Ratings help communicate the severity and condition of inspection findings, such as Safety, Requires Attention, Recommendation, Maintenance, and Inspected.

You can customize how rating definitions appear and optionally include a high-level overview that summarizes findings by category. Updates appear instantly in preview, allowing inspectors to see exactly how their report will appear before sending it.

The Ratings section controls how inspection findings are visually summarized and explained within the report.

Inspectors can customize:

  • How rating definitions appear

  • Whether a high-level rating summary (Overview) is shown

All updates appear instantly in preview, allowing inspectors to see exactly how your report will look before sending it.

Let's go over each style:

Style 1 – Color Blocks

In this style, ratings are displayed in a single-column layout. Each rating icon appears within a colored block, with the title and description shown beside it.

This option is best suited for inspectors who prefer a traditional, documentation-focused presentation that keeps definitions structured and easy to scan. It most closely resembles the current ratings design.

When the Overview toggle is enabled, rating counts appear at the top of the section as color-coded square boxes, matching the corresponding rating colors.

Style 2 – Color Flags

In this style, ratings are displayed as badges with the rating definition below. The icon and title appear together at the top, with the description positioned beneath.

This layout offers a more visual, modern presentation and is ideal for client-friendly reports designed for quick readability.

When the Overview toggle is enabled, rating counts are embedded directly within the colored rating bars alongside the rating name, creating a streamlined, dashboard-like summary experience.

In addition to these two styles, provides a high-level summary of how many findings fall into each rating category.

This section appears above the rating definitions when enabled.

Overview Visibility

You can control the visible of the over view:

  • Toggling the overview ON β†’ Summary appears above definitions

  • Toggling the overview OFF β†’ Definitions only
