Clone an Inspection
Updated over a week ago

Cloning inspections is perfect for brand new developments or properties with similar layouts or conditions. It allows you to copy conditions and comments from one property to an inspection on another property.

It's simple enough to use as we have integrated it into the same window when you create an Inspection on the CMS.

πŸ“ *Please bear in mind that when cloning inspections, you will only be able to Clone Condition Codes and Comments. Photos will not be selectable when Cloning inspections. The property layout that you are copying from will also come across and apply to the property that you are copying to. Please be mindful of this.

Simply tap on '+ New Inspection' from the Inspections page or an individual Property and then select the required Inspection options: Inspector, Type, Date & Time.

Below the required options you will have the standard option to use 'Last Inspection Data' and the new option to 'Clone inspection from'. As with Last Inspection Data, Cloning inspections also require the inspection that you are copying from to be in a Closed status and of the same report-type structure.

  • Routine inspections can copy/clone only to/from other Routine inspections. They cannot copy/clone from Ingoing or Outgoing inspections.

  • Ingoing and Outgoing inspections can copy/clone to/from either Ingoing or Outgoing inspections. They cannot copy/clone from Routine inspections.

Search up the address of the property that you wish to copy the inspection from into the search box. You will then see a drop-down list of closed inspections that exist on the property that you are copying from.

Once you've selected your inspection from the drop-down list, simply select the data that you would like to copy across and then hit 'Add'. Only Condition Codes and Comments are selectable.

You will be able to distinguish which inspection is a cloned inspection by the new icon we've added that sits to the left of the inspection type, within the Last Inspection Data column.

From here on all that's needed is to login to the App, load your inspection and apply the inspection data that you are copying across. The process within the app is identical to that of Last Inspection Data.
