Frequently Asked Questions

  • Is there a way to put a cover letter in a particular report?

    • Unfortunately, it's not possible to add a full cover letter to reports. But the header text box allows you to add any clarifying information needed at the right at the beginning of your reports!

    • If you absolutely need a cover page/letter, you'll need to create one in an outside software like Adobe and add it to the inspection as an additional document. To see how to add an additional document, click here.
