Inspection Statuses
Inspections in Zeltask have a simple status system that reflects their progress from start to completion.
Available Statuses
| Status | Description |
|---|---|
| In Progress | Inspection has been started but not yet completed |
| Completed | Inspection has been finished and finalized |

Status Transitions
Status changes happen automatically based on user actions:
Created → In Progress → Completed
| Event | Status Change |
|---|---|
| Inspection is created or started | Automatically set to In Progress |
| User finalizes the inspection | Changes to Completed |

Can Statuses Be Changed Manually?
No. Managers and supervisors cannot manually change an inspection's status. The status is controlled entirely by the system based on user actions.
Can Completed Inspections Be Reopened?
No. Once an inspection is completed, it cannot be reopened or reverted to "In Progress". This ensures data integrity and audit compliance.
If corrections are needed after completion:
- Add comments to the completed inspection to note any issues
- Create a new inspection if a re-check is required
About "Overdue" Inspections
Overdue is not a status—it is a visual indicator that appears on scheduled inspections when the due date has passed.
| Aspect | Details |
|---|---|
| Appears on | Scheduled inspections with a due date |
| What it indicates | The inspection was not completed by its due date |
| Effect on status | None—status remains "In Progress" |
| Can still complete? | Yes |

What Happens When Due Date Passes
When a scheduled inspection passes its due date without completion:
- The inspection is marked with an "Overdue" visual indicator
- The status remains In Progress
- Users can still access and complete the inspection
- Supervisors receive visibility into overdue items
Filtering by Status
Use status filters to find specific inspections:
- Go to the Inspections module
- Click the status filter dropdown
- Select In Progress or Completed

Tips
- Review the In Progress filter regularly to avoid forgetting incomplete inspections
- Pay attention to Overdue indicators on scheduled inspections
- If an inspection is completed, use comments to add any follow-up notes rather than attempting to reopen
