Construction - Inspections Settings - Managing Construction Inspectors, Licenses & Inspector Availability
This guide is for SDL Desktop admins in the Construction module who need to manage inspector setup and scheduling. Follow these steps when you want to add an inspector, assign their departments and subcodes, and block out their availability (recurring days/times or specific date ranges) — including blocking dates for multiple inspectors at once, like holidays. Note this does not block availability on the portal.
1. From the Construction Module, Click Tasks, then Manage Inspectors.
