Archived Inspections

Archived Inspections is your record of completed work still on the device. After you mark an inspection complete, it moves out of Assigned Inspections and into this archive. From here you can re-open a completed inspection to review what you captured, or delete it from the device to free up storage.

What “archived” means here: the inspection is complete on your end. Whether the report has been published on the web admin is a separate question — publishing happens in the Generate Your First Report workflow on the web. An inspection is “archived” on mobile as soon as you marked it complete; the office may still be drafting the final report.

How an inspection lands here

An inspection arrives in Archived as soon as its status is one of the terminal values: All five normalize to a single “completed” view on this screen. The dual-tracking exists because the web admin and the mobile app evolved separately and each used a different status name — the app accepts all five.

---

​

Opening the screen

There are two ways to reach Archived Inspections:

1. Home → View Completed Inspections (the third button on the Home screen)
2. Header back from a deep-link or notification (if the web admin sends you a link to a specific completed inspection)

[SCREENSHOT: archived-list.png — mobile, the Archived Inspections list with 3–4 completed inspection rows, each showing client name + address, date, and a green “Completed” status badge with a red Delete button on the right.]

What each row shows

Each archived inspection appears as a row with: If the list is empty, the screen shows: “No archived inspections found.”

​

Tapping a row

Tap an archived inspection’s row (anywhere except the Delete button) to open it for review. You are taken to the Starting an Inspection screen with isResuming: true — meaning all the original fields are pre-filled and the inspection is treated as resumable. From that screen, the Start Inspection button at the bottom advances you to the Capture Screen, where you can review and edit findings exactly as you did during the original inspection. Editing a published inspection re-marks it as in-progress; complete it again when you are done.

Important: opening an archived inspection does not automatically re-publish the report. If you make edits and your office has already published the report on the web, you’ll need to coordinate so they re-publish after your changes sync.

​

Deleting an archived inspection

The Delete button on each row removes the inspection from this device. Before deletion, a confirmation alert appears:

Delete Inspection Are you sure you want to delete this inspection? This cannot be undone. [Cancel] [Delete]

Tap Delete to confirm. The inspection is:

• Removed from local storage on this device
• Removed from your local Redux store (the in-memory state)
• Not deleted from the cloud — the office’s record remains intact in the web admin and Firestore

The cloud is the source of truth. Deleting locally only frees up device storage. If you sign in to the same account on a different device, the inspection will reappear in Archived on that device (downloaded from Firestore).

When to delete: when device storage is tight, or when you’ve fully transitioned an inspection to web for post-processing and no longer need the local copy. Otherwise, leaving them archived is harmless — they are small (kilobytes per inspection, plus already-uploaded photos which live in the cloud, not on-device).

---

​

Live sync from the cloud

Archived Inspections runs a real-time Firestore listener while the screen is open. If the web admin marks an inspection finalized / submitted / synced while you’re viewing this screen, it appears in seconds without you having to refresh. The listener uses your inspector identity to scope the query — you will only see your own inspections, never another inspector’s. This matches the behavior in Assigned Inspections.

​

Storage and lifecycle on the device

By default, Archived Inspections are kept on-device indefinitely. The app does not auto-prune the archive. The trade-offs:

• Keeping the archive: instant offline access to past work. Good for inspectors who reference old reports often (e.g. “I think I saw the same brand water heater last week — let me look”).
• Pruning the archive: less device storage used. Good for inspectors with older / lower-storage phones.

Photos and videos attached to archived inspections live in the cloud after upload — they are not duplicated to local archive storage. So pruning archived inspections mostly frees up the inspection metadata (a few KB each), not the photo storage. To bulk-delete: there is currently no bulk-select action — you must tap Delete on each row. This is intentional for safety; bulk-delete is a planned future enhancement.

---

​

What you cannot do on this screen

The archive is read-mostly. You cannot from this screen:

• Re-publish a report — that lives on the web admin Report Workspace
• Send the report to a different email — also web admin
• Bulk-export inspections — also web admin (Tools → Export)
• Edit assigned inspector — that’s an order-level change made on the web

If you need any of those, switch to the web admin.
