What Are Records?
Records are the core unit of compliance — each one represents a project-vendor pair.
A record in Inori represents the compliance relationship between one vendor and one project. It is the fundamental unit that Inori tracks.
The Project-Vendor Pair
When you add a vendor to a project, Inori creates a record. If the same vendor works on three different projects, that vendor has three separate records — one per project — each with its own compliance state, certificate history, and requirement checks.
This design reflects how compliance actually works: a vendor may be fully compliant at one property while non-compliant at another, because each project can have different insurance requirements.
What a Record Contains
Each record stores:
- Compliance state — One of eight states (Draft, Awaiting COI, Under Review, Compliant, Non-Compliant, Waived, Expired, Archived).
- Certificates — All COIs uploaded for this vendor-project pair, including historical versions.
- Requirement results — The outcome of each insurance requirement check against the latest certificate.
- Timeline — A chronological log of every state change, upload, and action taken on the record.
- Assignee — The team member responsible for managing this record.
Navigating Records
You can access records in two ways:
- From a project — Open a project and click the Records tab to see all vendor records for that project.
- From the global Records page — Click Records in the main sidebar to see all records across all projects, with filters for state, project, vendor, and assignee.
Key Concept
Think of records as compliance tickets. Each one tracks a single vendor's insurance status at a single location from start to finish.
