Recurring inspection process job

The Recurring Inspection Process Job feature allows you to manually run the recurring inspection process job or schedule a process job. You can run the job for a specific rule group that may be associated with multiple recurring inspection types or a specific rule step for a single recurring inspection type. Rule groups are configured through the Recurring Inspection Lookup Values page while rule steps are configured when creating a recurring inspection type.

Scheduling the recurring inspection process job

To increase efficiency, you can schedule recurring inspection process jobs for future dates. For example, if a specific recurring inspection type needs to be performed by June 1 every year, you can schedule the process job to run 30 days prior to June 1. This will create the recurring inspection intervals and, if configured, create inspection notices or invoices which the jurisdiction can send to the inspection contact.
