System Overview

Inspection Manager FLX is a management tool designed to schedule, track and document

building inspections.

With Inspection Manager FLX, your inspector records inspection information by keying data

directly into a hand-held computer or Palm device. The Palm prompts your inspector for

information about the facility and the inspection process, eliminating manual data entry and

ensuring regulatory compliance.

The PC software maintains a list of regulatory codes, building, contact, violation and tenant

information. This information is available to the inspector on the Palm. Users may define a list of

tasks or questions that need answering for specific inspections.

At the conclusion of the data collection cycle, the data is transmitted from the Palm to

Inspection Manager FLX. The information is processed and stored in an archival format. In

addition to the reports generated from data transmissions, a variety of reports can be generated

directly from the tables maintained by the application.

Benefits

Among its many benefits, Inspection Manager FLX specifically enables you to do the

following:

Eliminate Log Sheets

Inspection Manager FLX electronically transfers data to your PC, stores it, and allows you to

retrieve it easily for reports and analysis; you will no longer need to manually transcribe log sheet

data into a database.

Increase Accuracy

Transcription errors are eliminated with Inspection Manager FLX because data is entered

electronically into a Palm while out in the field.

Track Violations

Your organization can track code violation and occupant compliance information. The program

shows all open violations, when they were entered, when they were last checked and when they

are due for a follow-up check.

Respond Quickly

If a regulatory violation is found, the Palm alerts the inspector of the specific code in question.

Inspection Manager FLX highlights abnormal conditions, helping occupants address problems

immediately.

Customize Field Names and User Defined Fields

Inspection Manager FLX allows you to customize the look of your application by providing

Custom Field Names and User Defined Fields (UDFs). Custom Field Names allow you to

use the terminology that is most appropriate for your specific inspection process. The UDF option

permits you to enter a caption for each UDF in the selected table.

Customize Reports

Inspection Manager FLX gives you the option to create custom reports, allowing you to

document just the information you need, and view it the way you want.

8

Glossary of Terms

As inspection processes vary, Inspection Manager FLX allows you the flexibility to customize

the terms and features that the program uses. The following terms are commonly used

throughout the program and this user guide, but many terms can be changed to suit your needs.

Abnormal

The abbreviation Abn is used for abnormal responses in the Question Table for multiple-choice or

numeric question types. Abnormal responses may display a special warning or message, or even

automatically log a violation.

Custom Reports

Custom Reports are designed by an end-user and utilize only selected criteria. You can choose

what data is shown and what format it is shown in. You can even add your organization’s logo to

the report. Reports can be saved to use the same format many times over.

HotSync

HotSync or Sync is how the PC and Palm transfer data. Palm HotSync technology helps you

connect and synchronize between your Palm data and related PC data.

i-button

The Information Button (i-button) allows you to quickly view information relating to a

topic. For example, the i-button next to a tenant contact gives you the phone number,

address and other information related to the contact.

Questions

Questions is a term used in the program to describe inquiries that the program asks users at

specific inspection checkpoints. The questions prompt the user to perform steps or tasks for a

particular inspection.

Question Set

Question Set, or Qset, is the grouping of questions. Question Sets may be assigned to inspections

to guide inspectors through the inspection process. Question Sets may also be assigned to

specific regulations to ensure that relevant information is gathered.

Task

A Task is a scheduled or unscheduled inspection activity at a specified tenant’s site. A Task may

have a question set to guide an inspector through the inspection steps if needed. The program

tracks when Tasks are completed for each Tenant. Tasks can also be scheduled to be performed

at regular intervals, such as weekly or annually.

Task To Do

The Task To Table allows you to assign and monitor inspection Tasks that need to be performed

for specific Tenants. With Task To Do Scheduling, you can easily identify Tasks that are due or

overdue, and prove that schedule requirements have been kept up to date.

User Defined Fields

The User Defined Fields (UDFs) option gives you the added flexibility to gather the specific

information you need. This function permits you to enter a caption for each UDF in a selected

table.

The following steps will install and configure the Palm Desktop software on your PC:

Step 1. Unpack the Palm and cradle

from the shipping container

Step 2. Install the battery

Step 3. With your PC turned off, connect

your Palm cable or cradle to

your PC workstation. To establish

a communication link between

the Palm and your PC:

a. Connect a serial cable to the

RS-232 connector on the charger/interface, or cradle, and to the

communications port on the PC. Use either a 9-9 pin or a 9-25-pin serial

cable, depending on your PC's communications port

b. Plug the AC adapter into the charger/interface, or cradle

c. Plug the AC adapter into a wall outlet

d. Place the Palm in the charger/interface, or cradle

Step 4. Turn on the Palm’s power switch and follow the on-screen instructions to

align the touch screen with the stylus, and set the date and time. Repeat

steps 1 through 4 for each additional Palm.

Step 5. Install the Palm Desktop software onto your PC from the SPT Desktop

Installation CD that came with the Palm. This installs the HotSync

Manager that stays active in your PC’s system tray.

Step 6. Close the Palm Desktop window on the PC

Step 7. From the Applications screen, tap the HotSync icon on the Palm. The name

of the Palm is in the upper right-hand corner of the HotSync screen. If the

Palm is not named, the upper right-hand corner will be blank.*

a. If the Palm is named: write down the name for the next step

b. If the Palm name is blank: the application will guide you through the

naming process

NOTE:

When asked for a name, use the name you wrote down in the previous step. If your Palm is not

named, we suggest using generic names such as Palm1, Palm2, Fire1, Fire2, or use your facility

initials (TISCOR) T1, T2.

11

Step 8. Test sync each Palm:

Cradle

a. Place the Palm into the cradle

b. Press the HotSync button on the cradle

c. Repeat for each Palm

Cable
