Faster Inspection Processing on Staff Web Site

Had a great idea from a customer for a faster way to handle most building inspections on the Staff web site. On the Inspection Review page (click the Inspections button from the main page) there is new Building Inspections list that shows any scheduled inspections due within a certain number of days. You can also filter the list by inspector. This new list has an extra column that you only see when logged in with the proper security clearance. The extra column adds a "Pass" option to each inspection listed. Clicking on the "Pass" option clears the Next Inspection Date and Next Time fields, fills in the Last Inspect date with today's date, and fills in the Result field with "PASSED." This is an incredibly quick way to clear the majority of inspections that require no further input. For those that do require more input you can still click on the "Select" option but now you go straight to the Inspection Details screen for that permit so that you can edit the detail item and add notes as needed. This should be a great new option for building inspectors using the web site in the field. One further note, there is a special feature to this page that lets each customer define their preferred verbiage if, for example, they would rather fill in "APPROVED" instead of "PASSED."
