Inspection Workflow

Overview

This inspection workflow outlines how field personnel use a mobile application to document and submit various types of forestry inspections, such as harvest, reforestation, or storm damage assessments. It guides users through signing in, selecting inspection types and properties, linking inspections to timber sales, and completing detailed forms with images, comments, and condition reports. The process ensures consistent, accurate data collection, even in offline conditions.

Workflows

Completing an Inspection

Begin by logging in with your Username & Password.

Step 1: Once signed in, tap the Create New button next to “My Requests” and choose

Inspection Type.

  • Inspection Types may include:
    • Planting Inspection (Reforestation)
    • Harvest Inspection (Timber Sales)
    • Hurricane Inspection (Timber Salvage)
    • Silvicultural Activity – HWC, Controlled burn, Invasive species, etc…

Step 2: After choosing the Inspection Type, you will select the property you are performing the inspection in.

Step 3: Upon selecting the property, you will also be able to associate this inspection with a Timber Sale that exists in Office.

Step 4: Once this is associated with an Office Timber Sale, you will have the option to

select which Stands from the Timber Sale you would like to perform the inspection on.

  • If you do not wish to associate this inspection with either of these, you may tap the “Skip” button at the top of the form.

Step 5: Finally, you will be taken to the Inspection form where you may attach images, mark for attention, record percent completed, assign the land ID, and enter comments.

Step 6: Enter inspection-specific info in the space provided further down the form.

For example, the steps of a Harvest Inspection:

  1. Choose the Inspection Type (Harvest Inspection)

  3. Add images, comments, and complete the Inspection
