Inspection schedules and due windows

Every equipment type has its own inspection cadence, made of two settings:

• The interval — how often the type must be inspected. Monthly is typical for AEDs and fire extinguishers; eyewash stations run weekly.
• The due-soon window — how many days before the due date a unit starts appearing on the Due tab, giving you runway.

Where due inspections appear#

• The Inspections page's Due tab — everything overdue or inside its window. Clear this tab and you are current.
• The dashboard (needs attention and upcoming), the calendar, and Alerts when something crosses into overdue.

Changing the cadence#

1. Open Inspections → Manage schedule (Administrators).
2. Set the interval and due-soon window per equipment type.
3. Save — next-due dates recalculate from each unit's latest inspection.

Note: The due date is anchored to the latest recorded inspection, so recording on time keeps the cycle steady; recording late does not shorten your next cycle.
