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.
