Turning a Spot Search into a Spot Fix

Platform: Portal

A Spot Search finds problems; a Spot Fix resolves them. Once a sweep has landed its finds as trouble spots, you can convert the results into fixing work in one click.

How

1. Open the Spot Search's detail page: WORK → Spot Search, then click the search.
2. Its header shows a Create Spot Fix from results button — shown for any search, since every search hunts a specific trouble-spot type.
3. Click it. The normal Spot Fix create wizard opens prefilled:
   • Every currently-unresolved trouble spot of the searched type is preselected — including spots reported before the search ever ran. Old unresolved spots of the type join the fix, which is the point.
   • The selection is scoped to the searched blocks when the search declared blocks; otherwise it matches on the type across the whole organisation.
   • The name is prefilled "Fix — {search name}".
4. Everything stays editable: deselect spots, rename it, set dates — and the Assign people step still runs, including per-step pickers if the spot type carries a resolution process (see Creating a work order).

Notes

• This is a prefill, not an instant create — nothing exists until you click Create work order.
• You don't have to wait for the search to finish. The button is there throughout, so you can spin up fixing work while the sweep is still going.
