Create a Company Level Inspection Template

Creating inspection templates at the Company level allows you to easily use the same or similar templates across your projects without having to remake them each time. You can always make a new inspection template at your Project level, or you can modify an existing Company level template for your project's unique needs.

• Required User Permissions:

  • 'Admin' level permissions on the Company level Inspections tool.

• Additional Information:

  • Although you can create new inspection templates at the Project level, you cannot add any inspection templates made at the Project level to another project in your company. For this reason, the best practice to manage your Inspections in Procore is to create inspection templates at the Company level to use at the Project level and modify those templates for each of your project's needs.

  • Field availability is based on how the inspection fieldset is configured. See Create New Configurable Fieldsets or Edit Configurable Fieldsets.

  • There is a limit of 1,000 items per section on an Inspection template.

1. Navigate to the Company level Inspections tool.

2. Click + Create.

   • Name: Title your inspection.

   • Description : Include any relevant details about the inspection.

   • Attachments: Attach any relevant files to the templates by clicking Attach Files or by using a drag-and-drop operation.
     Note: If you try to create an inspection template without a name or with a name that already exists, there will be an error message that details the reason. You can create an inspection with the same name as one in the Recycle Bin, but once you name it, you cannot restore a template in the Recycle Bin without first editing an inspection template to change the name.)
