This feature allows inspectors to seamlessly integrate assigned inspections into their personal calendars, improving scheduling efficiency and work planning. When inspectors receive assignment notifications, they can directly add inspection events to their preferred calendar application with pre-populated details and appropriate time blocking.
Fire department inspectors often manage multiple inspections across various properties and timeframes. This calendar integration feature streamlines the scheduling process by automatically creating calendar events from inspection assignments.

This automation reduces manual data entry and helps inspectors maintain organized schedules while ensuring no inspections are overlooked.
