SWIM > Inspection Setup > Add/Modify Company Inspection Question

This page allows an SWIM Inspector Admin at the company level to enter company inspection questions. These questions exist at the company level. Once a company inspection question is set up, users at the division level may add them to their inspection sheet(s).

When you create a question on the Company Inspection Question page, you may need to enter failure values for the question or sub-question. If the question type is ”Pick One” or ”Pick Many,” you must then enter values from which the user can choose when answering the inspection question. For example, the question may be ”r;Any cracks in the concrete?” The sub-question may then ask ”r;Where are the cracks located?” You'll have the user pick one or more options to answer the sub-question. You enter these options on the Enter Values page, which is part of the Add Company Inspection Question process.

You can only add a sub-question from the Enter Values page. This page only appears if your question type is Yes/No, Pick One, or Pick Many.

 

To add a company inspection question:

  1. On the SWIM Inspections home page, click the Inspections Setup button. The Inspections Setup page opens.

  2. Click the Add Company Inspection Questions link. The Add Company Inspection Question page opens.

  3. Enter a Question that you want the inspector to answer on the inspection.
