Our goal in this article is to provide you with helpful tips and instructions on how to efficiently utilize location tags. We'll walk through creating and adding location tags to your templates and reports, and how to use them on our app. We want to help you personalize your reports by offering the option to customize your tags or utilize our preset options. And don't worry, you can either pre-create your tags or easily add them as you go. Let's get started!
What is a Location Tag?
A location tag is a fantastic tool that can help you pinpoint where a comment or picture was taken within a specific location.
You may know them as captions, photo tags, location tabs, photo captions, or some other name. Whatever you refer to them as they're super helpful to have handy while filling out your inspection reports.
It's especially helpful for inspections with multiple rooms or similar settings, as it keeps everything organized and makes it easier to keep track of which comments or images belong where. For example, if you have multiple bedrooms but the defect is only occurring in the master bedroom, you could add a master bedroom location tag.
