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.

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.

How do open actions work?

Actions created in previous inspections that are in open (unresolved) statuses will be visible if the inspections meet the following criteria:

  • You have access to the previous inspections.

  • Your current inspection uses the same template as the previous inspections.

  • Your current inspection has the same site or asset selected as the previous inspections.

On the web app, Open actions will only show if at least one action has been created for the question in another inspection.
