Creating an inspection in InspectU takes just a few steps. Before you start, you’ll want to know which audit type you’re running and which location or area you’re targeting.

1. Log in to InspectU and go to the Inspections section from your dashboard.
2. Go to Templates and select the audit template you want to use — for example, Safety Audit, Quality Audit, or a Custom template your team has set up.
3. Fill in the inspection header: site name, date, auditor name, and the area or shift being audited.
4. Work through the questions. Answer Yes, No, or N/A based on what you actually observe — not what you think or hope is happening.
5. Attach photos to any question where you see an issue. A photo is worth more than a written note.
6. Log any issue in the corrective action section. Assign it to a person and set a due date.
7. Submit the inspection when complete. The record is saved and available for review immediately.

Tips for Your First Inspection

• Answer every question based on direct observation. Walk to the area. Look at the thing. Don’t guess.
• Use N/A honestly — it means the question doesn’t apply, not that you skipped it.
• Take photos liberally. Even a passing item can be documented with a photo for future reference.
• If you see an issue, log it right away. Don’t save it for the end — details fade.
