Ability to add multiple inspection forms to a single work order

Inspection forms is one of the best features of Maximo Mobile and a lot of customers are adopting this product.

Major draw back that we have encountered with inspection forms is that Users can associate only 1 inspection form to a work order.

We are working with 2 customer on Maximo Mobile implementation and this has become a product limitation. Customers have atleast 2 inspection forms for each work order i.e. one for safety and other for actual inspections. Adding inspection forms is an alternate option but it does not satisfy customer's business preference and requires a number of changes in customer's processes.

Thus, requesting to introduce the feature to add multiple inspection forms for a single work order.

    I just wanted to comment that I agree with this idea. Like the originator of the idea, we use inspections for reporting and need to be able to perform sometimes multiple post repair inspections that are associated with the same work order. We currently use the "Plans" tab for this by creating a task which allows for another inspection to be created, and while this is associated to the parent work order, it is not ideal due to the obvious fact that it is not literally on the same work order, which creates the need for added scripting to be able to pull the individual inspections from the tasks together with the inspection from the parent into a single combined report.

    Currently the designs behind inspections allow you to have multiple inspections per work order. The current limitation is around visualization in work order tracking and mobile, where some customers already implemented a table view to show 1xN inspections to a WO. It can be configured for sure, but really from a roadmap perspective, it makes sense and will be promoted for future consideration to get more votes before really gets prioritized to a release. Thanks for the feedback.
