasks created from deficient findings, with due date and assignee.
Mobile-friendly capture
Inspections are created and edited in a mobile-friendly browser experience. The form is laid out for one-handed use in the field, including photo attachment, GPS confirmation, and the deficient flag. A native iOS app is planned and is not shipped today.
Cadence tracking
Each site type can carry an inspection cadence (for example, an annual inspection on construction sites, a quarterly check on a high-risk facility). The workspace flags sites whose next inspection is approaching or overdue, so coordinators can build a route without keeping a parallel spreadsheet.
Deficient findings and follow-up tasks
When an inspection finding is marked deficient, NPDESTracker auto-creates a follow-up task with a due date and an assignee. Closure evidence lives on the task itself (photos, notes, the date the issue was resolved). The follow-up shows on the assignee's queue until it's closed, and remains traceable from the originating inspection.
Inspector sign-off
Saved inspections carry timestamped user attribution. The sign-off serves audit purposes (knowing who recorded what, and when) and is not used as a performance metric or productivity score.
