Application Support Site – Step 1 Document Repository on DEM Intranet holds Inspections and supporting documentation for each facility.

Department builds “target list” from repository of available facilities.

Building Target List (Continued)

Inspectors choose which inspections to view in detail. Inspectors create local list by selection from central list Tablet

Each facility record includes current, as well as past inspection records, supporting documentation and reference materials as selected by the department. Multiple inspection forms and types can be supported with the same system.

Inspection Forms are pre-populated with data from the supporting department information systems.

Tablet Drawing Capabilities

When complete the inspector makes a recommendation, adds comments and checks the inspection into the central repository.

Supervisors come back to the intranet and review inspector’s recommendations, then make final approvals.
