# Swipe to pass or fail assets on mobile

When this setting is on, technicians can resolve an asset straight from an inspection report's asset list: swipe the asset's row to the right to pass it, or to the left to fail it. Neither requires opening the asset first.

> **Where to find it:** Mobile app > open an inspection report > asset list. Swipe works when the report's definition has bulk-pass questions set up (the same setup that shows the bulk **Pass** button).

## Before you start

The swipe gesture is off by default. An admin can turn it on:

1. In the web app, go to **Settings > Technician App**.
2. Under **Inspection reports**, turn **Swipe to pass or fail assets** on.
3. Select **Save**.

Technicians may need to reopen the mobile app before the change takes effect.

## Pass an asset

Swipe the row to the right past the green **Pass** area and release. The asset's pass/fail questions are answered as passing, any deficiency those questions carried is cleared, and an **Undo** banner appears. If the asset still has other required questions, it stays in progress instead of completing.

## Fail an asset

Swipe the row to the left past the red **Fail** area and release. A **Log deficiency** form opens with the asset's pass/fail question preset to **Fail** and the standard deficiency fields (description, internal notes, photos) — the same fields as tapping **Fail** inside the asset. Nothing is recorded until the technician selects **Save**, so closing the form cancels an accidental swipe. The technician can also flip the question to **Pass** in the form before saving.

If the business requires certain deficiency details (like a description or photo), **Save** stays unavailable until they are filled in.

A short swipe in either direction snaps back without changing anything, and the gesture is disabled while selecting assets for bulk actions.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://learn.withessential.com/field-operations/mobile/swipe-to-pass-or-fail-assets.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
