This guide walks through a complete inspection from opening the app to saving the last finding. *** ## Opening an Inspection 1. Log in to the 1nspecT mobile app with your inspector credentials. 2. On the **Home** screen, tap the inspection you want to open from the **Active Inspections** list. 3. Tap **Start Inspection** to enter the inspection. *** ## The Inspection Capture Screen The Capture Screen is where you record every finding. It is organized top-to-bottom: ``` [ Photo / Video preview area ] [ 📷 🎥 📁 — capture controls ] [ Pending Co-Inspector pills (if any) ] [ Section navigation bar ] [ Subsection navigation bar ] [ Caption field ] [ AI tools row: ✨ AI Generate | 🪄 Library Search | 🔬 Vision Analysis ] [ Narrative field ] [ Field Note (optional) ] [ Rating buttons: I NI NP D ] [ Save | Save + New ] ``` *** ## Capturing Media ### Take a Photo Tap the **📷** button to open the device camera. After capturing, the photo appears in the preview area at the top of the screen. ### Take a Video Tap the **🎥** button to record a short video clip. A thumbnail is shown in the preview area with a play indicator. ### Import from Library Tap the **📁** button to select a photo or video from your device's photo library. Useful for importing photos taken with a separate camera. ### Edit / Markup After capturing a photo, tap **Edit** to annotate it with shapes, arrows, and text using the Markup tool. Markup is embedded in the photo and stored with the finding. ### Shrink / Expand Use the **Shrink** and **Expand** buttons to resize the photo preview area while you work. Shrink gives more screen space to the form fields; Expand gives a larger photo reference. *** ## Selecting Section & Subsection Tap a section in the **section navigation bar** (e.g. "Electrical") then tap the specific subsection (e.g. "Main Panel") in the subsection bar. Your selection persists until you change it. > Always select the correct section and subsection before saving a finding — this determines where the deficiency appears in the report. *** ## Writing the Caption The **Caption** field is a short (6–15 word) description of the finding, written in inspector shorthand. Example: > `Damaged shingles at rear slope — granule loss visible` The caption becomes the title of the deficiency card in the PDF report. *** ## AI Narrative Tools Three AI tools are available to help write the finding narrative: ### ✨ AI Generate (Text-Only) Generates a full CAR-format narrative (Condition + Action + Recommendation) from the caption alone using your section context. Does not require a photo. Costs 2 IT tokens. ### 🪄 Library Search (Semantic) Searches your narrative library for the closest matching narratives using AI semantic ranking. Returns up to 3 suggestions. Costs 1 IT token. Suggestions appear as chips below the caption field. **FREE (Library)** chips are local keyword matches from your library — no AI cost. ### 🔬 Vision Analysis (Multimodal) Analyzes the captured photo using AI to generate a narrative grounded in what is visually present. Requires a photo. Costs 8 IT tokens. Toggle the **🔬** switch to enable Vision mode before tapping **✨ AI Generate**. *** ## Co-Inspector (AI Secondary Findings) When Vision Analysis runs, the AI may spot additional deficiencies visible in the same photo. If it does: 1. A **review modal** slides up automatically showing up to 3 proposed findings. 2. For each proposed finding: * Tap **+ Queue** to accept it and add it to your pending queue. * Tap **✕ Skip** to dismiss it. 3. Accepted findings appear as green **📋 caption** pills between the capture controls and the section nav. 4. Finish your current finding → tap **Save + New** → the form clears. 5. Tap a pill to pre-populate the caption and narrative for that queued finding. 6. Take a new photo of that finding, adjust the section/subsection, and save. 7. Repeat until all pills are cleared. > Co-Inspector findings are suggestions only — always verify visually before saving. The AI targets only high-confidence safety hazards, structural deficiencies, and active moisture/rot. *** ## Narrative Library Chips If your narrative library contains matching entries, **FREE (Library)** chips appear below the caption field automatically as you type. Tap a chip to insert it into the narrative field. No AI tokens consumed. *** ## Rating the Finding Tap one of the four rating buttons: | Rating | Meaning | | ------ | ------------------------------------------------ | | **I** | Inspected — no deficiency noted | | **NI** | Not Inspected — explain why in the narrative | | **NP** | Not Present — component not found at property | | **D** | Deficient — deficiency noted; narrative required | > **NI reminder:** If you tap NI, a reminder toast appears prompting you to include the reason and recommendations in the narrative. *** ## Saving a Finding * **Save** — saves the current finding and stays on the same form (fields preserved) for any follow-up notes. * **Save + New** — saves the current finding and clears all fields to begin the next capture. A finding requires at minimum: a selected subsection and a caption. Photo, narrative, and rating are strongly recommended. *** ## Saving to Narrative Library After writing a narrative you want to reuse in future inspections: * Tap **Save to Narrative Library** below the narrative field. * The narrative is de-identified and saved to your library. Costs 1 IT. * It will appear as a **FREE (Library)** chip in future inspections when the caption matches. *** ## Reviewing Your Findings From the inspection home screen, tap **Review** to see all captured findings organized by section and subsection. You can: * Edit any finding * Delete a finding * Flag a finding for the Summary section of the report * Reorder findings within a subsection *** ## Finishing the Inspection When all findings are captured: 1. Tap **Finish Inspection** from the inspection home screen. 2. Review the completion checklist (all required sections rated, narrative coverage). 3. Tap **Complete** to mark the inspection as finished. The inspection status changes to `complete` and the report becomes available for review in the **Report Workspace** on the web admin. *** ## Next Step Once the inspection is complete, open the web admin and [Generate Your First Report](/1nspect/getting-started/generate-your-first-report).
