Record an Inspection – Mobile App

Inspections can be entered via the Mobile Application or from the Web Application (web browser). For help with entering inspections from the Web Application, please see ‘Record an Inspection – Web App‘. Ideally inspections done on the Mobile App are performed on equipment that has already been setup in the system. You can setup equipment on the Mobile App, but it is not our recommended method, we recommend setting up equipment in the Web Application first. To setup equipment from the Web App see ‘Setting Up, Searching for and Editing Equipment‘. There may be occasions when you need to setup equipment on the Mobile App, and that is covered at the end of this guide.

Inspecting Previously Setup Equipment

Once you have logged into the Mobile App, there are 3 phases to performing an inspection, loading the equipment into the App, entering the inspection and syncing the inspection with the system. If you have not already done so, install the Mobile App on your device. For assistance with installing the Mobile App see ‘Download and Install UC Inspection App to a Mobile Device‘.

Opening and logging in on the Mobile App

1. Locate the App on your device and tap the icon to open it.
   
2. On the Login screen that is displayed, enter your ‘Username’ and ‘Password’.
3. To ensure you can use the App for entering inspections or creating new equipment when you are not connected to the Internet, make sure to tick the ‘Remember Me’ box.
   
4. Click ‘LOGIN’ and you will be taken to the ‘Undercarriage Inspection’ home screen.

Before going to the site where there may be no Internet access, the equipment needs to be loaded into the App. This can be done at anytime before the inspection, as long as you have Internet access.

2. Start typing the customer name and select it when it appears.
   
3. Select the Jobsite and then the model to narrow down the equipment list.
4. Select the Equipment you want and then click ‘Add Equipment’
   *NOTE* You may need to close your keyboard using the ‘back’ button on your device to view the entire list.
   
5. Repeat the steps to add all the equipment you need for your next inspections.
