We recommend new users start by setting up the Spectora Profile. Your profile is where your information lives - your credentials, profile picture, company address, and more. This information is important to fill out so clients know who they're working with.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How do I get signatures on my reports?

    • As long as you have a signature on your profile, we can populate it onto any report!  Here's an article about that.

  • Do I have to use my personal address if I don't have a company address?

    • You will have to enter your business address into your profile, which does have to coincide with the address your business is registered under. This will only show on your Spectora public profile.

  • My home address is the same as my company/business address. Can I enter that?

    • Sure thing!

  • My personal phone number is the same as my company/business number. Can I enter that?

    • Absolutely!

  • I’m trying to upload a picture to my profile, but it’s not saving it. Why?

    • Check the file format of your photo; it will only be accepted if the format is JPG/JPEG.

  • I don't see the "Profile" option under my Settings. What gives?

    • If you're part of a multi-inspector company, your company may have certain permissions disabled, including the ability to edit the profile. You can reach out to your company admin and have them add your new profile picture.

  • What is my Header Logo used for?

    • Your header logo will only show on your Agreements, and that's it. Keep this in mind when choosing your header logo.

  • I need to change ALL of the email addresses that you have on file for my business. Is there one place to change my email globally? What do I need to change?

    • Unfortunately, there is not a global place to change your email. Each of the places where your email may be entered relates to different parts of the software. Every company functions a little bit differently, though, so these places for emails are separated and allow companies to adjust as they see fit. Some companies want their office staff to be notified of online bookings but only want the company owner notified for things like payments/payment issues.

    • To ensure you have changed your email in all relevant places, see the checklist below:

      • Update your company profile under Settings > Profile.

      • Change your Point of Contact to "Company" in Settings > Email under Business Tools. This ensures emails are sent from your company email.

      • Update your payment notifications under Settings > Payments.

      • Update your schedulers for booking notifications under Settings > Scheduling Options > Online Scheduler.

      • Update your login email under Settings > User Settings > User Options.
