View and link open actions in inspections
Learn how to view and link open actions in inspections via the web app and the mobile app.
What does it mean to link open actions?
Creating actions while conducting inspections has never been easier, allowing your team to highlight problems that require attention as tasks and resolve them together. However, we understand that team members can sometimes create similar actions that never get completed. With that in mind, you can view and link any open actions created in inspections to reduce duplication and increase the completion rate.

Frequently asked questions
Actions can be moved back to an open status to link or unlink them in an inspection.
