What Happens During an ATF Inspection?

During an ATF inspection, you can:

• Search any record instantly — by serial number, manufacturer, model, date, or any field
• Generate bound book PDFs on demand — formatted exactly as ATF expects
• Show full correction history — every edit with original/new values and timestamps
• Demonstrate your backup schedule — automated hourly backups to secure cloud storage
• Provide ATF read-only access — inspector mode lets ATF view records without edit capability
• Export data — PDF, CSV, or ASCII text format as requested by the inspector

Inspector Access Mode

You can enable a read-only inspector account that gives the ATF examiner direct access to search and view your records during an inspection. This account has no edit permissions and creates its own audit trail of records viewed.
