  • Up and Down arrow buttons

  • Buttons for tests you have added to a sub-inspection (Checkbox, Timer, Line Break, Date/Time, Defect List, URL/HTML tests in example above)

  • A right-click menu

  • Property settings for whichever button is selected in the Inspection Editor, including the inspection or any of its sub-inspections or sub-inspection tests. Properties are specific to each item.

  • In the example above, the Properties panel displays property settings for the Fluid check sub-inspection. If you would click on the Timer, for example, the Properties panel would display property settings for the Timer test.

  • Change the property settings for any item added to the inspection or for the inspection itself. Clicking a button selects that item and displays properties specific to that inspection item. For help using the Properties panel, see Changing Property Settings

Changing the order of sub-inspections and tests

Copying and pasting sub-inspections and sub-inspection tests

You can copy and paste a sub-inspection or a sub-inspection's tests within the same inspection or to a different inspection. Any property settings specific to that item are copied along with that item. See Copy and Paste.

Changing how the Inspection Editor displays

Saving changes, publishing, and closing inspections

Note: After upgrading from a previous version of GainSeeker, editing an inspection and closing it without making any changes may still display a prompt that asks if you wish to save changes. This is expected behavior and occurs because of new inspection properties in the newer GainSeeker version.
