SDL Desktop - Inspector Management - All Inspectors

This guide is for SDL Desktop admins who need to manage inspectors across modules (not just Construction). Follow these steps when you want to check for an existing inspector before creating a duplicate, then add a new inspector or edit an existing one — assigning the departments (and Building subcodes) they're authorized to inspect for.

1. The first step is to open SDL Desktop and select Tools

2. Click Options

3. Click Workflow II


4. Click Manage Inspectors



5. Look through existing inspectors so that no duplicate inspectors are created. 





6. If you find the inspector in the list, you can select the inspector and hit Edit. If you do not find the inspector you are looking for, you can select Add to create a new inspector.





7. Check off the departments the selected inspector can inspect for. *Note Building also has a Subcode choice.  Fill in additional information as needed.




8. Click OK and you're done.



Common Questions?

1.Why is my inspector not showing up in the dropdown for an inspection? This usually happens for one of two reasons. First, check whether the inspector is marked active — an inactive inspector won't appear as an option. Second, check the subcode assigned to that inspector under Manage Inspectors: an inspector will only show up in the dropdown for the department/subcode they're assigned to, so if the subcode on their profile doesn't match the type of inspection being scheduled, they won't appear as a selectable option for it.
