What is the recommended approach for automatically generating a violation record during inspections?

The most effective approach for automatically generating a violation record during inspections involves building an auto-launched Flow that will generate violations based on inspection results. This method allows for a robust and automated process that can handle various scenarios and data inputs dynamically.

Using an auto-launched Flow enables you to create a configurable and scalable solution that can adapt to changes in business processes or specific requirements for different types of inspections. It can evaluate the results and conditions from the inspection in real-time, ensuring that violations are recorded immediately when the criteria for a violation are met.

This automation reduces the risk of human error that may occur with manual processes and enhances efficiency by freeing up resources to focus on other tasks. Moreover, auto-launched Flows provide greater flexibility as you can easily modify the flow logic without altering the underlying data model.

In contrast, simply editing the "Results" picklist field to select the "Violations" checkbox for failed items may not adequately capture the nuances of the inspection process or accommodate future modifications that could arise in monitoring violations, making it less effective than using an auto-launched Flow for automatic generation.
