Go to the Property Icon and search for the Building and all the Inspections that are not yet complete
At the bottom of the main Fire Asset Manager screen, touch the Property Icon

The inspections that are available to execute will show in the Inspections list.  Clicking the blue icon to the left fo the Inspection number , ,

 *By default no action is needed on an Inspection step to set it Pass

How to Fail an Inspection Item and note the problem:

UConn Inspections are created with all the Inspection steps set to PASS as a default to overcome the semi-cumbersome design of the interface.  To change the response to Fail, click the arrow to the right of the green dot on the Result line that shows PASS.
You will see a blue check on the Pass line.  Touch anywhere on the Fail line.
 The system displays an Alert box that asks “Do you wish to add remedial actions?”.  Click the Yes Option.
More than one option can be selected when the appropriate.  The example to the right gives choices that are independent of each other.  If necessary choose more than one option in this case.  
After selecting a Fail Result the application returns to the Inspection Line.  The Result is now a Fail and a red dot appears on that line.  The count of Remedial Actions is visible on that line.

If desired, images can be added by clicking the Photo Gallery Line.

 IMPORTANT: For the inspection result to be saved the Next option in the top bar must be clicked if any changes to the Line Group have been made!

To jump back to the main inspection list at any point click Cancel in the upper left hand corner.  Any changes on the current inspection item will not be captured so this should always be done on an Inspection element that starts with the proper status (most often PASS)

How to Submit an Inspection when it is completed

When an inspection is finished click Submit in the upper right corner.   The system displays an Alert box that asks “Would you like to submit this inspection?”.  Click the Yes Option.
