Recording a control carried out early

A recurring inspection only creates its next occurrence when that occurrence comes due, so if you carry out a check well ahead of schedule there is nothing yet to complete and the "Complete" button is not shown. On a recurring inspection whose current round is finished, use "Record a performed control" instead: enter the date the check was actually carried out and the register gains a new dated entry, while the next due date is recalculated from that date. The previous control is never overwritten — a regulatory register records the dates of every check, so each one has to remain readable. You land on the new entry so you can fill in the checklist and attach the report. If the current round is still open, complete it with the real date instead; if the series was cancelled, reactivate it first.

Open an inspection and use Print checklist. You get a PDF of the whole check list: the reference, the equipment, the dates and the person responsible, then every check point in order. Any check point you have not answered yet prints as an empty box — tick boxes for pass/fail or yes/no answers, one box per choice for a list, a ruled line for free text or a reading — so the sheet can be completed by hand at the machine. Answers already recorded are printed as they stand, and a signature and date block sits at the bottom. The button is available on every plan and to anyone who can view the inspection: it is a read of your own data.
