B. DEMO THE 3D MOBILE INSPECTOR INTERFACE

After installing, open a Sample report to demo the interface.  All devices may insert landscape and portrait photos, but larger tablets main screen can rotate, whereas smaller phone sized devices use portrait.

C. CLOUD3D SERVICES

Cloud3D

  Learn more about Cloud3D Services 
 
  Activate Cloud3D Services:

1. Click Here to sign-up for Cloud3D Services.  You or your employer must have an active subscription to use Cloud3D Services. If you have not yet purchased the software, contact sales about your option for a limited trial offer.

2. 3D Inspection Systems will email you when your account is enabled, after which you may begin using it.

Login with your User name (Activation ID/Account ID email used during initial activation of your desktop software) and password when sending or retrieving reports, or the login provided to you by your employer if you belong to a multiple inspection firm.

Multiple Inspection Firms:  Where official additional Branch copies have been obtained by employers, the inspector may sign up and use their independent Cloud3D Services account to directly upload and retrieve inspections.  Otherwise employers MUST add and manage the inspector logins from the report writer Preferences Cloud3D Services tab in the main software using the master login, including for the owner/operator if also an inspector.  A main office master login should NEVER be used to log in on a mobile device and never provided to any inspector.  Each inspector using Cloud3D Services should ONLY use the sub-account login assigned to them on their mobile device to avoid accidentally overwriting others' reports.  Inspector logins may be updated, changed, or managed by the main office at any time.  Inspections should always be created from and converted back to the same main office controlled computer, which generally would use the master login, which may also be "remembered" without revealing it, if inspectors are granted access to use the desktop software.  See Instructions on how to Manage Sub-Accounts

OTHER TIPS AND NOTES


Special Note about limited graphical forms (WDO, Wind Mitigation, HUD, etc.): 3D Mobile Inspector works exceptionally well for narrative style forms used for most inspections.  However special graphical forms that print a special pre-designed hard-coded layout have these restrictions and caveats. Since 3D Mobile Inspector does not know a form is designed to print graphically, do not use the copy heading or subheading option because graphical forms can only print existing fields on the final printout.  Only insert photos into any fields specifically previously designated to accept them, as they will not otherwise work. Only insert a single photo into each such designated photo field.  Where a photo section is available in a graphical form, usually there are multiple fields for inserting photos separately.  None of these restrictions apply to regular narrative style form groups. (To verify whether a particular form group is graphical or not, switch to the regular Report Writer and click File > New Inspection to view your forms groups. White icons in the listing are narrative; Yellow icons are graphical)

Notes about Images: Images may be inserted directly from the camera or gallery by long pressing the camera icon.  We don't recommend embedding more than 100 photos per report to ensure reports don't become excessively large to transfer.

Notes about added comments: Tap a comment field below a subheading label to add additional manual comments that will print following selected narratives.  For a one-time comment simply add a desired save.  For a comment you'd like to add for future inspections use the menu option to save as a new narrative.  Note that if you use the menu to Import existing selected narratives to edit them further, any rich text formatting can't be retained because the mobile device doesn't support the same libraries as desktop.  However narratives remaining selected on the main app menu will import original master form comment, including any rich text formatting (colors, bolding, italics, etc) in your final report since it does so at retrieve time.  Therefore if it's important to you to retain particular original style formatting and yet make further edits to a standard comment, you may wish to just bookmark it, and then flip through bookmarks after retrieval to make your final edits to those comments.

Note about summary: If your forms are set to automatically use Ratings to mark items for summary, the field is automatically flagged  for summary when you tap the appropriate rating(s). However if your forms are not set to use ratings for summary, then you may manually flag a field for summary by tapping to edit comments and selecting the desired summary area there. Any narratives pre-set for summary in such forms also do so automatically when selected.
