Calculating which inspection assignment group to use

You can use an assignment group formula to calculate which inspection assignment group Infor Public Sector will use to automatically assign inspectors based on information recorded in an application, such as its location. For example, you could write a formula that adds a Residential assignment group to any electrical, mechanical, or footing inspections for a residential construction. When an inspection is added to a residential application, Infor Public Sector looks for the specific assignment area value defined in the assignment group, such as a postal code or parcel ID. If found, Infor Public Sector assigns the group's inspector to the inspection.

You specify an assignment group formula for an inspection type when you define the inspection type. You must specify an assignment group formula for an inspection type if you want to automatically assign inspectors to inspections of that type. You define assignment groups using Inspection Assignment Group under Assignment in the menu. You then create the assignments for those groups using Inspection Assignment under Assignment.

Assignment group formulas use the oBuildingApplication object (an instance of the Hansen.CDR.Building.iBuildingApplication class) to set AssignmentGroup to a string value that is the exact name of the assignment group you want. For more information about this object and for sample code, click the Information tab in the Formula Editor.

If oBuildingApplication.Priority.Code.ToUpper = "HIGH" Then
  AssignmentGroup = "Priority"
Else
  AssignmentGroup = "State"
End If
