Completing an inspection

When every item is filled, mark complete — it locks the form, joins vehicle history, and becomes printable

ManagerReceptionTechnicianRequires Inspections plan

When every item on an inspection is filled in, the technician clicks Mark Complete. Until that happens, the submission has status in_progress. Marking it complete moves it to completed and triggers a few small things:

What happens at complete

  • Status changes to completed with a completedAt timestamp, and the completion is logged to the jobcard's activity feed
  • The submission keeps its assigned technician (set to whoever started it, changeable at any time from the assignee picker on the inspection card)
  • The submission becomes part of the vehicle's inspection history, visible from the Inspector Panel Vehicle tab on the next visit (and any visit within the 13-month window)
  • The submission is ready to hand over: Print and Export (PDF) buttons sit on the inspection card

Required fields

Inspection templates can mark fields as required, which flags them with an asterisk on the form. Marking complete doesn't currently block on empty required fields, so give the sheet a final scan before you complete it.

Re-opening a completed submission

Re-opening is possible (requires inspections.edit) but discouraged once the report has been shared with the customer. The audit trail of changes lives in the activity log.
