Contact UsRed, Yellow, Green—what each inspection rating means, what it's called on each screen, and what happens after you save.
Every item on an inspection gets one of three ratings. They mean the same thing in every bay and on every list.
| Rating | What it means | What happens when you save |
|---|---|---|
| Red | Needs attention right away | Becomes an open Attention Item |
| Yellow | Something is off and needs attention soon | Becomes an open Attention Item |
| Green | The item meets your standard | Nothing. The item is clear |
WashUp uses color buttons while you're inspecting and words everywhere else. They line up like this.
| Rating | While inspecting | In run history and reports |
|---|---|---|
| Red | Red | Critical |
| Yellow | Yellow | Needs Attention |
| Green | Green | Passed |
The Report an Issue form skips the colors entirely and offers Needs Attention and Critical, which are Yellow and Red.
On an item set up for a reading, you type a number instead of picking a color, and WashUp assigns the rating from the thresholds the item was built with. With Higher values are better, a reading at or above the Green threshold is Green, one at or above the Yellow threshold is Yellow, and anything lower is Red. With Lower values are better the comparisons flip.
