Adding/Editing Report templates 

Default profile settings shipped with INSPECTEXPRESS™ are saved in the 'Default' template and can be modified to the user's preferences. Other templates are also available to use/edit based on a variety of inspection standards (ASHI, NACHI, NAHI etc.) It is possible to also configure additional templates so that default settings for different applications can be created. Use custom report templates for different types of inspections such as condominiums, mobile homes etc.

Report templates include the following settings:

• Sections/inserts to include in the report by default 

• The order the sections/inserts are written to the report (See Report Template Settings)

• Titles for the report sections/inserts. (See Title Settings)
