# Book an Inspection From Your Phone: The Schedule Tab in Hive

> Book a new inspection or send a quote from the Hive Inspect mobile app's Schedule tab: the same form as the dashboard, inside the app, plus what each message means.

In the mobile app: the **Schedule** tab (the plus in the middle of the tab bar).

The **Schedule** tab opens the dashboard's **New Inspection** form inside the app, so you can book a job or send a quote from your phone, for example while you're on the phone with a client. It's the same form, with the same services, prices, contacts and automations as on the dashboard. See [Schedule an inspection or send a quote](https://docs.hiveinspect.com/how-tos/schedule-or-send-quote.md) for every field.

## Book an inspection

1. Tap **Schedule**. The app signs you in to the form ("Signing you in…", then "Loading scheduler…"). You don't type your password.
2. Fill in the form: address, client, services, date and time, and so on.
3. Save it the way you would on the dashboard: schedule it, send it to the client as a quote, or save a draft.

The app then tells you what happened, and the new inspection is in your **Inspections** list:

| Message | Means |
| - | - |
| **Inspection scheduled** | It's booked and confirmed. Your booking automations run. |
| **Sent for client review** | The client got the quote to review and accept. |
| **Draft saved** | It's saved as a draft. Nothing is sent. |

Each says "It will appear in your Inspections list." Tap **View Inspections** to go there, or **OK** to book another.

## The header buttons

| Button | What it does |
| - | - |
| **Open in browser** (box with an arrow) | Opens the same form in your phone's browser. |
| **Reload** (circular arrow) | Loads the form again. If you've started filling it in, the app asks "Discard unsaved changes? Your inspection has not been saved yet." |

Links in the form that go elsewhere on the dashboard, and phone and email links, open in your browser or your phone's apps.

## When it doesn't load

![The Schedule Inspection tab showing a red exclamation mark, Couldn't start scheduling, Something went wrong on our side. Please try again, or schedule from your browser, a blue Try again button and an Open in browser link](https://mintcdn.com/hiveinspect-43c85ed1/t9Q1_TNVwS8aDUOV/images/how-tos/mobile-schedule-error.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=t9Q1_TNVwS8aDUOV\&q=85\&s=935bbb3d4836bcc1852da2c43ee13389)

| Message | What to do |
| - | - |
| **You're offline**: "Scheduling needs an internet connection." | Connect. The app tries again on its own when you're back online. |
| **Couldn't start scheduling** | Tap **Try again**, or **Open in browser** to book there. |
| **Couldn't load the scheduling page** | Check your connection and tap **Try again**. Anything you'd typed needs to be entered again. |
| **Couldn't sign you in** | Tap **Try again**, or book in your browser. |
| **Please sign in again** | Sign out of the app and back in, then try again. |
| **Too many attempts** | Wait a minute and try again. |
| **In-app scheduling not available yet** | Book from your browser with **Open in browser**. |

## Other messages

* **No reports remaining**: "Your plan has no reports remaining, so a new inspection cannot be created. Manage your subscription from the web dashboard on your computer."
* **Unsaved inspection**: when you start a new booking while one is half filled in, the app asks whether to **Keep editing** or **Discard** it.

## Common questions

> **Is this different from booking on the dashboard?**
>
> No. It's the same form and does exactly the same things, including your automations and calendar events.

> **Can I schedule offline?**
>
> No. Scheduling needs an internet connection.

> **Where do I find the inspection after booking?**
>
> In the **Inspections** tab. Tap **View Inspections** on the message after you save. Drafts and quotes waiting for the client only show if you add their status in the [status filter](https://docs.hiveinspect.com/how-tos/mobile-inspection-list.md#show-other-statuses).
