Defects

Every failed item becomes a defect on the door. Open defects are listed on the door's page.

What a defect records

  • What's wrong: your description of the failed item.
  • Risk / priority: Critical, High, Medium or Low. Each item has a sensible default you can change.
  • Required action: what needs doing. A suggestion is filled in for you.
  • Responsible person: who is going to fix it.
  • Target date: when it should be fixed by.
  • Photos: the photos you took of the defect.

Default target dates

The target date is set from the priority, counting from today. Changing the priority resets the date; you can then change it to any date in the next two years.

Priority Fix within
Critical 1 day
High 7 days
Medium 14 days
Low 28 days

When the same item fails again

If an item fails while its defect from an earlier inspection is still unresolved, Adore updates that defect instead of adding a second one. Your new priority, action, responsible person and target date replace the old ones, and the defect's history shows it failed again.

How a defect closes

When a later inspection passes the item, the defect is marked Verified automatically, and the record shows which inspection verified it.
