Using Inspection Filters on the Hub

Work Package Filters

When you are looking at your Work Package view, you can use the filters on the right hand side to narrow down the amount of Work Packages you are looking at.


You can filter by:

Assigned user - this will show you all Work Packages that a certain user can access

Assigned manager - this will show all Work Packages that have a certain Work Package Manager 

Status - change this for viewing ‘draft’ ‘archived’ or ‘active’ Work Packages


You can also filter directly by typing the name (or part of the name) of a Work Package into the top bar. 


You can sort the way Work Packages are displayed, whether ordered by:

  1. Label / Date created / Date last updated

  2. Ascending / Descending


Inspection and Summary Report Filters

When looking at a Work Package, in 'All Inspections' or 'Summary Reports' you can filter the inspections shown or reported using the filters on the right hand side.

By changing these and clicking on Apply you can view, export and complete a different set of inspections.

Depending on your inspection type, there may be additional filters shown.

Filter choices 

Setting different fields - AND

If you choose two different filters to use, this will be AND. So the choices below will return all inspections that are "Final Coating Audit v0.1" AND are assigned to "Mark Fire"

Multiple choices - OR

If you choose more than one value for a single filter, this will be OR. So the choices below will return all inspections that are "Final Coating Audit v0.1" AND are assigned to "Mark Fire" OR "Rosie Outlook"

Review States Filter

Because Inspections in review can be Live or Archived, if you use the review filter it will automatically set the lifecycle status to ensure a complete return for that review state. If you choose to see All Passed, then the Status filter will also be set to Finished, as in order to Pass the inspection must also be Finished.


Solution Filters

Some of the inspection types in Clarinspect are solutions, with data analysis, automated colouring of drawing location pins (text balloons), summary reports and other enhanced features. The FireQA product set consists of many such solutions.
In a Work Package, if there is a single solution, or you have filtered to one inspection type that is part of a solution, then you will see the solution filters.

Solution filters work the same as basic ones for AND as well as OR. The solution filters differ by the type of work they are for and can be easily extended - so if there is a field missing, ask Clarinspect support about getting it added if it is useful.

Filters on Drawings

The filters available on the Drawings tab are extended if you have a solution on the Work Package.


Top Tip : Set ‘Merge balloons within’ to 0 before applying filters.

This is found on the right hand side under Drawing Settings.

The annotations will appear more swiftly if the merging is turned off. 






As all data is loaded into the Drawing when you view it, the filters here act immediately. 


The Drawing displays all annotations for all work, whether Live or Archived. It does not show Cancelled work.

Colours based on Inspection Classification

The Classifications for solutions also have a colour scheme. These are available under the Drawing Settings.


For example, going from all green text balloons, to colouring by installation type.
