Uploading inspection results

Send completed inspection results from the Inspection App to Tag Browser by .iwt file or QR code.

Back up first

Before transferring, open the sidebar menu in the Inspection App and click Backup. The app automatically adds a date/time suffix to the filename.

Start a transfer

Do this first in the Inspection App, then pick a transfer method below.

1. In the Equipment Browser, select the items you want to transfer — typically Select All to include every completed item, or check individual rows if you only need a subset.

2. Open the Sidebar Menu (hamburger icon, top-left) and click Transfer under Actions.

   (Sidebar menu — Transfer under Actions)

   (Select Upload Method dialog)

.iwt file upload

Use this method when the inspection device does not have internet access. You create a file and transfer it manually.

1. In the Select Upload Method dialog, choose Create .iwt File.

2. Save the file — keep the default filename for traceability.

3. Transfer the .iwt file to a device with internet access (e.g. via USB or network share).

4. In the Tag Browser, click the Inspection dropdown and choose Upload.

   (Inspection dropdown — Upload)

5. Configure the upload options and leave Skip Backup unchecked — see Upload Dialog for every setting.

6. Click IWP file and select the .iwt file.

   (File selected and ready to upload)

7. Click Upload and wait until the system messages show Upload processed successfully and the status reads Done.

   (Upload complete — system messages)

QR code upload

Use this method when both your inspection device and a computer with Tag Browser have internet access. Results upload directly — no .iwt file needed. Start from the Select Upload Method dialog after Start a transfer.

1. In the Select Upload Method dialog, choose Upload by QR Code.

2. In the Tag Browser, click the Inspection dropdown and choose QR Upload.

   (Inspection dropdown — QR Upload)

   (QR Upload pairing page)

3. Scan the QR code in Tag Browser — the app pairs with the project and uploads your inspection data.

4. Watch the Status line on the QR Upload page — it changes from Waiting for upload to Upload complete when the transfer finishes.

   (QR Upload — upload complete)

Link expiry

The upload link is valid for 30 minutes and one successful upload. To upload again, return to the Project Dashboard and click QR Upload once more.

What happens after upload

• The Inspection Date, IWP Upload Date, and Grade columns in the equipment grid update to show the most recent inspection for each item
• Non-Conformity (N) findings create new defects automatically
• The D (Defects) column in the equipment grid reflects new findings
• The Events log (managers only) and the equipment HISTORY tab record the IWP import

Troubleshooting

Issue	Solution
Upload fails	Check that you are selecting an .iwt file (not .iwp). If the file is 0 KB or the upload still fails, transfer it from the device again
Defects not created after upload	Check that Ignore NC inspection results is set to No in the upload options
Equipment data not updated	Ensure Automatically update equipment list is set to Yes in the upload options
Can’t find uploaded results	Check the Inspection Date column in the equipment grid. For a full audit trail, open the Equipment Window and check the HISTORY tab
