Completing Inspections on the APX SmartCapture App
1. Open the inspection from the Home View of the APX SmartCapture app. The inspection is typically within the Inspection section.
2. Add contact information so that the inspection can be emailed out upon completion. Contact information is typically found within the Contact Information section. Use the + button to add one or more contacts to the inspection record.
3. To complete the inspection, fill out all inspection items. Typically, inspection items are laid out as quick-choice buttons, but your form may differ. Each inspectable item needs to have a value entered (e.g. Pass, Fail, or N/A).
4. To add a photo to an inspection item, tap the Camera button. You can take images using the device camera, or import images from the device library using the Library option. You can also re-use images across fields (select Building Record Image) or use the device's file browser by selecting Browse.
5. Tap an image thumbnail to access editing options. You can draw on the image by tapping the Pencil button, or add Text by tapping the Text button.
Note: You can also add icons to an image for an inspection, though these are more often used for creating preplans.
6. If your form requires a signature, you can tap the + button next to Signature to add a signature.
Note: You can choose to Clear or Delete a captured signature by tapping on the thumbnail of the signature image.
7. To complete the inspection and email it out, tap Email Report.
8. Select a date and then tap Apply to confirm the date of the next inspection. Depending on the result of the inspection, the Re-inspect or Recurring calendar will be selected. The date that is preselected is dependent on your organization settings and the inspection frequency tied to that occupancy.
9. Review the completed inspection report. Select Done when you are ready to move to the next step.
10. If you want to continue to the email, tap Continue. Tap Cancel to return to the inspection.
11. Review the email body, adding any additional content or contacts that are required.
Note: Any information added to the email body at this point will not be reflected in the email shown in Inspection History.
12. Tap the send button to send the inspection email and attached report.
