Make a User an Inspector

Many permitting workflows in PLL require at least one inspection, so it is important to have enough qualified inspectors to keep up with demand.

PREREQUISITES: The Users security function and its associated sub-functions must be selected for the security role you belong to. See Security Roles for more information. The Inspector security function and its associated sub-functions must be selected for the security role you belong to. See Security Roles for more information. You must have already added the user to the system. See Add a User for more information.

IMPORTANT: Unless there is a default inspector listed for a particular discipline, when an inspection is scheduled it is assigned to the inspector with the highest priority who is available at the requested time. If multiple inspections are requested at the same time, the inspections are assigned to the available inspectors in descending order of their priority for the given discipline.

If two inspectors have the same priority for a given discipline, the inspection will be assigned based on the inspectors' user IDs. For example, if one inspector had the user ID of 37 and the other had the user ID of 52, the task would be assigned to the inspector with the user ID of 37.

1. From the home page, click PLL and click Users.

TIP: You can filter the list of records displayed. See Filter Records for more information.

2. Select the user you want to assign as an inspector.

3. Select the Inspector check box.

A checkmark will display in the Users panel, within the Inspector column, for the newly updated user.

Once the user is made an inspector, their inspector profile can be configured on the Inspector Setup page. See Inspector Setup for more information.

NOTE: Admin automatically saves the changes you make. A notification pops up at the bottom to verify changes have been saved.
