How to Search for Individual Inspections


brett.cook741

I am using inspections as a way log reports of specific loads our job has completed. Each load has a unique identifier called a “Load Number.” The user making the report fills out a question and puts in this specific load number. I would like to be able to search all of the inspections done for the specific Load Number I am searching for, and have it pull up.

Hey ​@brett.cook741 - thank you for the message. Can I ask what type of response type the Load Number is (ie multiple choice, number, text)?

It is a text response

Hey ​@brett.cook741,

Unfortunately, filtering or sorting the inspections list by text responses isn’t available just yet. However, I believe there’s another way to accomplish what you need.

If you change the response type for "Load Number" from "Text" to "Document Number," inspectors will have the flexibility to update the document number as needed during inspections (note: it doesn’t have to be a number, it can be a text value). This value is then displayed on the inspections page and becomes searchable.

Please see the screenshot below for an example. Would this solution work for you?

This is a good work around, looks like it works the way I need it to. Do you know if there is an update planned in the future to be able to search by specific answers to questions? It could be useful to filter all reports from one location that have a “No” in answer three and a “maybe” in answer 15 for example.

Hey ​@brett.cook741 - glad this will suit your needs!

This is a relatively common request that we do get. There is some foundational work that needs to be completed on our end before it can be implemented. Once we have some some firm dates, I’ll be sure to reach back out.

Thanks!

Karen
