INSPECTIONS

Creating an Issue — Map View

No matter where you are in an inspection, there is a button in the bottom left with a compass icon. If you double tap this icon, it pulls up a layout view of the site with all of the issues flagged. This view is also as interactive as a SolarGrade report. If you tap on the pin once, you will see the name of the issue. If you tap on the pin again, you will be taken to that particular issue within the inspection. It’s the perfect tool for punchlists.

If you double tap the icon again, you can also see your device’s GPS location to find your location on-site.

Creating Issues from the Map View

 

Traditionally, SolarGrade checklists have appeared in a notebook view, allowing you to swipe between sections, categories, and items.

With the layout mode, you can create an issue from the map. To do this:

      • Select the compass icon in the bottom left corner of the inspection.
      • Select the button with the arrow pointing upwards
      • Select the flag icon
      • Choose the location
      • Choose the section, category, and item. If it is a new issue, select OTHER to create a new issue.
      • Add a description, photos and any other related information
      • Select SAVE

You can also add issues by dipping into the repository of recent issues. To do this:

      • Once you select the flag, toggle over to RECENT tab
      • Select the issue that you would like to use
      • Add any additional information
      • Select CLOSE

If you want to duplicate an existing issue, simply:

      • Tap the pin
      • Select the DUPLICATE button
      • Choose a new location
      • Add any additional information
      • Select CLOSE

If you want to delete an existing issue, you can either:

      • Tap the pin
      • Select the DELETE button
      • Confirm that you want to delete that item

OR

      • Select the button with the arrow pointing upwards
      • Select the trash can icon
      • Tap the pin you want to delete
      • Confirm that you want to delete that item
