How does time tracking work?

Tracking time in the Inspector tablet application

When the time tracking feature in Inspector Mobile is turned on, it will track the duration of each inspection.  If you would like to use this feature and it is not turned on, please call the help desk and they will turn it on for you.

 

How does it track time?

1. The clock starts when the inspector opens the inspection.  Specifically, when the inspector double-clicks the inspection on the Schedule or the occupant in the Search Occupants screen.
2. The clock stops when the inspector closes the inspection from the Checklist screen.
3. The clock starts up again if the inspector edits the inspection from the Current Inspections screen.  
4. It stops again when the inspector closes it again from the Checklist screen.

 

Can the time be adjusted manually?

1. Yes, the inspector can manually adjust the time by clicking on the Time button at the top of the checklist screen.  This is to enable the inspector to correct the time if it does not reflect the actual time spent on the inspection.  
2. Once the inspector adjusts the time, it will stop accumulating.  So if an adjustment is necessary, the inspector should do it at the end of the inspection.
3. The Fire Prevention Mobile (MobileEyes) Administrator will be able to tell that the inspector adjusted the time.  If the Admin edits the inspection from the Commit screen, he/she will see the time in the lower left corner of the Tools tab.  It will say "Adjusted".

Tracking time in Company Inspector Mobile

Company Inspector Mobile also tracks inspection duration.

1. The clock starts when the inspector clicks the Checklist button/tab for an initial inspection or the Open Violations button/tab for a reinspection.
2. The clock stops when the inspector clicks the Finalize button. 

Does time accumulate when you edit an inspection from the Commit screen?

There is no automatic time tracking for editing inspections on the main website.  A user can add or adjust the time of an inspection on the Commit screen by editing it and going to the time tracking area on the Tools tab in the lower left.
