An inspector is on site and the app won’t let them send the report. They call their coordinator and read out the message.
The coordinator didn’t write that rule and doesn’t know exactly what it checks. They need to understand it in a minute, not open the settings.
What you write
«The inspector gets the message “The start time must match the capture time of the first photo” on the periodic inspection form. Why, and what do they need to fix?»
And then
- «Which rules are active on the periodic inspection form?»
- «Explain in words what this rule checks and give me a case that passes and one that blocks.»
How the assistant answers
The inspector gets the message “The start time must match the capture time of the first photo.” Why?
It’s the “Times match the photos” rule, active on that form. When the report is closed it compares the Start time with the first photo’s time, and the End time with the last one’s.
Most likely, the inspector entered the start time from memory. Have them change it to their first photo’s time and send it again.
Illustrative example
Why it matters
-
The rule, in words
The assistant shows what the rule checks, using the field names as they appear on the form.
-
What to do now
It doesn’t stop at the explanation: it says what to fix so the report goes through.
-
The whole form in view
It also lists each form’s rules and which are active, in case one is redundant or duplicated.
The engine flags and the person decides. Rules only run when they’re active and linked to the form. How they’re configured
A rule nobody understands ends up switched off. Being able to ask why it blocks keeps it useful.
