Cleaning Inspections ​

A cleaning inspection is the checklist you run through when preparing a store before it's loaded: has it been swept and washed, has the roof been cleaned, and so on. Inspections are recorded separately from store visits, because they happen once per crop cycle rather than throughout storage.

Step 1 — Open the Cleaning Inspections list ​

In the sidebar, under Record Keeping, click Storage. The section panel opens beside the sidebar; click Cleaning Inspections.

Along the top of the list are a Search cleaning inspections box, Sort (by ID or Team), Filter (by Store), Export and Create. Export downloads the rows on the current page as a CSV file.

The columns show the ID, Team, Added by, Potato Store, Season and Inspection Date, then one column for each of the seven checklist items. Each item shows a green tick for yes, a red cross for no, or a grey dashed circle if it was left as not applicable.

Step 2 — Click Create ​

At the top right of the page, click the green + Create button.

Step 3 — Fill in the inspection ​

A Create A Cleaning Inspection dialog opens.

WARNING

Once you've clicked an item, you can't set it back to N/A. If you clicked one by mistake on an item that doesn't apply, click Cancel and start the inspection again.

Step 4 — Click Save ​

The inspection is added to the list. The Inspection card on the store's Details tab shows the result of the store's latest inspection this season, for example 6 / 7: the items marked YES out of the items that weren't left as N/A.

Editing or deleting an inspection ​
