What is a Survey? A survey is a property status report for all fixtures in a particular trade. Surveys are created by admin users. Surveyors receive email notification that a new survey is ready for them to complete. Surveyors complete Surveys via the Surveyor Portal. TO CREATE A SURVEY Go to the Property/Trade that you want to have surveyed. Find the +Survey button with +Contract and +WOs top right under the trade tabs. Choose a due date, surveyor and add any optional special instructions. The survey will be issued and an email sent to the Surveyor.
