Linked Visis now allows users to create meaningful connections between different inspections and locations within a project. This addresses a critical challenge in quality where inspections often need to span multiple locations or reference other completed checks.
The functionality is now accessible via the new Visi details mode, that provides a clearer, more interactive view of each Visi.
How this helps you?
To understand Linking Visis, knowing how this can help you is key. Below are the main problems that this feature addresses and how this feature allows you to overcome it.
Improving efficiency in multi-location inspections
Improving efficiency in multi-location inspections
For many instances, one location isn't enough! For many trades, it is common that one template covers a range of locations/inspections and completing the same inspection again and again isn't viable.
Enhancing inspection relationships
Enhancing inspection relationships
A more common application is the relationship between ITPs (inspection test plans) and ITCs (inspection test checklists). Linking Visis now allows these connections to be more concise and apparent to understand how each Visi is related.
Previously, there was no easy way to link Inspection Test Plans (ITPs) to the required Inspection Test Checklists (ITCs), which was often created as a separate Visi. This forced users to create ITCs at the root/top level while ITPs were logged in their relevant locations, making it difficult to track relationships between them.
By using Linked Visis, the users can be sure that each ITP referenced the correct ITC, allowing the users to easily confirm sign-offs before starting inspections.
But enough with the boring stuff... let's link up! 🚀🔗
