⚙️ Every inspection in Vyer has a type, such as a fire safety round, a ventilation inspection or a filter change. Decide which types your organization runs, which are required by law, and what checking each kind of asset involves, so every round is set up the same way.
You need the Admin or Owner role, on a computer.
Open the list
In the account menu, click Settings, then Inspection types under Organization. Manage inspection types in the inspection type picker, and Edit types above the list in the Inspections topic, open the same page. A new organization starts with a set: Fire safety inspection, Ventilation inspection, Elevator & lift, Electrical audit, Radon, Sprinkler and Shelter marked as statutory, and Filter change, Roof, Technical spaces, Outdoor inspection, Common areas, Playground and PCB as ordinary types.
Add or rename a type
Click Add inspection type. Type a Name and press Enter. The dialog stays open for the next, and each new type gets the next color in turn. Click Add or Close when you are done.
Click a type's name to open its page. Under Settings, change the Name and the Colour, and switch on Statutory inspection for a type required by law. See Set up a statutory inspection.
In the table, click a Statutory cell to change it in place, or tick several types and click Mark statutory or Unmark statutory.
Say what each asset type needs
On the type's page, under Connected asset types, click Connect asset types, pick the kinds of asset this inspection checks, such as air handling units for a ventilation inspection or extinguishers for a fire safety round, and click Add asset types. In the table, the Connected asset types cell opens the same choice as a list.
Click a connected asset type to write the instructions and the subtasks a technician fills in. They become the default for every inspection task of that asset type under this inspection type, so Import tasks in a new inspection creates ready-made tasks. See Add the tasks.
The same defaults can be set from inside an inspection: when you write instructions on a task, tick Save instructions and subtasks for the asset type.
Retire a type
Click Delete inspection type on the type's page, or tick several types in the table and click Delete. The type is archived: it leaves the pickers, and inspections already scheduled with it keep it. Scheduled inspections on the type's page shows where it is in use before you delete it.
If it doesn't work
There is no Inspection types page
Only Admins and Owners manage inspection types, and only on a computer.
A type I deleted still shows on old inspections
Archiving hides a type from new inspections only. The old rounds keep their type and their history.
