When you begin completing inspections for NMFS, all work orders will be assigned, reviewed, and submitted through InspectorADE. This lesson provides a clear walkthrough of the submission process so that new vendors can confidently complete and deliver reports without delays or rejections.
1. Verify Your Assignment
Before beginning any inspection:
-
Confirm the work order is visible in your InspectorADE queue.
-
Check for required photos, special instructions, contact attempts, or access notes.
-
Review the due date and ensure you can meet it.
2. Conduct the Inspection
While on site:
-
Follow all required steps for the specific work order type.
-
Capture clear photos showing the full structure, address, meter readings, occupancy indicators, and any required interior items.
-
Take additional photos if something is unclear or unusual.
-
Ensure GPS tagging is turned on for verification.
3. Input Required Data in InspectorADE
After completing the on-site work:
-
Fill in each data field accurately.
-
Enter contact attempts exactly as performed.
-
Provide complete notes describing property condition, occupancy indicators, safety issues, or any deviations.
-
Do not leave fields blank unless “N/A” is appropriate.
4. Upload Photos
When uploading:

Confirm each photo is correctly oriented.
-
Remove blurry or duplicate photos.
