Install IC-Inspector

To deploy IC-Inspector 6.9, acquire the required devices and download the IC-Inspector 6.9 app.

Note

Before installing IC-Inspector 6.9 on your device, you must delete version 6.8. Make sure that you synchronise your data before deletion.

IC-Inspector can be installed on various platforms, including iPads, Android tablets, or Windows tablets. For more information about the installation for each platform, click the relevant section below.

Install IC-Inspector on iPad

IC-Inspector for iPad is available for free from the App Store.

Requirements

  • iPad with iPadOS 16 or later

  • IC-Web Read/Write License

  • IC-Web 6.9 or higher (6.9 recommended)

  • NEXUS DB schema 8.210

  • Deployment of IC-Inspector on multiple iPads for multiple inspectors in the field should be performed using a Mobile Device Management (MDM) solution or by using a different Apple ID on each iPad.

    Warning

    If multiple users are using IC-Inspector on different iPads but with the same Apple ID (which is not recommended), then you must turn off iCloud synchronisation for IC-Inspector before synchronising your data. Failure to do so may result in data loss.

Recommendations

  • We recommend using the iPad Pro. IC-Inspector will run on any iPad (which can be useful for testing and training), but will not run on iPhones or iPod Touches.

  • If you expect inspectors to mark up photos, we suggest purchasing an Apple Pencil.

  • If you expect inspectors to do significant quantities of typing, we also suggest purchasing a keyboard cover.

  • Note that in quiet environments, you can use the iPad’s built-in speech-to-text dictation capability. On some devices, this capability works independent of internet connection. You can go to Settings ‣ General ‣ Keyboard and check the bottom of the screen for the message “You can use Dictation for English when you are not connected to the Internet.”

    Tip

    When using speech-to-text for numeric fields, use phrases like “numeral one” for single-digit numbers; phrases like “one dot two three” for decimal numbers less than 10; phrases like “twenty three dot one nine” for decimal numbers from 10 to 100; and phrases like “one two three dot four five” for decimal numbers greater than 100.

  • If you require intrinsic safety, intrinsically safe enclosures are available from third-party vendors, but note that you may need to ship your iPad to the vendor so that they can install it into the enclosure.

  • Inspections are often conducted in extreme or hazardous environments. To ensure optimal performance, make sure your tablets are rated for the specific environmental conditions of your site, including temperature, pressure, humidity, and intrinsic safety.

Caution

Applications on iPads have a memory limit, which is specific to your device and iOS version. In case the memory limit in IC-Inspector is exceeded, the app may close without warning. We recommend that you regularly synchronise your data to free up space and avoid exceeding the application memory limit.

Security

On iPads, the app performs a check for jailbroken devices upon launching. If it detects that the device is jailbroken, it shows a notification and does not allow the user to proceed.
