Search for a Custom Inspection

Once an inspection is saved, it can be opened through a search. This allows you to view progress and update or change information as needed. See Perform a Wildcard Search, Search Within a Date Range, Search Within a Numeric Range, Perform a Like Search, and Perform a Quick Search for more information on the various types of search fields.
