Avoid creating duplicate doors

If the door you are inspecting already exists in RiskBase, you must not duplicate it. It's important to have single record of each door in RiskBase, in-order to maintain the golden thread of data.

Photo

Add a Photo of a door

1. Press on the photo field.
2. Use your devices camera to take a photo or select a photo from your devices photo library.
3. Press Use Photo.

Photos can be updated at a later date but it's worth capturing a high-quality image so future visitors to the element can easily identify it.

QR

Link a QR Code to a door

1. Attach a RiskBase QR Code label to the element.
2. Inside the RiskBase app inspection, press on the QR field.
3. Point your devices camera to the QR Code label.

This will create a link between the physical element and the data held in RiskBase.

In the case of a fire door, it's common to attach the label to the hinge side door jam to keep the labels descreet. It's down to each organisation where they choose to attach the labels.

Pin

Drop a Pin to identify the door's location

1. Press on the Pin field.
2. Select the relevant floor plan.
3. Tap on the screen to drop the pin.
4. Pinch to zoom and drag the pin around to refine the location.

There is no requirement to record every piece of information on an initial visit. Information in RiskBase is designed to be reviewed and built upon over time.

If floor plans are not available or you don't yet have QR Code labels, skip these steps.

Specification

Each element has a set of fields to record the specific information required. Field types include: text, drop-down, number, date, time or image.

1. Fill in the information you can.
2. Do not provide any information unless you are sure of the accuracy.
