Notes

  1. If an an Observation rather than a Defect is logged the comments will be recorded in the report but not specifically flagged up on the Managers Dashboard ↩

  2. For efficiency, a number of defects would be addresses at the same time, these can be filtered by Code, location or Inspection type. ↩
