Create an action while inspecting

Recording a deviation is not enough — someone has to fix it. That is the Action gesture, under every question during capture — or Create a corrective action, in the panel of a flagged answer.

An action born from a question leaves pre-filled with its context:

  • the question’s label and the answer given;
  • the photos attached to the question;
  • the inspection’s site.

All that is left is to say What needs to be done? and, if needed, who it is assigned to, by when and with which priority — the form is the same as for a standalone action.

The action stays tied to its question: capture counts the actions born from each question (“1 action created”), the summary attaches them to their findings, and the report prints them alongside. Meanwhile it lives its life in the Actions screen — assignment, due date, feed, closing — like any other.

When a rule carries Require an action, the triggering answer shows the Action required requirement: until an action is born from that question, the inspection cannot be finished. That is the structural guarantee that no non-compliance goes unanswered.
