When to use it
When to use it, and when not to
This inspection is one step in a larger programme. Using it for work that belongs to a neighbouring template produces records that are hard to report on later.
Use it for
- The event or activity this inspection covers has occurred, or is about to
- A new record is needed; each one gets its own ID in the form INSP-2026-000
- You are running the Asset Inspection and Statutory Examination programme and this is one of its steps
- A linked record needs this one to exist: links asset
Not for
- Asset Condition Inspection, which assesses the general condition of an asset against defined criteria.
- Vibration Analysis Record, which records vibration readings taken from rotating equipment.
- Thermographic Survey, which records infrared images of electrical panels, motors and bearings to find hot spots.
- Anything outside KnowMaintain, which belongs in the workspace that owns that process

The agents
What the agents do with it
The form is the easy part. Keeping it current, routing it to the right owner and holding the evidence together is the work that actually slips.
Holds the compressed air system check library against your registers, routes each record to its owner, and keeps the evidence trail together.
Coordinates the crew, rolls completion and exceptions into one view, and holds every write for your approval before it touches a record.
This template lives in KnowMaintain — asset maintenance. Work orders, planned maintenance, calibration, reliability and shutdowns.
