As you complete a narrative inspection, you may easily add new inspection items and comments, replicate sections for repeated components or rooms, or adjust the labels for existing inspection items or report areas.

Since Report Writer inspection report files can take up room over time, particularly when lots of images or attachments are included, some inspectors may wish to periodically remove older ones from their hard drive to save space or simply to make future full data backups from their 3D program faster and smaller.

Note: Before deleting any data files we recommend using Office Management File > Backup All Files option to back up all existing data as a precaution. You should be making regular backups periodically. See our prior Tips article on  Safeguarding your important inspection data.

We’re all familiar with the adage “A picture says a thousand words”. Your inspection findings influence your client’s confidence in one of the most significant purchases they may ever make. Simply including photos of major or hard to describe findings certainly adds much to your report presentation, but you may take it a step further. Highlight observations using arrows, circles, and similar tools, and clarify your findings by enlarging image areas or including labels. Do all this easily and quickly using tools built right into your powerful 3D Inspection System software.

Adjust Spell Check Preferences and options to control how spell check works. For example, some have mentioned that spell checking it not working when typing, or although their spell checker underlines questionable words as they type, they are not seeing any suggestions.
