Using Clarinspect to Monitor a Project

Using Clarinspect to Monitor a Project

Clarinspect has a great feature where a person from outside a company can have free read-only access to monitor and view the progress of a project in Clarinspect.


You will receive an invite to use Clarinspect, you need to "Accept the invitation” and set your password.

Your email address and the password you set will be your log in for the web console (hub.clarinspect.com).


Top Tip: Bookmark hub.clarinspect.com on your browser so it is easy for you to check in on the project. 


When you log in you will see a screen like below. You will see the workpackages you have been assigned to. If you see none, then contact the company that invited you and get yourself added to one.

Any images displayed are representative only and may differ depending on the version being used.


  1. User details. Click here to edit your profile. If you are registered for multiple companies, you can choose between them here.

  2. Click on the title to view work in progress.


Note: If you are on a smaller screen you may not be able to see the left menu.  Read this guide to find out how to bring it up

​
All Inspection View

If you click on the Work Package title you will see a list view of all of the inspections (or penetrations) on the site. 


  1. Filters. Use these to change what work is visible. Remember to click Apply.

  2. Individual inspections. Click the title to view the inspection. It will turn blue as you hover the mouse over the text.

  3. These icons indicate the state of the inspection.

  • Green tick= Finished

  • Green circle arrows = Active ( they are still working on it)

  • Grey Circle = Draft ( this is set-up but no work in the field yet)


As a monitor it is best to check the Finished and Active items.

As the field staff sync their data to the cloud you will be able to see all the details and photos at your desk.


You can tap on the title to take you into that inspection record, where you can also download the individual report and photo archive for that entry.


  1. Reports can be downloaded here. Click on the blue text.

  2. Zip files of photos can be downloaded here. Click on the blue text.


You can also see Work Package Summary Reports. These are intended to produce a report for a collection of inspections in a Work Package, and can be selected by using filters. To view the reports available, click the Summary Reports tab, and then click on the Reports Available button. Click here for more information on Work Package Summary Reports. 


The views of the various screens will look slightly different when accessed from a device:
