The inspection request process begins with an inspection
request and ends with the completion of one or more Facility Assessment
work tasks. The Facility Assessment work tasks capture updated condition
information about one or more building system items and record any
new deficiencies that are identified during the assessment inspection.
The following image shows the inspection request process.Figure 1. Inspection

Inspection request process components
Create request from
You can create an inspection request directly from a building
or structure by selecting the building system items that need to be
inspected. Use this option when you want the inspection request to
include building system items specific to a single building or structure.
You can also create an inspection request from the Manage
Requests form, or from the Facility Assessment window.
Building system items
The building system items are used to create the inspection items
on the task.
Inspection request
The inspection request is a request object in the system that
is used specifically for initiating a request for the inspection of
the selected building system items.
Service assignment process
The service assignment process is used throughout
Maximo® Real Estate and
Facilities for
determining whether to create and how to assign projects or tasks, or both.
Project or task
Projects or tasks are created to satisfy the inspection request.
They are created and assigned based on the business rules that are
established in the service assignment process, or service plan.
Building system inspection items
A building system inspection item is created for each building
system item that is listed on the inspection request and is appended
to the task. When the task is completed, the data in the building
system inspection item is updated to the corresponding building system
items.
Opportunities
Opportunities can be identified from the tasks and are automatically
associated back to the building or structure, building system item,
assets, and locations that they reference.
