Web Admin Overview
The 1nspecT web admin is where the inspection business runs — every screen the company-owner or operator uses to schedule, draft, publish, bill, and follow up on inspections. It is the production console, distinct from the mobile app (which is the on-site field-capture tool). This article tours the layout, explains the sidebar, and points you to the right deep-dive for each surface. If you are new to 1nspecT, run through the Getting Started walkthroughs first — they go end-to-end from account setup to first published report. This page is the reference map for return visits.Who uses this
Inspection-business owners and operators. Your administrator account was created either at sign-up (if you bought the platform yourself) or by your company owner. Roles include:
This guide focuses on the Owner and Operator views. Inspector-on-mobile documentation lives in the Inspector section.
Signing in
Web admin lives athttps://app.1nspect.app (or your white-label custom domain if your account uses one). Sign in with the same email and password you use on the mobile app.
After sign-in:
- First load lands you on the Dashboard at the route
/. - Subsequent loads remember your last page within the session.
- Inactivity timeout returns you to the login screen after a long idle period.
The sidebar — 9 primary surfaces
[SCREENSHOT: web-admin-sidebar.png — desktop, the left-side navigation showing 9 items with icons: Dashboard, Inspections, Templates, Narrative Management, Contacts, Cover Designer, Reports, Business Ops, Settings.] The sidebar is the master navigation. Each item is a top-level surface; deeper pages live as sub-routes under each.
Owner-only: If you are signed in as Owner, a Platform Admin badge appears next to your name in the top bar. It exposes a /super-admin/factory shortcut for tenant provisioning and other owner-level controls. Operators do not see this badge.
Mental model
The platform organizes your business around three nouns and one verb:- Order — the master engagement: one property + one client + one or more services. An order may contain multiple inspections (multi-phase) and multiple contracts.
- Inspection — one site visit. Single-phase orders have one inspection; new-construction orders have multiple (Phase 1, Phase 2, Final).
- Report — the deliverable. One PDF report per inspection, plus a Realtor Portal view, plus a Client Portal view.
- Publish — the verb that takes a completed inspection from internal review to client delivery.
A typical operator’s day
- Morning — open the Dashboard to see what’s due, what’s in pipeline, what needs attention.
- Action Items panel surfaces: stale quotes to follow up, unsigned contracts to nudge, unpaid invoices.
- New booking arrives — the inspector sent a Field Quote from mobile. Click the lead, convert it via the Order Creation Wizard.
- Field inspection happens — the inspector works on mobile. Findings stream into Firestore in near-real-time.
- Afternoon — inspector marks the inspection complete on mobile. The Inspection Reviewer workspace becomes available on web.
- Review the report — walk through findings, polish narratives, run AI Draft on field-noted items, generate SPOs, build the Summary.
- Publish — generate the PDF, email it to the client, fire the publish workflow that notifies the agent and prompts for payment.
- End of day — check Reports → Outstanding A/R to follow up on aging invoices.
- End of month — pull the Monthly Reconciliation report to match Stripe deposits to your bank.
Public-facing routes (not in the sidebar)
These routes exist for non-logged-in users (clients, agents, public bookers). You won’t navigate to them from the sidebar; they’re surfaced via links and emails.
You will rarely visit these directly; they show up as links in the emails the workflow engine sends.
