The Web Report Writer is a feature directly available in each ISN order. You can use it to add a few missing details or even complete an entire report without having to use the Mobile Report Writer.

FINDING THE WEB REPORT WRITER

You can find it by accessing the Order Grid and navigating to Inspections > Scheduled Inspections:

Once you access the Order Gird, there will be two options to find the Report Writer in your ISN.

Option 1

3. This option allows you to upload all media, such as images and videos taken during the inspection, which can later be assigned to comments and detail sections.

4. This option provides a quick overview of the report's progress.

5. This shows the template used for the inspection report, displaying the categories and progress numbers on the right side for easy tracking.

6. This option allows you to add a new category to the template. It won’t affect the default template in the template editor in ISN, only the current order's template.
