Report pre-set is a feature designed to empower SnapInspect users through basic report customization. The report pre-set feature allows our customers to create/modify reports to fit your company. Our main goal is to allow users to set-up to assist our users with basic to intermediate level report customization.

Once you complete your ideal “report pre-set” please remember to go back to the “Checklist Config” button and assign your preferred “report pre-set” to “Inspection type” The report pre-set feature only works with report template set to “report pre-set”.

Once you have assigned your preferred “report pre-Set” to Inspection Type and synced your device, everything will be ready to go & linked to the appropriate areas, enjoy the new-found freedom you have for report customization!

Photos

1. Photo Display Location: To have photos displayed after each area or display all photos at the end of the report.

2. Photo Per Row: This option lets you decide how many photos per row you would like to have. Remember the more photos per row the smaller the photos on the inspection report. For landscape reports, this number will add 1 due to the width of the page.

3. Photo caption: Choose which information you want to show under each photo.

Report Summary

Display Summary: Toggling this on will allow for your inspection report to have a summary section of specific ratings. Usually a short list of poor/bad items.

Summary Rating: This is the ratings that you want to be displayed on your summary page. Please ensure that you have spelt each rating exactly as you have it on your checklist

Calculations:

For calculations to work, they need to have that area or item selected as a "number only field."

Once this has been selected our system will calculate what is in the selected field, hence having to be numbers to enable report calculation.

Enable Calculation: toggling this function will enable the calculation of your inspection reports.

Calculation configuration: Define formula as sum up (normally for costing evaluation), or average (for average/scoring of the section/item, the score sum/number of items).

Include empty item into calculation: For average formula, toggle between only including items that have a score or all items to be divided.

Calculate Display Prefix/Unit: To allow a unit character display in front of the calculated result. E.g. $.

Side by Side Report

Enable Merge Report: This feature allows users to have side by side inspection reports. For example, a move in inspection beside a move out inspection to compare conditions. Please note only inspections using the same checklist with be compared.

Merge with inspection type: To merge inspections, please type in the exact name of the inspection type to merge with. Please note the merged report will look back to find most recent inspection to merge.
