Inspections & scores

An inspection template is the checklist the supervisor walks through. A template belongs to one kind of area, for example restrooms. It is made of sections, and each section has items.

Ready templates

You do not have to start from scratch. Mopful comes with a ready template for each area type: office, classroom, medical office, restroom detail, break room, lobby, hallway and stairs, conference room, storage room, locker room, glass and entrance, and night closing. There are two more for a whole-office walk-through and for floor care. They are all in English and Spanish.

An area points at one template. When you add an area, it gets the ready template for its type.

Make your own

To change a ready template, duplicate it and edit the copy. In the editor you can:

• add, remove and reorder sections and items,
• choose how an item is answered: pass or fail; Good, Needs attention or Safety issue; 1 to 5; a percentage; a number; a short text; or a photo,
• decide which answers count as a problem,
• require a photo or a comment on an item always, only when it is a problem, or never,
• allow or forbid N/A on an item,
• write quick comments the inspector can pick with one tap.

Write each item in English and Spanish. If you fill in only one language, Mopful translates the other and marks it "Auto-translated", so you can check it.

Templates are edited by the owner or by a manager with permission to set up templates. Editing needs a connection, so do it on the web or on the phone while online.

How scores work

Each answer turns into a percentage: pass is 100 and fail is 0; Good is 100, Needs attention is 50 and Safety issue is 0; 1 to 5 stars go from 0 to 100 in steps of 25; a percentage counts as it is. Items marked N/A, and items that are not scored such as text, photo and number, do not count.

Item scores add up to an area score and a site score, shown with one decimal. A score of 90 or more is Good, 75 or more is Fair and anything lower is Poor. The average score on dashboards and summaries is the mean of the inspection scores.

Versions

Every time you save a template, Mopful stores it as a new version. A save with no changes does not create one. An inspection keeps the version it was started with, so editing a template never changes an old score or an old report.

Delete and switch off

You can switch a template off or delete it. Mopful refuses to delete a template while an area still uses it, and tells you which areas.
