SnapInspect's Remember Area Layout feature saves the checklist structure for a specific asset, such as the number of rooms in a building. Once enabled, SnapInspect remembers the setup, so you won't need to reconfigure it for future inspections of the same asset, making repeat inspections faster and more efficient.
How to Enable Remember Area Layout
Navigate to the Checklist section of the SnapInspect Web App
Choose the Inspection Type (blue icon) you want to enable the Remember Area Layout feature for
Check Remember Area Layout and update
Select the three lines to the right of the inspection type you've just toggled
In the dropdown select Config
Check 'Enable this option to remember asset layout/template for future inspections'
Note: When you conduct an inspection for a property for the first time, you define its layout - such as rooms like "Room," "Entrance," etc. SnapInspect saves this configuration, so during subsequent inspections, the system automatically loads the previously defined layout, eliminating the need to re-enter this information each time.

Once enabled, you'll enter the area layout for this Asset & Inspection Type one final time after starting an inspection.
