# Start scheduled inspections

   Learn how to start scheduled inspections via the web app and the mobile app.

###### What you'll need

- Any eAuditor Plan
- Web app or mobile app
- "Conduct" template access level at a minimum
- Any seat type

- If you're using the mobile app, make sure that your device is connected to the internet. If your device is offline, you can still start and edit inspections, but they will not be connected to the schedule.

- You can also start an inspection on the web app through the "Schedule" tab, under "My Schedules".

###### Start a scheduled inspection

     Web app  Mobile app   Web app

1. Log in to the web app.

2. Select Home from the menu on the left-hand side.

3. In the “Agenda” section, click Inspections and find the scheduled inspection you need to complete.

4. Click Start inspection. If you’re unable to complete the scheduled inspection, click Won’t do and leave a note explaining why you can’t complete the inspection.

5. Progress through the inspection accordingly.

  Mobile app

1. Open the mobile app.

2. Tap Home at the bottom of your screen.

3. Scroll down to the “Overdue” or “Today” section and find the scheduled inspection you need to complete.

4. Tap Start inspection. If you’re unable to complete the scheduled inspection, tap Won’t do and leave a note explaining why you can’t complete the inspection.

- If you need to step away from your inspection, you can close it and come back at any time. Your progress is saved automatically. However, make sure to complete it within the scheduled timeframe so it won't be marked as "Missed" or "Overdue".

###### Frequently asked questions

       Why is the Start inspection button greyed out?  If the Start inspection button is greyed out, this means that the schedule window for the inspection hasn’t started yet. You can only start an inspection from a schedule once the window begins.
