Optional categories and lines
Categories and lines can be set as optional for a template. This is done in the Template editor. When a category or line is marked as optional, it will not appear in the default list when you start an inspection with the template, but it will be readily available to be added in.
For an in depth guide on optional items use this document: Setting up and using Optional lines and categories
Description
A list of visual descriptors can be added to an inspection line in this section. The descriptors added create a multiple-choice list available at the time of the inspection, which means that several descriptions can be used for one line.
- Add, delete, or rename descriptors by using the Edit List button
Additional inputs
Additional inputs are a great way to provide extra details to an inspection line. A great example of this is using an additional input to specify the type of exterior of a home, versus only providing a description.
- Add, delete, or rename additional inputs by tapping the blue + Additional Input button found below Description
- Use the Edit List button to add options to your additional input
Media
The Media section is included by default with every line, it allows photos and videos to be added to an inspection item so that they appear each time you do an inspection.
Location
Locations provide the ability to set a default location within a home for the line being inspected.
For an in-depth guide for setting up and using locations use the following guide: Locations
