Inspection Task Groups

Organize and manage quality control inspection operations through structured task groups and workflows.

Overview

An Inspection Task Group is a set of inspection tasks — one per sub-bin — that are created and processed together. Each group carries:

• An external reference identifying the group.
• A category that classifies its purpose. Currently supported categories are Investigation and Count.
• A list of inspection tasks, one per sub-bin to be inspected.

Task groups can be created in two ways:

• From the Voyager WCS Admin UI — via the Create Inspection actions on the Bin Issues, Product Details, and Bin Detail pages (see Creating an Inspection Task Group from Admin below).
• From an external system (WMS → WCS) — by calling the Import Inspection Task Group API.

All created task groups appear on the Inspection Task Groups page, where operators can view status, filter by category, and drill into individual tasks.

Creating an Inspection Task Group from Admin

When an administrator triggers any of the “Create Inspection” actions in the Voyager WCS Admin UI, a popup appears asking to pick the inspection category — Investigation or Count — before the task group is created. This applies to all three pages that create inspection tasks: Bin Issues, Product Details, and Bin Detail.

1. Open one of the three admin pages that create inspection tasks:
   • Bin Issues — via the “Page Actions” menu on the table.
   • Product Details — via the Create Inspection button in the Locations table header.
   • Bin Detail — via the Create Inspection badge on the bin summary card.
2. Click the relevant “Create Inspection” action.
3. A popup titled Select Inspection Category appears with a dropdown. The Submit button stays disabled until you pick a value.
4. Pick either Investigation or Count from the dropdown, then click Submit.
5. The task group is created with the category you chose and appears on the Inspection Task Groups page.

The popup

The popup appears immediately after you click any of the three “Create Inspection” actions. It has a single dropdown, a Cancel button, and a Submit button.

The same popup on the other two pages

On the Product Details and Bin Detail pages, you click the existing trigger and the same popup appears.

Figure 4 — Bin Detail page. Click the Create Inspection badge on the bin summary card.

Important — Cancelling does not create a task

If you click Cancel in the popup, or click outside the popup, no inspection task group is created and nothing is sent to the system. Safe to dismiss if you opened it by mistake.

Category cannot be changed after submit

Once you click Submit, the task group is created with the selected category and appears on the Inspection Task Groups page. Choose carefully — to change it you would need to complete or discard the existing task group and create a new one.

Confirming the category on the Inspection Task Groups page

The new task group appears on the Inspection Task Groups page under the Category column with the value you selected in the popup — Investigation or Count.
