Overview
An Inspection Test Plan (ITP) is a document that outlines the steps and procedures for the inspection and testing of a particular product or project. It is a comprehensive plan that includes all the necessary details about the testing and inspection process, such as the type of tests to be conducted, the equipment to be used, the criteria for acceptance or rejection of the product, and the frequency of testing.
An ITP is typically developed by a quality control team or a project manager to ensure that the product or project meets the required standards and specifications. The plan helps to identify any potential issues or defects in the product or project, and it provides a framework for corrective actions to be taken if any problems are identified.
ITPs are commonly used in a variety of industries, including construction, manufacturing, and engineering. They are essential for ensuring that products and projects meet the required quality standards and specifications and that they are safe for use.

✅ | Efficient Reporting | Automates report generation, making it easy to create comprehensive ITP reports. |
Getting Started
The ITP application aids as a source of defaults for Tasks and Activities that commonly are required for ITP process documentation.
Tasks:
Tasks are used to Group related activities
Activities:
Activities are used to define the detail of the activity, and the evidence required as a default to demonstrate that the work has been completed. These set the default on the ITP form when created on a project.
If you are using ITC’s, the ITC template can be defined also as a default.
Options (for Activities)
Your Responsible Party list and Action Point list can be defined in the options menu. This is the list of combo options in these respective fields within the activity configuration above.
Screen Guide
After the configuration of your templates and ITP module is completed, you can proceed to create ITP’s from a project.
1. Creating a new ITP from a Project
Create the form
Populated required form fields
Select ITP Tasks
ITP Activities will auto-select from your pre-sefined ITP module configuration
Add or remove to this list
Click “Commit Listed Activities”
to add new activities that may be project-specific, you can click “ITP Activities”
Click “Save”
The selected ITP activities will auto-populate the ITP Activity subforms into the ITP form:
Submit the Inspection Test Plan form.
The Inspection Test Plan form name will be appended with the Task you have selected in the ITP form
This eliminates the need to manage multiple ITP templates.
2. Creating ITC’s from the ITP
If ITC’s are being used, you can navigate to the activity subform that you just created from the ITP. There is a button “Manage ITC’s” that will help you select the ITC template and the Quantity if ITC to generate.
click activity
Click “Manage ITC’s”
Select the ITC Template, Quantity and click “create” to generate the ITC’s on the project
Once created, you will see the ITC’s as a draft linked to the project
the % complete for the ITC form is available to view in the pop-up window as well as on the form.
the % complete is a simple calculation that reflects the % of complete form fields of the ITC form.
where there are 100 fields, the form is considered 100% complete when all fields are populated.
The owner is removed to allow standard users to locate and edit ITC’s.
