  • Easily add and edit an approval step within any inspection using the template builder. 
  • Select an approver for a template. Approvers can be an individual, a group, or dynamically selected based on site and group membership.
  • Request approvals during the inspection process to ensure proper sign off by the assigned person or group.
  • Receive notifications when an inspection has been sent to you for approval. 
  • Filter and sort inspections based on the approval status and approver. 
  • View approval data such as the status and approver name in the inspection details. 

How to get started with the new release

Approvals for Inspections is available to premium & enterprise SafetyCulture customers. You can add approvals to any new or existing template using the template builder.

Hi.

This is an awesome product update that allows us to bring yet another process inside the Safety Culture platform. 

On the “Inspections” menu you can filter between status’ of “In progress/Pending Approval/Complete”, however, when setting up an inspection status report in Analytics, you only have the options of “Incomplete/Complete/Archived”. It would be great if the option “Pending Approval” could be added to the inspection status options inside Analytics as well. 

 

Cheers


Hey @Joey_886  – thanks for sharing your feedback! I completely agree that adding more filtering options in Analytics would be really beneficial, and I’m sure other members of the Community would feel the same. We’d love for you to submit this as a seperate idea, so others can vote and share their thoughts to see how this feature could help them too. Plus, our Product team keeps a close eye on those ideas to help with prioritising future updates! 🙂
