Request approvals in inspections

Learn how to request for approval in inspections via the web app and mobile app.

Submitting approval requests while offline on the mobile app is not currently supported. If a user attempts to submit an approval request, the approver will only receive the notification once the user's mobile app is back online.

Once an inspection with an approval page is approved, it can’t be marked as incomplete.

  5. Once you reach the end of the inspection, click Request approval.
