# Home & Assigned Inspections

# Home & Assigned Inspections

The Home tab is your launch pad. From here, you reach your work queue (**Assigned Inspections**), past finished work still on the device (**View Completed Inspections**), or the quick-quote tool (**Field Quote**).

This article covers the Home screen and the Assigned Inspections list. For the inspection-setup form that opens after you tap an assigned inspection, see [Starting an Inspection](/1nspect/inspector/starting-an-inspection).

***

## The Home screen

\[SCREENSHOT: home-screen.png — mobile, the Home tab showing the 1nspecT logo, "Streamlined Site Assessments" tagline, and three buttons stacked vertically: a blue Assigned Inspections primary button, then white-with-blue-border Completed Inspections and Field Quote buttons.]

The Home screen has three buttons:

| Button                             | What it does                                                                                                                      |
| ---------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Assigned Inspections** (primary) | Opens your work queue — all inspections your office has routed to you that you have not yet completed                             |
| **View Completed Inspections**     | Opens the [Archived Inspections](/1nspect/inspector/archived-inspections) list — work you've finished that's still on this device |
| **Field Quote**                    | Jumps directly to the [Field Quote](/1nspect/inspector/field-quote) tab — generate a price for a property on the spot             |

Below the buttons, the footer shows the copyright line. The MavTech LLC name confirms you are using the official 1nspecT app.

### What happens if you have an inspection in progress

If you tap **Assigned Inspections** while you already have an in-progress inspection on the device, the app will not interrupt your work. Tapping a different assigned inspection in the list prompts you with a choice:

* **Continue Current** — return to the open inspection
* **Start New Anyway** — save the current inspection's progress and switch
* **Cancel** — back to the list

This safety prompt prevents accidental loss of progress on a long inspection. See [Settings & Tokens](/1nspect/inspector/settings-and-tokens) for the **Resume Active Inspection** shortcut, which appears at the top of the Config tab whenever you have unfinished work.

## The Assigned Inspections list

The Assigned Inspections screen is your queue. It pulls live from Firestore — when your office assigns or reassigns an inspection in the web admin, the change appears here within seconds without you having to refresh.

\[SCREENSHOT: assigned-inspections-list.png — mobile, the Assigned Inspections list with 3–4 inspection cards visible, showing ID, status badge, property address, client name, scheduled date, template name, and action buttons.]

### What appears in this list

An inspection shows up on Assigned Inspections only when **all** of these are true:

1. **It is assigned to your inspector account** — your administrator added your name as `assignedInspectorName` on the order.
2. **Its status is `assigned`, `in_progress`, or `inProgress`** — completed, cancelled, paid, delivered, and report-published inspections are filtered out and moved to [Archived Inspections](/1nspect/inspector/archived-inspections).
3. **It has contract activity** — either the inspection is externally contracted (`skipWorkflow` flag set in the order), or the contract bundle has been sent to the client (any `contractStatus` except `pending_review`).
4. **It is within 30 days of its scheduled date** — inspections scheduled more than 30 days out are hidden until they're closer. Past-due (overdue) inspections remain visible until you complete them.

If an expected inspection does not appear, check those four conditions with your administrator in the web admin.

### What each card shows

Every card in the list shows:

| Element          | What it represents                                                                                                 |
| ---------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **#1234**        | The inspection's internal ID                                                                                       |
| Status badge     | `ASSIGNED` (blue) · `IN PROGRESS` (orange) · `COMPLETED` (green — though filtered to Archived) · `CANCELLED` (red) |
| Property address | Where the inspection takes place                                                                                   |
| **Client:**      | Primary client name                                                                                                |
| **Scheduled:**   | Date and time (formatted to your device locale)                                                                    |
| **Template:**    | The inspection template assigned to this order (e.g. "TREC Texas Residential")                                     |
| **Notes:**       | Any free-text notes the office added (only shown if present)                                                       |

The card itself appears full-opacity when ready to work; **dimmed (50%)** when gating prevents you from starting. See gating below.

***

## Action buttons on each card

Action buttons differ by status.

### When status is `ASSIGNED`

A single **Start Inspection** button appears. Depending on gating, it may show:

| Button label                       | Meaning                                                                          | What to do                                                            |
| ---------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Start Inspection**               | Ready to begin — template and narrative collection assigned, contract handled    | Tap to begin                                                          |
| **Setup Required** (disabled)      | Template and/or narrative collection not yet assigned by your administrator      | Contact your administrator — this is a one-click fix in the web admin |
| **Contract Not Signed** (disabled) | The inspection agreement has been sent to the client but they haven't signed yet | Wait for client to sign, or have your administrator follow up         |

If you tap a disabled button, an alert explains the same thing — for example: *"This inspection requires template and narrative collection assignment in the admin panel before it can be started."*

### When status is `IN PROGRESS`

A **Resume Inspection** button appears. Tap it to reopen the inspection where you left off.

### Team QR — for team inspections

If the inspection is flagged as **team-allowed** (admin setting), a **Team QR** button appears alongside the start/resume button. Tap it to show a QR code modal:

* The modal shows the property address and a 200×200 QR code
* Other inspectors on your team can scan the code with their 1nspecT mobile app to join this same inspection
* All findings captured by team members sync to the same inspection record
* The QR contains JSON: `{ "type": "inspection", "inspectionId": "<id>", "timestamp": <unix-ms> }`

See [Capture Screen](/1nspect/inspector/capture-screen) for how team capture works on the inspection itself.

***

## Refreshing the list

The list refreshes automatically — there is a real-time Firestore listener active whenever the screen is open. You will see new assignments and status changes appear in seconds.

If something looks stale (rare), **pull down** anywhere on the list to manually refresh. The header briefly shows a spinner; the list re-reads from Firestore. The Refresh button on the empty-state view does the same thing.

***

## Empty state

If you have no assigned inspections, the list shows:

> **No Assigned Inspections**
> Your assigned inspections will appear here when they're scheduled
> \[ Refresh ]

This is normal for a new inspector account, between jobs, or when all your active inspections have been completed and moved to Archived.

***

## What happens when you tap Start Inspection

1. The app fetches the inspection from Firestore (or merges with the local copy if you've worked on it before).
2. You are taken to the **[Starting an Inspection](/1nspect/inspector/starting-an-inspection)** screen — the setup form where you confirm the property, capture the cover photo, set weather conditions, and review the AI baseline.
3. From that screen, tapping **Start Inspection** at the bottom opens the **[Capture Screen](/1nspect/inspector/capture-screen)** — where the field work actually happens.

So the full path is:

`Home` → `Assigned Inspections` → tap card → `Starting an Inspection (setup form)` → `Capture Screen`

## Error handling

| Error                                             | Cause                                                                 | Recovery                                                           |

| **Template Required**                             | The inspection has no template assigned                               | Contact your administrator to assign the template in the web admin |
| **Network error — please check your connection**  | Lost network while downloading inspection details after tapping Start | Confirm signal, tap **Retry** in the alert                         |
