Summary

Inspector Groups are used in the Building Permits module to group the inspectors that can be assigned to inspection types. For example, electrical inspectors could be grouped together into a single inspector group called Electrical. That inspector group can then be specified as the default group on an electrical inspection type. When that type is ready to be scheduled, the scheduling clerk can quickly choose from any of the inspectors included in the default inspector group.

Inspector groups are not required, and any user set up on the Schedule User Setup window can be assigned to an inspection type.

• The Inspector Group Selection window will display all of the existing Inspector Groups in the application.
• Click the Delete icon to remove a highlighted inspector group.
  • You cannot delete an inspector group that is associated with an inspection type.
• Highlight an inspector group and click the Modify icon   to edit the selected group.
• Click the Create icon to create a new inspector group. This will open the Inspector Group Maintenance window.

2     Create a new Inspector Group.

• Enter an Inspector Group name. This is the name that will be used to recognize the group when selecting it.
  • This field can be up to 32 characters long.
  • Once you save the new inspector group, you will not be able to modify this field.
• Enter a group Description.
  • The description field can be up to 128 characters long.
• The Group Members section is used to add Springbrook users to the inspector group. You must have at least one user attached to a group.
  • Only Springbrook users attached to an inspector group will be available in the Users field when that group is used to schedule an inspection type.
  • Click the Create icon to add a new user to the inspector group. This will open a list of users to select from. The user information will display in the window.
  • To delete a user from the group, highlight the user and click the Delete icon  .
    • Removing a user from an inspector group will not affect any applications or permits that the user or group was associated with. If the removed user was previously scheduled to complete an inspection type, that user will still be scheduled.
• Click the Save icon when complete.
