Add an inspection event

The scheduler allows you to add inspection events to the project schedule at any stage of work that requires site inspections and certifications by municipal and county authorities, site walk-throughs by the general contractor and the owner, periodical inspections by stakeholders, etc.

To add an inspection

• Navigate to the schedule page of the project
• Identify the row containing the schedule item after which you want to insert an inspection event
• Right-click on the row and choose 'Add' > 'Inspection' from the options

A new inspection row gets added at the same outline level as the row under which you created the event and is indicated with the icon :

By default, an inspection event has zero duration and inherits the end date of the preceding task under which it is included. They are typically self-assigned and cannot be assigned to other contractors.

• Double-click inside the 'Task Name' cell and enter a label for the checkpoint
• Set the predecessor task for the inspection event. The start date is automatically set as the next day after the end date of the predecessor task. See Add dependencies for more details.
• Change the date for the inspection if required.

The inspection events are also shown in the Gantt chart view of the project schedule.
